Feasibility objectives evaluated and sources of information

Data source used Objective 1: Recruitment capability Objective 2: Data collection procedures and outcome measures Objective 3: Acceptability and suitability of intervention and study procedures Objective 4: Resources and implementation of study and intervention Objective 5: Preliminary evaluation of participant responses
Direct research measures – Quantitative standardized measures • Participant recruitment and refusal rates

• Missing data

• Internal consistency

• Sensitive to effects

• Normed within appropriate population researched

• Retention rate

• Follow-up rates

N/A

• Quantitative data indicate likely success

• Participant level data suggest changes in key outcomes

• Outcome change in expected direction

• Estimate of effects show promise

• Evidence intervention change is not in desired outcomes

Implementation measure completed by teachers – Checklist N/A N/A • Fidelity of implementation (checklist) N/A

• Feedback intervention likely successful

• Evidence intervention not implemented as intended

Semi-structured interviews conducted with teachers • Relevance of intended population for recruitment

• Capacity

• Amount of data required

• Time burden

• Engagement to intervention

• Integration into curriculum

• Time burden of intervention

• Acceptability of intervention

• Interest of intervention from participants

• Safety considerations

• Supports provided by research team

• Adverse events reported

• Technology/equipment appropriate and functional (school support)

• Technology appropriate (online data collection)

• Feedback of intervention indicate likely successful

• Data collection procedures appropriate

• Outcome measures appropriate

• Evidence intervention change is not desired outcomes
