Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Feasibility of the ACT Intervention
Feasibility will be assessed using the 14-item feasibility subscales of the Applied Mental Health Research Group Implementation Measure (AMHR-IM). Each item is rated on a 4-point scale where "0" means "not at all" and "3" means "a lot". The overall Feasibility score is calculated as the mean (average) across all 14 completed items, where higher scores (closer to 3) reflect a higher level of perceived feasibility of the intervention.
Time frame
1 month and 6 months2
Acceptability of the ACT Intervention
Acceptability will be assessed using the 17-item acceptability subscales of the Applied Mental Health Research Group Implementation Measure (AMHR-IM). Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale where "0" means "not at all" and "3" means "a lot". The overall Acceptability score is calculated as the mean (average) across all 17 completed items, where higher scores (closer to 3) reflect a higher level of perceived acceptability of the intervention.
