Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Feasibility of the modules measured by qualitative interviews and client satisfaction questionnaire for internet-based interventions (Client Satisfaction Questionnaire: CSQ-I (Boß et al., 2016)). Participants are invited to participate in an in-depth interview. Here, questions are asked about Al Mamar, as well as barriers to use and facilitating factors for engagement and adherence. In addition, participants will be asked about usability dimensions and possible approaches for widespread implementation of the program in Germany. The questions on usability dimensions are based on the Mobile App Rating Scale in the version for users (uMARS). A subset of 3 to 8 respondents are therapists (online counselors) who are asked about their experiences and usability of the app in an in-depth interview. | — |
