Summary

The If I Were Jack feasibility trial will test the acceptability and feasibility of using and evaluating a unique and scientifically informed educational resource on the topic of teenage men and unintended pregnancy in post-primary schools in Northern Ireland. The study is being conducted by a multidisciplinary team at Queen's University Belfast with collaborators and will begin in May 2014. It is a phase II feasibility trial with an embedded process evaluation, twenty four months in duration. The research will assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and trial methods, and provide estimates for a phase III cluster randomised trial, including potential effect sizes and recruitment, retention and participation rates, so that the feasibility and optimal design of a full-scale trial can be ascertained. It will include an analysis of the costs of delivering the intervention and a process evaluation using a mixed-methods triangulated design to determine the acceptability of the intervention and research measures to participants and to establish fidelity to implementation protocol. Additionally, it will assess variation in normal practice of Relationship and Sexuality Education in participating schools in relation to teenage pregnancy.
