结局指标
主要结局
Acceptability Rating Scale
时间窗: At baseline enrollment visit and weekly throughout training for a total of 20 weeks
A qualitative measure of the acceptability of intervention was collected at each timepoint. Quantitative acceptability ratings about the CRUSH curriculum were obtained at the conclusion of intervention using a 5-point rating scale, with "1" indicating agreement with a statement about the curriculum and "5" indicating disagreement. Items were: I would be likely to recommend the program to a friend. Knowing what I know now, I'm happy with my choice to participate in the CRUSH Program. The program was easy to understand. The CRUSH Program presented information clearly. The program was relevant to me and my experience. The program was helpful. I learned new information from the program. I feel more confident in my ability try new things in relationships or sexual experiences after participating in the program. I have new skills/behaviors after participating in the program. Items were averaged into a total score (range: 1-5); lower scores reflected higher agreement/better acceptability.
