OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 7 months

4-item measure of perceived intervention acceptability. Items are measured on a 5-point Likert scale and score is reported as a calculated mean with higher scores indicating greater acceptability (no cut-off scores for interpretation are yet available). We will report descriptive statistics for this measure (mean and standard deviation) to quantitatively characterize perceive acceptability of the expressive writing intervention.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 7 Months

Qualitative interviews will be transcribed by a professional HIPAA compliant transcription agency. The Study team will analyze interview data using inductive content analysis will read transcripts to derive codes, discuss labels to group codes into categories, and identify major themes and corresponding exemplar quotes.
