Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement in dietary quality (consumption of fruits and vegetables and overall diet quality index)To measure dietary quality, we will use a combination of self-reported food consumption (Intake-24). Diet-quality index evaluates dietary patterns based on the WHO’s dietary guidelines. [a) Baseline b) Post intervention assessment will be at 12 months and 24 months from the baseline] Decrease in cigarette use Self-reported cigarette consumption will be measured with questions on the smoking status and number/type of products smoked. [a) Baseline b) Post intervention assessment will be at 12 months and 24 months from the baseline] Improvement in physical activity levels It will be measured through a combination of self-reported data and, for a sub-sample, data collected through accelerometers. (Physical activity is quantified by an Axivity AX3 wrist-worn triaxial accelerometer, worn on participants’ wrist for seven days on the dominant arm). [a) Baseline b) Post intervention assessment will be at 12 months and 24 months from the baseline] Positive growth in social networks within the community and among other stakeholders (healthcare workers, other sector workers and volunteers) will be assessed qualitatively and quantitatively. (For example, the network between PHI and Grama Niladari) Following network characteristics in different networks will be assessed to determine their change from the baseline to post intervention. Measures include: (a) density of networks among health care workers and other sector workers; (b) density of networks in community; and (c) centrality of healthcare workers and community volunteers. [a) Baseline b) Post intervention assessment will be at 12 months and 24 months from the baseline] | — |
