Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the usability and pilot testing for the project "Developing a Bi-national Buddy Intervention for Smoking Cessation and Cultural Education" is to better understand how users interact with the smoking cessation app, and to improve the product based on the results. In pilot testing the smoking cessation app the investigators will examine the feasibility of our approach. The usability testing portion of the study is intended primarily to improve on the design of the smoking cessation app, and will: gather quantitative data on participant's performance, identify usability problems, and determine user satisfaction with the app. The pilot testing portion of the study will evaluate the feasibility, time, cost and statistical variability in an attempt to predict an appropriate sample size and improve upon the study design prior to performance of a full-scale research study.

Objective 1:To collect quantitative data on participant's performance while using the app for smoking cessation.

Objective 2:To identify problems with usability of the smoking cessation buddy app.

Objective 3:To assess user satisfaction with the smoking cessation buddy app. Objective 4:To improve upon the design of the smoking cessation buddy app Objective 5:To assess the feasibility, time, cost, and statistical variability for a full-scale implementation of this study with the intervention group.

Description:

Tobacco use cessation among youth is not adequately addressed in the US and Russia. The proposed intervention utilizes an innovative evidence-based approach while addressing the shortcomings of prior individual intervention components. In this project, investigators seek to refine a smoking cessation app by conducting two rounds of usability testing followed by a pilot test of the final app, to access usability problems, user satisfaction, and user-friendliness. This data will be collected in a de-identified and confidential manner, and will then be analyzed and used to refine the final app that will later be used.
