A modified version of the Usefulness, Satisfaction and Ease of use questionnaire (USE; Lund, 2001) was used, particularly regarding the participants' relationships with the peer network. The USE questionnaire is a 19 item measure of usability with 4 subscales: Usefulness, Ease of Learning, Ease of Use, and Satisfaction. The items are rated on 7 point Likert rating scales, with 1 = Strongly disagree to 7 = Strongly agree. Lund, A.M., 2001. Measuring Usability with the USE Questionnaire.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 4 and Week 8

The SUS questionnaire is a 10 item measure that assesses usability, acceptability and satisfaction; each item has five response options for respondents, from 1 = Strongly disagree to 5 = Strongly agree. The participant's scores for each question are converted to a new number, added together and then multiplied by 2.5 to convert the original scores of 0-40 to 0-100. Specifically, for odd items: subtract one from the user response. For even-numbered items: subtract the user responses from 5. This scales all values from 0 to 4 (with four being the most positive response). Add up the converted responses for each user and multiply that total by 2.5. This converts the range of possible values from 0 to 100 instead of from 0 to 40. A SUS score above a 68 would be considered above average and anything below 68 is below average.
