Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mean scores on the Mobile Health App Usability Questionnaire | Baseline to 12 weeks | Higher scores indicate greater ease with which users can use technology to achieve a particular goal; the minimum value of this questionnaire is 1 and the maximum value is 7. |
| Total scores on the theoretical framework of acceptability questionnaire | Baseline to 12 weeks | Higher scores indicate a greater extent to which people delivering or receiving a healthcare intervention consider it to be appropriate, based on anticipated or experienced cognitive and emotional responses to the intervention; the minimum value of this questionnaire is 7 and the maximum value is 35. |
| Total scores on the Visual Analogue Scale | Baseline to 12 weeks | Percentage of doses taken our of 100%; higher numbers indicate greater medication adherence. This scale presents participants with a line, marked 0 on the left and 100 on the right, and participants can drag a marker to the place on the line that best visually indicated their adherence. |
| Total scores on Rollnick's Readiness Ruler | Baseline to 12 weeks | Higher scores on this measure indicate more motivation to take medication as prescribed; the minimum value of this questionnaire is 0 and the maximum value is 10. |
| Total Transition Readiness scores on the Successful Transition to Adulthood with Therapeutic = Rx Questionnaire | Baseline to 12 weeks | Higher scores on extent to which patients are prepared to manage their health condition as adults, outside of the pediatric system; ; the minimum value of this questionnaire is 0 and the maximum value is 90. |
