Usability Issues in Evidence-Based Psychosocial Interventions and Implementation Strategies: Cross-project Analysis

Usability Issues in Evidence-Based Psychosocial Interventions and Implementation Strategies: Cross-project Analysis

We set out to apply a core concept from human-centered design (HCD) to understand and improve EBPIs: usability. Usability is the degree to which a program can be used easily, efficiently, and with satisfaction/low user burden by a particular end user [17].

Using Health Concept Surveying to Elicit Usable Evidence: Case Studies of a Novel Evaluation Methodology

Using Health Concept Surveying to Elicit Usable Evidence: Case Studies of a Novel Evaluation Methodology

Our Sinus Check example includes the following text: A smartphone app named Skin Check analyzes a picture of a mole to determine whether or not it is cancerous. To use the app, you are asked to take a picture of the mole so that it is clearly visible. The app guides you through taking a picture so that it can see the mole clearly and at a proper distance. Skin Check comes with your smartphone by default as part of a new mobile health initiative by [Phone Company].

Designing Asynchronous Remote Support for Behavioral Activation in Teenagers With Depression: Formative Study

Designing Asynchronous Remote Support for Behavioral Activation in Teenagers With Depression: Formative Study

For example, if a teen is rejected by a friend and subsequently experiences a low mood, a mood-directed behavior would be to isolate from all peers to avoid further rejection. Isolation from a broader group of peers would likely lead to negative consequences, such as worsening friendships and a lack of social contact. These negative consequences feedback in the teen’s environmental stress, low mood, and avoidant behaviors, ultimately resulting in a negative cycle of depression.

Integrating User-Centered Design and Behavioral Science to Design a Mobile Intervention for Obesity and Binge Eating: Mixed Methods Analysis

Integrating User-Centered Design and Behavioral Science to Design a Mobile Intervention for Obesity and Binge Eating: Mixed Methods Analysis

For digital (eg, online, mobile) interventions, we have suggested that experimental therapeutics also must account for user engagement as a mediator of clinical outcomes [5] because even a clinically potent intervention will fail to improve symptoms if users do not engage with it.

Sub-study Correction: Use of Human-Centered Design to Improve Implementation of Evidence-Based Psychotherapies in Low-Resource Communities: Protocol for Studies Applying a Framework to Assess Usability

Sub-study Correction: Use of Human-Centered Design to Improve Implementation of Evidence-Based Psychotherapies in Low-Resource Communities: Protocol for Studies Applying a Framework to Assess Usability

The authors of “Use of Human-Centered Design to Improve Implementation of Evidence-Based Psychotherapies in Low-Resource Communities: Protocol for Studies Applying a Framework to Assess Usability” (JMIR Res Protoc 2019;8(10):e14990) have identified several errors in reporting some details of one of the UW ALACRITY Center’s sub-studies.

As a result, the science-to-service gap for EBPIs remains significant. The usability of EBPIs and implementation strategies are a major challenge to successful implementation and one that has largely been largely overlooked by health care researchers who focus on promoting the implementation of evidence-based practices in routine service settings. Usability is defined as the degree to which a program can be used easily, efficiently, and with satisfaction/low user burden by a particular stakeholder [24].

More Than Telemonitoring: Health Provider Use and Nonuse of Life-Log Data in Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Weight Management

More Than Telemonitoring: Health Provider Use and Nonuse of Life-Log Data in Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Weight Management

We focused on health providers in a large, university-affiliated health system (1). To gather perspectives from providers in other health systems, we also interviewed providers in a second university-affiliated health system (2), a health maintenance organization (1), and one independent dietitian.
