Careful collection and analysis of data to address most elements of feasibility and not just efficacy potential was critical for evaluating whether further testing was indicated.
The rich findings from both qualitative and quantitative data helped us to identify characteristics of content and process vital for the New Brunswick Intervention for Health Enhancement After Leaving acceptability as well as the modifications needed to increase fit and responsiveness. Insights also were gleaned regarding system changes that would be required for integrated provision of the New Brunswick Intervention for Health Enhancement After Leaving across sectors. For future research design, findings provide a basis for effect-size estimation, consideration of alternate measures of physical health, and direction for additional
data collection to address cost effectiveness. These outcomes are evidence of the value of considering the full scope of feasibility when designing studies to determine whether an intervention should proceed to more controlled efficacy testing.
