Brief Summary

The goal of the study is to examine the extent to which exposure to the SUPPORT prototype increases community health workers' (CHWs) knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy to conduct effective outreach to minority women experiencing the menopausal transition. The investigators will collect quantitative, pretest and posttest survey data from adult CHWs.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (10)

• Declarative Knowledge Pretest Score

  Investigators will ask participants multiple-choice knowledge questions related to the menopausal transition, which the investigators will sum to create a composite knowledge score ranging from 0 to 7. A score of 0 means a participant got zero questions correct, while a score of 7 means a participant got all 7 questions correct. Then, the investigators will create the composite knowledge average by dividing the participant's composite score by the total number of questions (7) and multiplying by 100. The higher the score, the more questions a participant answered correctly.

  Baseline

• Declarative Knowledge Posttest Score

  Investigators will ask participants multiple-choice knowledge questions related to the menopausal transition, which the investigators will sum to create a composite knowledge score ranging from 0 to 7. A score of 0 means a participant got zero questions correct, while a score of 7 means a participant got all 7 questions correct. Then, the investigators will create the composite knowledge average by dividing the participant's composite score by the total number of questions (7) and multiplying by 100. The higher the score, the more questions a participant answered correctly.

  Upon study completion, average 15 days

• Procedural Knowledge Pretest Score

  Investigators will ask participants multiple-choice procedural knowledge questions related to the menopausal transition, which the investigators will sum to create a composite procedural knowledge score ranging from 0 to 5. A score of 0 means a participant got zero questions correct, while a score of 5 means a participant got all 5 questions correct. Then, investigators will create the composite procedural knowledge average by dividing the participant's composite score by the total number of questions (5) and multiplying by 100. The higher the score, the more questions a participant answered correctly.

  Baseline

• Procedural Knowledge Posttest Score

  Investigators will ask participants multiple-choice procedural knowledge questions related to the menopausal transition, which investigators will sum to create a composite procedural knowledge score ranging from 0 to 5. A score of 0 means a participant got zero questions correct, while a score of 5 means a participant got all 5 questions correct. Then, investigators will create the composite procedural knowledge average by dividing the participant's composite score by the total number of questions (5) and multiplying by 100. The higher the score, the more questions a participant answered correctly.

  Upon study completion, average 15 days

• Skills Pretest Score

  Investigators will ask all participants Likert-type scale questions about skills to conduct menopausal transition outreach. Each answer choice rating will range from 1 to 10, with higher ratings representing more outreach experience. Investigators will create the composite skills score by summing the scores from the participant's 15 skill items with a range of 15 to 150. Then, investigators will create the composite skills average by dividing the participant's composite score by the total number of questions (15), and the composite score will range from 1 to 10. The higher the score, the more experience a participant indicates.

  Baseline

• Skills Posttest Score

  Investigators will ask all participants Likert-type scale questions about skills to conduct menopausal transition outreach. Each answer choice rating will range from 1 to 10, with higher ratings representing more outreach experience. Investigators will create the composite skills score by summing the scores from the participant's 15 skill items with a range of 5 to 150. Then, Investigators will create the composite skills average by dividing the participant's composite score by the total number of questions (15), and the composite score will range from 1 to 10. The higher the score, the more experience a participant indicates.

  Upon study completion, average 15 days

• Self-efficacy Pretest Score

  Investigators will ask all participants Likert-type scale questions related to perceived self-efficacy with conducting menopausal transition outreach. Each rating will range from 1 to 10, with higher ratings representing higher perceptions of confidence in providing outreach. Investigators will create the composite self-efficacy score by summing the scores from the participant's 5 self-efficacy items with a range of 5 to 50. Then, investigators will create the composite self-efficacy average by dividing the participant's composite score by the number of self-efficacy items (5). The composite will range from 1 to 10.

  Baseline

• Self-efficacy Posttest Score

  Investigators will ask all participants Likert-type scale questions related to perceived self-efficacy with conducting menopausal transition outreach. Each rating will range from 1 to 10, with higher ratings representing higher perceptions of confidence in providing outreach. Investigators will create the composite self-efficacy score by summing the scores from the participant's 5 self-efficacy items with a range of 5 to 50. Then, investigators will create the composite self-efficacy average by dividing the participant's composite score by the number of self-efficacy items (5). The composite average will range from 1 to 10.

  Upon study completion, average 15 days

• Intentions Pretest Score

  Investigators will ask all participants Likert-type scale questions related to intentions of conducting menopausal transition outreach. Each rating will range from 1 to 10, with higher ratings representing higher intentions to provide outreach. Investigators will create the composite intention score by summing the scores from the participant's 4 intention items with a range of 4 to 40. Then, investigators will create the composite intentions average by dividing the participant's composite score by the number of intention items (4). The composite average will range from 1 to 10.

  Baseline

• Intentions Posttest Score

  Investigators will ask all participants Likert-type scale questions related to intentions of conducting menopausal transition outreach. Each rating will range from 1 to 10, with higher ratings representing higher intentions to provide outreach. Investigators will create the composite intention score by summing the scores from the participant's 4 intentions items with a range of 4 to 40. Then, investigators will create the composite intention average by dividing the participant's composite score by the number of intention items (4). The composite average will range from 1 to 10.

  Upon study completion, average 15 days
