Feasibility and acceptability of the programs.a

Marker Description Criteria
Feasibility of recruitment Proportion of patients who agreed to participate from the total contacted
  • Excellent: ≥80% of contacted patients agree to participate

  • Good: ≥70% of contacted patients agree to participate

Program acceptability Proportion of participants who attended 6 out of 8 sessions (including makeups)
  • Excellent: ≥80% of participants attend 6 out of 8 sessions

  • Good: ≥70% of participants attend 6 out of 8 sessions

  • Good: ≥70% of participants rate credibility and expectancy above the scale midpoint

Therapist adherence to manual Clinician adherence to audio recording, progress note, and checklist with content delivered
  • Excellent: 100% of audio recordings, progress notes, and checklists were completed with 100% of content delivered

  • Good: ≥75% of audio recordings, progress notes, and checklists were completed with 100% of content delivered

Feasibility of quantitative measures Number of questionnaires entirely missing in more than 25% of participants

  • Excellent: ≥80% of participants complete at least 5 out of the 7 homework logs

  • Good: ≥70% of participants complete at least 5 out of the 7 homework logs

Adherence to ActiGraphs and Fitbit Number of participants with valid ActiGraph data (≥7 hours) for 6 out of 8 days; number of participants who wore the Fitbit for 5 out of 7 days. We also report the number of days participants step count goal was met

  • Good: ≥70% of participants with valid ActiGraph data on ≥6 out of 8 days per week

  • Excellent: ≥80% of participants wear the Fitbit at least 5 of the 7 days per week

  • Good: ≥70% of participants wear the Fitbit at least 5 of the 7 days per week

Modified patient global impression of change Participant ratings of overall improvement in program outcomes
  • Lower scores reflect higher amounts of perceived improvements

Client satisfaction Proportion of participants above the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire midpoint [63]
  • Excellent: ≥80% of participants rate satisfaction above the scale midpoint

Program safety and adverse events Number of adverse events reported by participants throughout the program
  • Excellent: no adverse events linked to program participation are reported and considered

  • Good: mild adverse events are reported in ≤10% of participants linked to program participation

aWe set benchmarks based on development guidelines [64,65] and our feasibility pilots [29,35,39,61].
