Table 5 Application of the framework to Abu-rayya [36]

Intervention

1

Research and evidence use

***

Draws from research literature

2

Effectiveness

***

Effective results reported, extensive literature on contact—but less in online settings

3

Acceptability

**

Intervention tested in a number of countries; may be difficult to implement outside of school environment; significant time requirement; electronic contact may be more acceptable than in person

4

Format

**

May not scale outside of school environment, significant time requirement

Costs

5

Costs and resourcing

**

Leverages common technology e.g., video conferencing or text chat but requires digital access; relatively effective intervention in non-face-to-face contact category; similar to typical school curriculum so costs likely to be considered reasonable

Delivery

6

Feasibility and provide capacity

**

Requires an adequate number of minority group members to pair up in exercise

7

Legal

***

Intervention details accessible via publication

8

Adaptability

**

Good potential to adapt contents to other contexts—however, may be difficult to adapt outside of the school environment due to the nature of tasks

Context
