Registration Number
NCT03715426
Lead Sponsor
University of Michigan
Brief Summary

This study utilizes implementation science principles to culturally adapt a pre-existing web-based application (WebApp) for use with college students. The ADAPT-ITT process will be utilized to adapt the WebApp to a diverse (race, ethnicity, gender/sexual identity) college population with a focus on life skills and holistic self-care as reinforcement to currently available primary prevention programming available to incoming students. The study hypothesis is that the adapted WebApp will be usable, acceptable, and students will be willing to use it as a reinforcement to current university primary prevention programming. The study team will also monitor retention of participants over the academic year. This is a repeat pilot test to evaluate changes implemented to the WebApp after the initial pilot during the 2017-2018 academic year.

GroupInterventionDescription
MKit WebApp InterventionMKitThe intervention arm will receive the usual standard of care training package for incoming students at the University of Michigan which includes: 1) Haven, an online module about healthy relationships and sexual violence completed before coming to campus; 2) Relationship Remix, an interactive peer-delivered program on healthy relationships and sexual violence; and 3) Change it Up, a bystander intervention educational theater performance delivered by student actors. In addition, they will receive access the MKit WebApp, which will give them access to content, goal setting, and resources for 14 topic areas.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Usability of the MKit WebApp as Assessed by the 10-item System Usability Scale4-Months

Usability of the MKit WebApp will be measured using the 10-item System Usability Scale. Participants in the experimental group will complete the System Usability Scale, which is a 10 item questionnaire with responses that are rated from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree) regarding use of the MKit WebApp. To get a final score: 1) First, one is subtracted from the score of the odd items; 2) Second, the responses are subtracted from 5 for the even-numbered items; 3) Then the responses are summed and multiplied by 2.5 to get a range of 0-100. A score above 68 is considered above average for perceived usability.

Acceptability of the MKit WebApp as Assessed by the 5-item System Acceptability Scale4-Months

The 5-item System Acceptability Scale (investigator created) will be used to evaluate the acceptability of the WebApp in the intervention group only. An investigator-created acceptability scale with 5-items will be used to measure acceptability. Four items are scored from 1 (Strongly Agree/Very Likely) to 5 (Strongly Disagree/Very Unlikely) and will be reverse coded. One item assesses the frequency of use of the WebApp from 1 (Never) to 5 (Multiple times a week). All five items will be summed for a total score. Scores range from 5-25, with higher scores indicating greater acceptability.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
4-Month Retention4-Month

The retention rate will be calculated based on how many participants in the intervention group have completed the follow-up surveys. A total retention rate (those retained/those enrolled) will be computed based on interaction with the WebApp.

1-Month Retention1-Month

The retention rate will be calculated based on how many participants in the intervention group have completed the follow-up surveys. A total retention rate (those retained/those enrolled) will be computed based on interaction with the WebApp.
