Toward Increasing Engagement in Substance Use Data Collection: Development of the Substance Abuse Research Assistant App and Protocol for a Microrandomized Trial Using Adolescents and Emerging Adults

Toward Increasing Engagement in Substance Use Data Collection: Development of the Substance Abuse Research Assistant App and Protocol for a Microrandomized Trial Using Adolescents and Emerging Adults

In this paper, we describe a mobile phone app, Substance Abuse Research Assistant (SARA), intended to enhance participant engagement in self-reporting. We also describe a micro-randomized trial (MRT) [42,43] design to rigorously test several engagement strategies we built into SARA. To our knowledge, the SARA study will be the first [44] to examine how the effect of engagement strategies may vary with both time and context (eg, negative affect, stress, loneliness).

Comparing Synchronous and Asynchronous Remotely Delivered Lifestyle Interventions: Protocol for a Randomized Noninferiority Trial

Comparing Synchronous and Asynchronous Remotely Delivered Lifestyle Interventions: Protocol for a Randomized Noninferiority Trial

Engagement in the large group continued through month 8 and then dropped off, whereas in the small group, engagement ceased after month 3. Furthermore, the larger group (n=94) produced nearly 5-fold greater engagement than the small group, which was much larger than the proportional difference in group size.

Effect of a Smartphone App (S-Check) on Actual and Intended Help-Seeking and Motivation to Change Methamphetamine Use Among Adult Consumers of Methamphetamine in Australia: Randomized Waitlist-Controlled Trial

The S-Check app incorporates principles of efficacious behavioral change models [25,26] to reinforce engagement and positive change by encouraging S-Check app users to attend to messages; requesting further inputs from app users; and motivating app users toward change. The S-Check app was piloted with 10 consumers and found to be acceptable and usable by participants [27].

Skill Enactment Among University Students Using a Brief Video-Based Mental Health Intervention: Mixed Methods Study Within a Randomized Controlled Trial

Although strategies such as the use of reminders, coaching, and engagement facilitation interventions offer the potential to redress suboptimal levels of engagement [19-21], their effectiveness has so far been variable, and a recent systematic review concluded that more research is needed to ensure that engagement strategies are effective and acceptable for end users [22].

Email-Based Recruitment Into the Health eHeart Study: Cohort Analysis of Invited Eligible Patients

Digital research studies delivered through a web portal (web-based) or smartphone app (app-based) aim to harness the capabilities and ubiquity of the internet, smartphones, and sensor devices to improve recruitment, engagement, and data collection over time [1-5]. Digital health studies can eliminate structural barriers to participation, provide more accessible support and feedback to participants, and allow for the efficient collection of frequent and real-time health data [2-5].

Assessing Message Deployment During Public Health Emergencies Through Social Media: Empirical Test of Optimizing Content for Effective Dissemination

Assessing Message Deployment During Public Health Emergencies Through Social Media: Empirical Test of Optimizing Content for Effective Dissemination

We developed a measure of the continuum of viewing experience measures to assess audience engagement and test the RMTS approach. This allowed us to assess differences in user engagement related to 3 content-agnostic metrics: aspect ratio, video length, and subtitle use across different audience types.

Dissemination Strategies for mHealth Apps: Systematic Review

Dissemination Strategies for mHealth Apps: Systematic Review

Push notifications and weekly SMS text messages inviting check-in were also used to influence user engagement [26], herein defined by number of check-ins. This is also consistent with the findings from a systematic review [34] that assessed 15 commercial apps for diabetes prevention and found that the app that included the notification features for activity tips, goal progress tips, goals adjustment, and completed goals had the highest engagement mean score (4.5 points out of 5).
