About this trial
The purpose of this study is to recruit approximately 20 male participants who have a history of repaired hypospadias to test the feasibility and acceptability of the Care Planning Tool within the Worldwide Yearly Screening for Hypospadias (WYSH) Web Application.

Primary outcomes
Feasibility: Participant Count to Summarize answers of the Care Planning Tool
The Care Planning Tool within the Worldwide Yearly Screening for Hypospadias (WYSH) Application is a survey containing forty-eight questions regarding possible complications for participating patients (Subsections of penile function, voiding, sexual health, social functioning, psychological health, and doctor-patient communication). These questions will be completed by patients using a five point scale - "Never," "Rarely," "Sometimes," "Often," and "Always" - to populate a Care Plan highlighting areas of concern (with a threshold of two or more metrics above a "Sometimes" response).
Acceptability: User Centered Metrics
Participating patients will complete a survey regarding the System Usability to determine ease of functionality throughout the application. This survey contains a scale for participants to graph their response from "Very Difficult" to "Very Easy" following the eleven questions of task completion. Additionally, there is a space provided for open-ended feedback.
Acceptability: Cognitive Debriefing Measures
A team from the Wisconsin Surgical Outcomes Research Program (WiSOR) will complete a Cognitive Debriefing Interview with participating patients to assist in determining validation and comprehension. This interview consists of seven open-ended questions regarding participants' thought processes to provide an insight into areas of improvement for the application. Answers will be coded and themes summarized by participant count.
Feasibility: System Usability Testing
The Center for User Experience will conduct masked System Usability Testing to provide user-based information on how to improve the online experience for young males and their caregivers and adult males. Usability will be assessed with a level of success rating from "Failure," "Success with a major issue," "Success with a minor issue," and "Complete Success," where minor or major issues and time taken are observed as the participating patient is completing the System Usability Scale.
Secondary outcomes
Provider Acceptability: Usability Scale
Participating UW Clinicians will rate the recommendations received in each care plan from patients in a separate usability scale (Provider Acceptability) to improve the ability for continuity of care. Providers will complete a survey of questions surrounding format, output, and utility from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree." Additionally, there is a space provided for feedback.
