Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Educator Knowledge of Making Proud Choices! Content and Related Sexual Health Facts | Baseline (T1), 6 week (T2) | Educator knowledge of Making Proud Choices! (MPC) curriculum content and related sexual health facts, including HIV/STI transmission and prevention, pregnancy, and condom use. Assessed via a study-developed multiple-choice/scenario-based test scored as the number of items answered correctly. The survey contains 11 items. |
| Primary | Student Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs About Safer Sex Practices | Baseline (T1) and after the final session of Making Proud Choices - approximately 8 weeks apart (T2) | Composite of student-level knowledge and belief domains assessed via a study survey: HIV/STI, pregnancy, condom, and contraception knowledge (11 items, scored as percent correct); and 8 attitude/belief subscales covering condom-related beliefs (hedonistic, prevention, availability-control), negotiation/refusal self-efficacy, beliefs about sex and future goals, attitudes toward abstinence/safer sex, and attitudes toward consent (each rated on a 1-5 agreement scale, higher = more protective attitude). Domains are analyzed separately rather than combined into a single score, consistent with the original Making Proud Choices! evaluation measures on which most items are based. |
| Primary | Educator Teaching Skill Demonstrated via Response to Virtual Classroom Vignettes | Before randomization (baseline) and after completion of the training period (post-training), within approximately 6 weeks of randomization | Educator teaching skill assessed via an asynchronous video assessment. Educators watch short video vignettes depicting realistic Making Proud Choices! classroom moments (e.g., a values-based student question, activity facilitation and debrief) and record a real-time video response demonstrating what they would say and do, as though teaching that moment live (a 'teachback'). Responses are scored by trained raters using a structured coding rubric. The rubric will assign points across a defined set of teaching-skill criteria per vignette; higher total scores will indicate stronger demonstrated teaching skill. |
| Secondary | Educator Perceptions of MPC: VISTA's Relative Advantage, Compatibility, Ease of Use, and Result Demonstrability | Immediately following completion of training (post-training only); treatment (MPC: VISTA) arm only | Technology adoption measure (adapted from Moore \& Benbasat, 1991) assessing educators' perceptions of MPC: VISTA across 4 subscales: relative advantage, compatibility, ease of use, and result demonstrability (3 items each, 12 items total), rated on a 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree) scale. Each subscale score is the mean of its 3 items (range 1-7), with higher scores indicating a more favorable perception of the training. Administered only to educators randomized to the MPC: VISTA arm, at post-training only. |
| Secondary | Training Usability of MPC: VISTA | Immediately following completion of training (post-training only); treatment (MPC: VISTA) arm only | Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ; Lewis, 1995), 19 items rated on a 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree) scale, with an 'N/A' option. Produces an overall usability score and 3 subscale scores: system usefulness (7 items), information quality (6 items), and interface quality (6 items). Each score is the mean of its items (range 1-7), with higher scores indicating greater perceived usability. Administered only to educators randomized to the MPC: VISTA arm, at post-training only. |
| Secondary | Educator Teaching Skill Demonstrated in Simulated MPC Classroom Scenarios | Baseline (t1), 6 weeks post (t2) | Educator teaching skill assessed via 3 written classroom scenarios depicting realistic Making Proud Choices! facilitation moments (a values-based student question and two activity-facilitation/debrief situations). For each scenario, the educator describes what they would say and do. |
| Other | Educator Fidelity to the Making Proud Choices! Curriculum | From the educator's first to final MPC module, an average of 8 weeks. | Educator fidelity to the Making Proud Choices! (MPC) curriculum, assessed via educator self-report using a log completed after each of the 8 MPC modules, of whether they completed the module's core activities (yes / only in part / no). |
| Other | Educator Self-Efficacy for Teaching Sexual Health Content | Baseline and immediately following completion of the training period (post-training) | Educator confidence and comfort teaching sexual health content, assessed via 3 measures: (1) the Sex Education Confidence Scale (SECS) knowledge subscale, 11 topics rated 1 (prefer not to answer) to 7 (very confident); (2) a 4-item measure of confidence teaching and discussing condom use, adapted from Jemmott, Jemmott \& Fong (1998), rated 1 (not at all) to 7 (extremely); and (3) a 6-item measure of confidence using core MPC facilitation strategies (e.g., brainstorming, roleplay, creating a safe environment), rated 1-7. Each measure is scored as the mean of its items, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy. |
| Other | Teachers' Sense of General Instructional Efficacy | Baseline and immediately following completion of the training period (post-training) | General (non-MPC-specific) teaching self-efficacy, assessed via the 12-item Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (Tschannen-Moran \& Woolfolk Hoy, 2001) covering classroom management, instructional strategies, and student engagement. Each item is rated 1 (none at all) to 5 (a great deal); the overall score is the mean of all 12 items (range 1-5), with higher scores indicating greater perceived teaching efficacy. |
| Other | Educator Use of Student-Centered Instructional Practices | Baseline and immediately following completion of the training period (post-training) | Educator use of student-centered teaching practices, assessed via 2 sub-scales of the Measuring and Improving Student-Centered Learning (MISCL) toolkit: Student-Centered Instructional Practices (6 items, rated 1 \[not at all/less than monthly\] to 5 \[daily\]) and Student Agency (12 items, rated on a comparable frequency scale). Each subscale is scored as the mean of its items, with higher scores indicating more frequent use of student-centered practices. |
