Primary Outcomes (Explanation)
|
Before
Primary outcomes that record the activity of each user on the digital platform aim at evaluating participants’ interest in the information shared through the platform. This also includes whether injection points share the informative content with their peer group or not – and if yes, at what frequency and at what speed. We expect treated groups to behave differently, with a dissemination of information that is both faster and more systematic in groups whose injection point is an early adopter of agroecology, because the latter is expected to play its role as injection point more effectively than an ordinary peer.

This also includes whether injection points share the informative content with their peer group or not – and if yes, at what frequency and at what speed. We want to verify that the individuals who received the information second-hand have reached the same information as the injection points. We also want to know if injection points in treatment arm~A (who are EA) do better than injection points in treatment arm~B (who are ordinary peers) in disseminating information. We can assume, for example, that EA injection points, who are more familiar with agroecology, transmit information more often, more regularly and with more involvement (by inserting personal comments or answering questions from their peers for example) than their ordinary counterparts.

Secondary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
Secondary outcomes include scores of knowledge tests relating to the content distributed to the treated groups through the platform. The control group clusters take the knowledge tests too.

Secondary Outcomes (Explanation)
|
Before
The scores on the knowledge tests which are taken several times during the protocol and whose objective is to evaluate to what extent the information disseminated in the content within the groups has been assimilated by the recipients of the content. We expect that the acquisition of knowledge will be better in clusters whose injection point is a peer leader, since they are expected to receive more informative content, on a more regular basis. We also expect that the acquisition of knowledge will be better among injection points, since they receive first-hand information; it is also expected to be better among early adopters since they are expected to be more familiar with and more open to new techniques.
Insofar as the information reaches the recipients, we also evaluate the change in practices likely to be triggered by the acquisition of new knowledge. Here again, we expect that clusters whose injection point is a peer leader will outperform other clusters, that recipients of first-hand information will outperform recipients of second-hand information, and that peer leaders will outperform ordinary peers.
