Following completion of debriefing activities, students completed a Debriefing Experience Scale, a tool designed to evaluate the student experience during debriefing.
At baseline, participants completed a debriefing questionnaire that recorded time for completion, whether any help was needed and whether any of the items were upsetting, confusing or difficult to answer.
Before departing, participants completed a debriefing questionnaire.
After each interview, the interviewers completed a debriefing to discuss relevant contextual information, general impressions of the interview, and possible changes to the interview guide.
All women (both intervention and usual care) who completed the debriefing interviews were asked about their perceptions of study participation and prenatal care in general.
After the scanning session, participants completed a debriefing questionnaire that was designed to assess various factors such as the emotional response to each memory and similarity to real memories (see Supplemental Experimental Procedures for the full questionnaire and Table S3 for mean scores and analyses).
At the each of these visits, research assistants downloaded data from the EAM devices, completed a debriefing form to identify non-adherence with use of the devices, reviewed instructions for proper use of EAM devices, performed quality control checks, counted leftover pills, and refilled the monitored medication with a new 30-day supply if needed (i.e., at 4-week visit).
Ninety-five percent of students completing the debriefing survey indicated that the debriefing session helped them better understand their learning profiles; 68% stated that their profiles allowed them to evaluate themselves and their decisions.
Patients were asked to complete six debriefing questions and were asked if any of the questions were difficult, annoying, confusing, upsetting, intrusive or irrelevant.
7. When initial assessment is complete, debrief on the results and develop advocacy and follow up strategies based on the findings.
