Reducing Methamphetamine Use in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities With the “We Can Do This” Web App: Qualitative Evaluation of Acceptability and Feasibility

Some participants appeared satisfied: I was hoping that the app would help me on the way and it definitely support me in that direction. I went into the app knowing that I needed to try a lot of things to cut back and get off it [methamphetamine]. Some participants felt challenged by the content of the web application. As one client commented, “Sometimes it hit a little too close to home, what these people are saying” (P184).

Evaluating Theory-Driven Messaging to Overcome the Barriers to Meditation: Large-Scale Digital Field Experiment

The messages were served in the Spotify mobile app and were triggered when people in the sample visited the app’s homepage. The message type and call-to-action from this campaign are similar to the various types of in-app messages and notifications that Spotify users are accustomed to receiving. People who received the message could choose to click the message call-to-action or dismiss the message. By clicking on the message, participants were redirected to an introductory meditation program on Spotify.

Usability and Quality of the JoyPop App: Prospective Evaluation Study

Usability and Quality of the JoyPop App: Prospective Evaluation Study

Although evidence of a mental health app’s effectiveness is essential, it does not guarantee users will engage with or enjoy their experience with an app [15,32]. Student engagement and long-term uptake of mental health apps are typically low [33-35] and can reduce the overall positive outcomes associated with app use [32,36]. Engagement, safety, and overall utility are affected by how usable an app is perceived to be and a user’s perspective on the quality of an app [15,34,36].

Users’ Needs for Mental Health Apps: Quality Evaluation Using the User Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale

In Korea, research targeting specific user groups and behaviors, such as hospital employee–focused case studies and app development for anger management, is ongoing, yet a broader understanding of whether these apps meet users’ needs remains limited [18-20]. This study assessed the content and quality of mental health apps available in South Korea from the user perspective, focusing on apps from the Google Play Store and i OS App Store.

The Effects of a Smartphone App (Feelee) to Enhance Adolescents’ Emotion Regulation Skills in a Forensic Outpatient Setting: Protocol for a Multiple Single-Case Experimental Design

Following this, daily measurements are set up by installing a data collection app (M-path) on the adolescent’s smartphone. The researcher explains how to use the app and tests it directly. From that moment, adolescents receive a daily notification from the app to complete the measurement within a set time frame. The daily measurement continues throughout the 2-week baseline phase, the following 4-week intervention phase, until the last day of the 2-week follow-up phase.

A Companion Robot for Children With Asthma: Descriptive Development and Feasibility Pilot Study

The SUS, developed by John Brooke in 1986 [17], is a widely recognized tool for evaluating the usability and overall satisfaction of a companion robot-assisted app. The SUS consists of a 5-point Likert scale, with response options ranging from 1 (“strongly disagree”) to 5 (“strongly agree”). The scale includes 10 items—5 positively worded and 5 negatively worded—that assess the usability of the asthma management app.
