About this study

Official title: Integrating Psychosocial and Mental Health Support in Maternal, Prenatal, and Perinatal Health for Better Adolescent Health in Jordan

This implementation study evaluates an integrated digital e-clinic designed to provide mental health, psychosocial, and reproductive health support to women and adolescent girls in Jordan, including Jordanian and Syrian refugee participants and other vulnerable groups. The e-clinic provides individualized psychosocial support, evidence-based educational content, self-help resources, scheduled interactions with trained healthcare providers, and referral pathways for participants requiring additional or specialized services. Participants complete baseline assessments before using the e-clinic and follow-up assessments approximately three months after baseline or following completion of the intervention. The study evaluates changes in mental health and well-being outcomes as well as acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, accessibility, digital health literacy, reproductive health knowledge and attitudes, service utilization, participant satisfaction, privacy, and engagement with the e-clinic.

Read the detailed description

The study uses a single-group pre-post implementation design to evaluate an integrated e-clinic for women and adolescent girls in Jordan. The digital intervention integrates mental health and psychosocial support with reproductive and maternal health information and referral services.

Participants receive access to individualized psychosocial support, educational and self-help resources, and referral support according to their assessed needs. The intervention incorporates safety and referral procedures for participants requiring urgent or specialized mental health or medical services.

Participants complete a baseline assessment before beginning use of the e-clinic. Follow-up assessment is conducted after completion of the intervention or approximately three months from baseline. Process indicators include the number and type of psychosocial sessions received, use of educational and self-help components, peer or group support where applicable, referral use and completion, and engagement with the digital platform.

Outcomes include depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, psychological well-being, post-traumatic stress symptoms, electronic health literacy, reproductive health knowledge, reproductive health attitudes and self-efficacy, acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, accessibility, privacy, cultural appropriateness, perceived usefulness, service utilization, satisfaction and continuity of care.

The intervention is delivered remotely through a secure electronic e-clinic platform. Participants may access the intervention from their own location, and no routine in-person attendance at the study facility is required

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Primary Outcome 1 -Change From Baseline in Depressive Symptoms Measured Using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) or Patient Health Questionnaire-Adolescent Version (PHQ-A)

    Depressive symptoms will be assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for adult women and the Patient Health Questionnaire-Adolescent version (PHQ-A) for adolescent girls. Each participant will complete only the age-appropriate 9-item instrument. Each item is scored from 0 to 3, and the 9 item scores are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 27. Higher scores indicate greater depressive symptom severity and lower scores indicate fewer depressive symptoms. Change from baseline will be calculated as the follow-up total score minus the baseline total score; negative change scores indicate improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and approximately 3 months after baseline/completion of the intervention

  2. Primary Outcome 2 - Change From Baseline in Anxiety Symptoms Measured Using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7)

    Anxiety symptoms will be assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), a 7-item self-report measure. Each item is scored from 0 to 3. Item scores are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety symptom severity and lower scores indicate fewer anxiety symptoms. Change from baseline will be calculated as the follow-up total score minus the baseline total score; negative change scores indicate improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and approximately 3 months after baseline/completion of the intervention

Secondary outcomes (20)
  1. Change From Baseline in Psychological Well-Being Measured Using the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5)

    Psychological well-being will be assessed using the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5), a 5-item measure of subjective psychological well-being. Each item is scored from 0 to 5. The 5 item scores are summed to produce a raw total score ranging from 0 to 25. The raw total is multiplied by 4 to produce the reported WHO-5 score ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better psychological well-being. Change from baseline will be calculated as the follow-up score minus the baseline score; positive change scores indicate improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and approximately 3 months after baseline.

  2. Change From Baseline in Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms Measured Using the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (PCL-5)

    Post-traumatic stress symptoms will be assessed using the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (PCL-5), a 20-item self-report measure. Each item is scored from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). The 20 item scores are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 80. Higher scores indicate greater post-traumatic stress symptom severity and lower scores indicate fewer symptoms. Change from baseline will be calculated as the follow-up total score minus the baseline total score; negative change scores indicate improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and approximately 3 months after baseline.

  3. Change From Baseline in Electronic Health Literacy Measured Using the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS)

    Electronic health literacy will be assessed using the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS), an 8-item self-report measure. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The 8 item scores are summed to produce a total score ranging from 8 to 40. Higher scores indicate greater perceived electronic health literacy. Change from baseline will be calculated as the follow-up total score minus the baseline total score; positive change scores indicate improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and approximately 3 months after baseline.

  4. Change From Baseline in Reproductive-Health Knowledge Measured Using the 12-Item Reproductive-Health Literacy/Knowledge Module

    Reproductive-health knowledge will be assessed using the study-specific 12-item Reproductive-Health Literacy/Knowledge Module. Each item has True, False, and Don't know response options. A correct response is scored 1, while an incorrect or Don't know response is scored 0. The 12 item scores are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 12. Higher scores indicate greater reproductive-health knowledge. Change from baseline will be calculated as the follow-up total score minus the baseline total score; positive change scores indicate improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and approximately 3 months after baseline.

  5. Change From Baseline in Reproductive-Health Attitudes and Self-Efficacy Measured Using a 7-Item Study-Specific Questionnaire

    Reproductive-health attitudes and self-efficacy will be assessed using a study-specific 7-item questionnaire comprising 3 reproductive-health attitude items and 4 self-efficacy items. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree). To obtain one reported value, the mean of all 7 items will be calculated for each participant, producing an overall score ranging from 1 to 5. Higher scores indicate more positive reproductive-health attitudes and greater self-efficacy. Change from baseline will be calculated as the follow-up mean score minus the baseline mean score; positive change scores indicate improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and approximately 3 months after baseline.

  6. Acceptability of the E-Clinic Measured Using the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM)

    Acceptability of the e-clinic will be assessed using the 4 scored items in the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) section of the study questionnaire. The items assess overall satisfaction, appeal, acceptability of using the e-clinic, and willingness to continue using the e-clinic. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree). The mean of the 4 scored items will be calculated, producing a score ranging from 1 to 5. Higher scores indicate greater perceived acceptability of the e-clinic.

    Measured: Approximately 3 months after baseline.

  7. Participant-Reported Usability of The E-Clinic

    Usability will be assessed using the study-specific 5-item Usability and Accessibility domain of the E-Clinic Implementation Research Questionnaire.
