简要总结
This project will involve beta testing of the JomPrEP app to assess its usability and acceptability among Malaysian MSM.
详细描述
Given the evolving HIV epidemic among MSM and their challenges with accessing prevention services, we previously proposed to adapt, expand, and refine an existing app (namely the HealthMindr app) to deliver an integrated HIV prevention intervention that will promote HIV testing and linkage to PrEP and that incorporates screening and support for P/SUD for Malaysian MSM. We now plan to conduct expanded beta testing of the newly designed JomPrEP app to assess its usability and acceptability among Malaysian MSM.
Following wireframing and usability testing, Keymind (an experienced mobile app development company that has significant experience in building HIPAA-compliant apps, including HealthMindr) will apply a user interface (UI) design (i.e., colors/branding) to the interactive prototype, followed by the final development of the app (beta version). The objective of this study is to beta test this app to identify potential bugs and to ensure its usability in a real-world setting.
As part of the expanded beta testing, we will also evaluate the design, functionality, and usability of the JomPrEP app. This step is a critical stage of app development and will increase the ability of our research team to develop an acceptable and effective app.

研究组 & 干预措施
Expanded beta testing of the JomPrEP app
App usage assessments and analytics over a 1-month period.
干预措施: App usage assessments and analytics (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Usability of the JomPrEP app through the System Usability Scale
时间窗: 1 month
The Systems Usability Scale (SUS) will be used to assess the subjective usability of the app.
Usability of the JomPrEP app through app analytics
时间窗: 1 month
The investigators will collect app analytics, such as the number of log-ins to assess usability.
Usability of the JomPrEP app through interviews
时间窗: 1 month
Participants will be asked to provide qualitative feedback on functionality, performance, and errors encountered, motivation to use the app, overall experiences using the app, feedback for further refinement, and subjective impact of the app on HIV prevention outcomes.
Acceptability of the JomPrEP app through the System Usability Scale
时间窗: 1 month
Point estimates for mean acceptability ≥50 for the System Usability Scale will be considered the minimum criteria for acceptability. The higher the score, the better the outcome. Minimum score for the scale is 0, maximum score is 100.
Acceptability of the JomPrEP app through calculated proportions
时间窗: 1 month
Proportion of participants accessing the app \>0.60 will be considered the minimum criteria for acceptability.
次要结局
- Feasibility of the JomPrEP app through the System Usability Scale(1 month)
- Feasibility of the JomPrEP app through calculated proportions(1 month)
