Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Acceptability/Usability

The study evaluates an app's impact through post-intervention interviews, focusing on user experience, ethical concerns, and future usage intentions. It explores burden, satisfaction, attitudes, and how the app influences communication and adherence. Sekhon's Theoretical Framework of Acceptability will be utilized to measure this outcome.

Time frame
1 month, 3 months, and 6 months
2

Feasibility: Communication

Communication between adolescents and young adults (AYA) and support person (i.e., Experience using chat features; Experience using forums). A modified version of Structured Assessment of FEasibility (SAFE) will be utilized to measure this outcome.

Time frame
1 month, 3 months, and 6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Medication Adherence Tracker

This will be measured by analyzing the percent of dates with data entered into the medication tracker and correlating that data with reasons why participants did not take their medication (when applicable)

Time frame
1 month, 3 months, and 6 months
2

Data Usage

This will be measured by comparing the amount of time (minutes) spent using distinct features of the app (e.g. forums, educational resources, avatars, side effect trackers, chat features)

Time frame
1 month, 3 months, and 6 months
