The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
CATCH
The Chedoke-McMaster Attitudes towards Children with Handicaps Scale The CATCH scale contains 36 items. It is divided into three components. First, the affective component contains 12 items that focus on feelings towards people with disabilities. Second, the cognitive component contains 12 items that focus on beliefs towards people with disabilities. Third, the behavioural component contains 12 items that focus on behaviours towards people with disabilities. The CATCH scale was designed for children aged 9-13 years. The highest possible mean score on the overall scale or in any component is 40. A high score represents a more positive attitude
