Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Engagement (Aim 1) - daily and weekly response rates

Engagement will be evaluated by daily and weekly response rates. A response rate of ≥60% to daily prompts (e.g., ≥4 days per week) will be considered acceptable engagement.

Time frame
Up to 3 months
2

Engagement (Aim 1) - uninterrupted participation

Engagement will be evaluated by the duration (number of days) of uninterrupted participation (e.g., consecutive response to daily prompts with missed days).

Time frame
Up to 3 months
3

Engagement (Aim 1) - complete symptom data

Engagement will be evaluated by the proportion of days with complete symptom data entered by participants.

Time frame
Up to 3 months
4

Acceptability (Aim 1) - CSQ-8

Acceptability will be measured using a post study survey: Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8). The CSQ-8 is a self-report questionnaire used to measure general client satisfaction. It consists of 8 questions answered on a 4-point scale (e.g., quite dissatisfied, mildly dissatisfied, mostly satisfied, very satisfied). Total scores range from 8 to 32 with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction.

Time frame
Up to 3 months
