q2 · i? · causal · r1

Feasibility analysis using module export data in the pilot RCT: mean active login days 2.71 (SD 1.49), mean 2.93 narrative evaluations completed, and 4 participants consuming no narratives. The authors note half of participants consumed fewer than 4 narratives, indicating low engagement with the unguided format.

"Quantitative analyses showed active engagement with the module varied, with participants logging in between 1 and 6 days during the 12-week intervention period and consuming between 0 and 7 narratives."
