Table 1 Assessment of SexHealth Mobile feasibility: constructs, indicators, and measures

From: Contraception use among individuals with substance use disorder increases tenfold with patient-centered, mobile services: a quasi-experimental study

Feasibility Construct [25]

Indicator

Measure

Demand

(To what extent is the intervention likely to be used?)

Proportion of intervention participants interested in an MMU visit on a SexHealth Mobile Day

Baseline survey item1

Proportion of intervention participants completing MMU visits who received on-site contraception

Post-intervention survey item2

Number of additional MMU visits among individuals not eligible for the study (e.g., not within age range, participated in EUC period, already using contraception but interested in other methods)

Study staff field notes

Number of individuals (participants and non-participants) who took free condoms and pregnancy tests; number of study participants reporting taking free condoms at MMU visit

Study staff field notes; post-intervention survey1

Acceptability

(How do stakeholders react to the intervention?)

Intervention participantsā€™ ratings of post-MMU visit satisfaction and likelihood of recommending to a friend

Post-intervention survey items2

Overall satisfaction: (4-point scale; range: ā€œnot satisfied at allā€ to ā€œvery satisfiedā€)

Likelihood of recommending MMU (5-point scale from ā€œextremely unlikelyā€ to ā€œextremely likelyā€)

Intervention participantsā€™ ratings of patient-centeredness of MMU provider

Post-intervention survey items2

Person-Centered Contraceptive Counseling Survey (PCCCS) [26]: using ā€œtop scoreā€ (an ā€œexcellentā€ rating on all four items)

Intervention participantsā€™ ratings of outreach leader support

Baseline survey item3

Level of agreement that outreach leader supported them in making their own decision (4-point from ā€œstrongly disagreeā€ to ā€œstrongly agree)

Recovery center leadership support and cooperation in facilitating implementation

Study staff field notes

Proportion of EUC participants who reported they would have used the MMU if it had been available

Post-intervention survey item4

Implementation

(To what extent can the intervention be implemented as planned?)

Outreach leader activity in intervention period

Study staff field notes

Intervention participantsā€™ self-reported interactions with outreach leaders

Baseline survey item1

Acceptability of patient flow, volume, and wait time for all stakeholders

Study staff field notes

Ability of MMU/provider to meet needs of patients

Study staff field notes

Integration

(To what extent can the intervention be integrated within an existing system?)

Overall successes and challenges of integrating recovery and FHQC service systems, including personnel collaboration, scheduling, and facilitating pre-MMU patient procedures (e.g., paperwork, urine samples, implant insertion)
