Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in perceived barriers towards active transport | The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention) | Perceived barriers towards active transport (e.g. time, accidents, weather, sweating,...) will be assessed via twenty-one items with a five-point answer format. |
| Change in perceived benefits towards active transport | The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention) | Perceived benefits towards active transport (e.g. health, cost, parking lot, independence,...) will be assessed via seventeen items with a five-point answer format. |
| Change in subjective norm towards active transport | The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention) | Subjective norm towards active transport will be assessed via three items (family, friends, partner) with a five-point answer format. |
| Change in self-efficacy towards active transport | The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention) | Self-efficacy towards active transport (e.g. bad weather, darkness, when tired,...) will be assessed via eleven items with a five-point answer format. |
| Change in awareness towards active transport | The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention) | Awareness towards active transport (e.g. ecology, health benefits, private car ownership,...) will be assessed via eight items with a five-point answer format. |
| Change in habit towards active transport | The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention) | Habit towards active transport (e.g. walking or cycling for transport is something I automatically do) will be assessed via four items with a five-point answer format. |
| Change in intention to use active transport after obtaining a driving license | The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention) | Intention to use active transport after obtaining a driving license will be assessed via three items with a five-point answer format (e.g. how much do you want to keep using active transport for short distances after obtaining a driving licence). |
