Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Attitudes towards Intellectual Disabilities (ATTID) scale, which draws on a multidimensional understanding of attitudes, will be used as primary outcome measure. The ATTID assesses the cognitive, affective, and behavioural components of attitudes across five-factors: two factors (Discomfort and Sensitivity/Tenderness) in the affective dimension; two factors (Knowledge of Causes and Knowledge of Capacity and Rights) in the cognitive dimension; and one factor (Interaction) in the behavioural dimension. This study uses the ATTID short form which consists of 36 items, using a 5-point Likert scale (1 = agree completely to 5 = disagree completely; plus an option of 9 to indicate “I don’t know”/”not applicable”). The causal beliefs listed in the ATTID will be supplemented with three items from the supernatural causes subscale of the Intellectual Disabilities Literacy Scale (IDLS) to tap into superstitious causal attributions common in African countries and implicated in intellectual disability stigma. Measures will be administered at three time points: baseline, post-intervention (T1), and 1-month follow-up (T2).	—
