Quantitative Fragebogenerhebungen (online/telefonisch), Qualitative Interviewbefragungen (persönlich)
Sixteen participants completed survey questionnaires assessing the cognitive and social outcomes of the interventions and the key elements contributing to their effectiveness. We used a six-item instrument for cognitive outcomes and a seven-item instrument for social outcomes. The cognitive and social outcomes were assessed on a Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Nine participants took part in qualitative interviews.
In total, 18 participants provided data; 16 completed outcome questionnaires, and 9 participated in interviews post-intervention.
