Trial Outcomes & Findings for Youth-friendly Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare Pilot in Mumbai, India (NCT NCT04307849)

NCT ID: NCT04307849

Last Updated: 2024-11-06

Results Overview

Change from baseline to end of intervention (\~10 weeks) will be measured using the subscale "Sexual and Reproductive Health Knowledge" subscale of the "Illustrative Questionnaire for Interview-Surveys with Young People" \[Cleland, et al. 2001(1)\], which has been validated and used to assess adolescent and young adult knowledge about sexual and reproductive health and rights. The survey consists of a subset of 22 questions, and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Each correct answer receives 1 point, while wrong answers and "I don't know" responses receive 0 points. The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0-22. Higher scores suggest better sexual and reproductive health and rights knowledge.

The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) questionnaire is an assessment of symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. Each item is rated on a Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0-21; higher scores indicate greater presence of generalized anxiety disorder symptoms.

The Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale (PHQ-8) is an 8-item assessment of depressive symptomology. The questionnaire is scored by adding up the values of all eight items on the scale. Each item uses a 4-point Likert-type scale, ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 3 ("nearly every day"). The total score ranges from 0 to 24 points, with higher scores indicating greater depressive symptomology.
