What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases Knowledge Scale
The 25-item, 6-sub-dimensional STIPS was found to be acceptably compatible with Turkish culture. Correct answers to each item in the scale are worth 1 point, while incorrect or don't know answers are worth 0 points. The highest total score to be obtained from the scale is 25 and the lowest score is 0.
Measured: change from before implamentation patent and after 1st day of practice.
Reproductive Health and Family Planning Attitude Scale
The scale has 3 sub-dimensions: 'unwanted pregnancies', 'sexually transmitted infections' and 'infertility and fertility treatments'. The scale has no cut-off point. As the score obtained from the scale increases, attitudes towards reproductive health and FP become more positive. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 5. Cronbach's alpha of the scale is 0.88.
Measured: change from before implamentation patent and after 1st day of practice.
