Notes. Video acceptability was measured on a scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Empowering and instrumental expectations, as well as return intentions, were measured on a scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (extremely so).

Higher scores amount to greater acceptance of the video, higher empowering and instrumental expectations and a stronger intention to return to the next counseling session.

There was no significant effect of meta-intervention message. The means, however, were above the midpoint of the scale, suggesting favorable perceptions.
