Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Feasibility indicators included acceptability of the intervention and study procedures, recruitment feasibility, data collection appropriateness, programme retention, and facilitator competency. Acceptability of intervention content and delivery was assessed using the adapted Child Evaluation Inventory (scores: 22–110), and study procedures were rated on a separate 5-point Likert scale (scores: 11–55), with higher scores reflecting greater acceptability. Acceptability and feasibility of the intervention was also assessed qualitatively via 45-60 minute semi-structured individual interviews with a sub-sample of adolescents participants who completed the intervention as well as all facilitators and community stakeholders. Facilitator competencies and content fidelity were peer-assessed by facilitators, the lead researcher and an independent rater using the Therapeutic Attributes and Competencies for Teen groups tool and intervention-specific checklists for each session, respectively. | — |
