Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to test a working prototype of a web-based application, Family Health Promoter (FHP), designed to support parents/guardians in facilitating positive health behavior change within their families. This initial prototype will focus on eating habits. Participants will use the application for two weeks and then complete an interview about their experience. The main questions the study aims to answer are:

  1. How easy is the application to use?
  2. How do participants use the application?
  3. In what ways do participants find the application helpful or valuable?
  4. What ideas do participants have for improving the application?

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Participant interview responses about the application's usability and acceptability

    Themes related to application usability and acceptability with participants that arise from qualitative analyses of participant responses to the semi-structured interview

    Time frame: After two weeks of application use

  2. System Usability Scale (SUS) Scores

    Total scale scores range from 0 to 100, with higher numbers reflecting more positive impressions of application usability. Scores will be interpreted according to published guidance from the developer of the SUS.

    Time frame: After two weeks of application use

  3. Usage data recorded by the application

    count of features used and time spent with each feature

    Time frame: 2 weeks
