Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Acceptability of intervention
Average score among participants of the Information Systems Success Model. The 16-item scale measures information quality, perceived usefulness, and overall satisfaction. Every item is scored on a 1-7 scale, with 1 being "Strongly Disagree" and 7 being "Strongly Agree". Responses are averaged to produce an overall ISSM score (1-7; higher scores indicate higher acceptability/satisfaction).
Post-Intervention, week 2
Satisfaction with intervention
Average score among participants of the Information Systems Success Model. The 16-item scale measures information quality, perceived usefulness, and overall satisfaction. Every item is scored on a 1-7 scale, with 1 being "Strongly Disagree" and 7 being "Strongly Agree". Responses are averaged to produce an overall ISSM score (1-7; higher scores indicate higher acceptability/satisfaction).
Post-Intervention, week 2
Workshop feasibility
Number of participants that complete at least two workshops
Immediately after the intervention
Missed sexual healthcare visits
Ratio of scheduled sexual healthcare visits to missed sexual healthcare visits in the past 6 months
Baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Change in participants perceived ability and confident to perform job seeking activities
Average change in score between baseline and 12 months on Job-Seeking Self-Efficacy scale on participants perceived ability and confidence to perform job seeking activities. The 12-item Job Seeking Self-Efficacy scale uses response values on a 1-10 score, with 1 being "Not at All Confident" and 10 being "Very Confident". Responses are averaged to yield a total score, with higher scores indicating higher self-efficacy. Change in JSS will be calculated by subtracting the JSS score at baseline (T1) from the JSS score at the 6- (T3) and 12-month follow-ups (T4) (-9 to +9; negative change indicates decreased self-efficacy, while positive change indicates increased self-efficacy).
