Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Usability (10-item Game Usability Scale) | 1 time | we will ask each participant to complete a Game Usability Scale3 which is a robust and highly recommended 10-item measure of usability developed for software testing that provides a global view of subjective assessments of usability. |
| Satisfaction | 1 time | (users' subjective reactions to using the system) After the game play session, we will have participants complete an Avatar and Situation Menu Questionnaire so that participants can give feedback on 3 different avatars and 15 different coping with smoking challenges regarding how relevant each is to them as a smoker or someone trying to avoid smoking. |
