Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Post-Test Completion Rate
Defined as the proportion of completed post-tests compared to the overall total of 75. Retention feasibility is defined as ≥ 70% of post-test completions, or 53 completions.
System Usability Scale (SUS) Score
Assessed by the System Usability Scale (SUS), a 10-item measure rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 "Strongly Disagree" to 5 "Strongly Agree" with a total scores range of 0 to 100. A higher score represents greater usability.
Percentage of Participants Scoring ≥68 on SUS
Defined as the proportion of participants who score ≥68 on the SUS compared to the overall enrollment of 75 participants. Usability of the intervention is defined as \>70%, or 53 participants.
Secondary outcomes
Participant Screening Rate
Defined as the proportion of enrollees over the number of participants approached for study enrollment.
Participant Eligibility Rate
Defined as the proportion of enrollees over the number of participants eligible for study enrollment.
Change in Seven-Item Knowledge Scale (SIKS) Score from Baseline to Post-Test
Assessed by the Seven-Item Knowledge Scale (SIKS) which is comprised of items covering general clinical research statements. Respondents indicate whether a statement is "True," "False," or "Don't know." Scoring is based on the number of correct items (range 0-100). "Don't know" and omitted responses do not count toward the score. A score of 70 or higher indicates adequate knowledge.
Change in Attitudes to Randomized Trials Questionnaire (ARTQ) Score from Baseline to Post-Test
Assessed by the Attitudes to Randomized Trials Questionnaire (ARTQ), a 7-item measure with answers of "Yes, "No," or "Do Not Know." The first three items represent willingness to participate in a clinical trial. These items will be assigned a value of 1 for an answer of "Yes" or 0 for an answer of "No or Do Not Know" and summed to obtain overall willingness. Change = (Day 14 or Discharge score - Baseline score)/Baseline score
