Abstract
UNLABELLED: The purpose of this study was to provide a detailed description of completing the Attitudes and Avatars Instrument in the classroom and explore the feasibility and acceptability of the instrument. METHODS: The descriptive study included three written open-ended questions for data collection to which young adolescent boys responded after completing the Attitudes and Avatars Instrument. RESULTS: Fifty-nine boys between 11 and 14 years of age completed the instrument in the time allotted and had an overall positive reaction. CONCLUSION: As the Attitudes and Avatars Instrument continues to develop as a screening instrument, it is imperative to obtain feedback from boys of diverse races and ethnicities.
