What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Assess app usability using the System Usability Scale (SUS)
Data collected using the System Usability Scale (SUS) will provide insight to the usability of the Spanish BMT4Me app in its current form. he SUS is a 10-item questionnaire routinely used to evaluate the functionality and acceptability of mHealth apps. The SUS is scored on a scale, giving a score from from 0 to 100 where 100 is considered the highest rating of usability. A score of > 68 is considered above average.
Measured: 6/1/24 - 5/1/26
