Effectiveness of our platform
Our social media pages have succeeded in raising the awareness of young adults in their parents' retirement.
From mid March to May 7, our Instagram page has:
Been engaged by 740 accounts
Gained 502 followers (with 79% of them in the age of 18-34)
Created 27 posts of memes and Q&As regarding retirement
...and our top post has gained 97 likes

However,
we also need to find out how effective our platform in enabling the young adults we have reached to support and help their parents' transitions to and life during retirement.
User Experience questionnaire
A questionnaire was created to collect the user experience of our platform, and it was delivered using a google form distributed through our Instagram stories and account descriptions.
With regards to the objectives we have established for the platform, our questionnaire consists of 5 sections, with each section containing statements that participants rate whether they agree or disagree with them using the Likert scale of 1-5, while 5 means very satisfying and 1 is very dissatisfying.
The 5 sections are:
Knowledge gained from the platform (6 statements)
Attitudes regarding the information presented in the platform (5 statements)
Effectiveness of the platform towards the participants (7 statements)
Effectiveness of the platform towards the participants’ parents (6 statements)
Attitudes towards how information is delivered in the platform (6 statements)
In addition, basic demographics of the participants’ age, sex, education level, martial status, types of housing and median household income were collected at the end of the questionnaire.
