SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Assessed at baseline and end of 3-week trial period

We adapted scales to measure mechanisms affecting data collection, including intentions, using social psychology methods (Armitage \& Connor, 2001). The intentions measure had one item, which was rated from 1=strongly disagree to 7=strongly agree. Strongly agree meant stronger intentions to take data. Aides completed measures at baseline and post-trial (3 weeks). Data reported are changes over time.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Three-week trial period

We used the System Usability Scale (SUS; Brooke, 1996) to measure aides' reactions to various statements regarding the app's usability with 10 items that use a 5-point scale from (1) strongly disagree to (5) strongly agree. The SUS has high internal consistent reliability (Cronbach's alpha = .91) and demonstrated sensitivity to change (Lewis, 2018). We adapted the original questionnaire to replace "system" with "app" across all items. The SUS is calculated as a proportion score out of 100, with higher scores indicating higher usability (≥85 = Excellent; ≥71 = Good; ≥51 = Okay (Bangor et al.).

We adapted scales to measure mechanisms affecting data collection, including attitudes, using social psychology methods (Armitage \& Connor, 2001). The attitudes measure had one item, which was rated from 1=good to 7=bad (meaning that taking data would be bad). Attitudes had 2 items. These items were averaged to create the scale score which could range from 1 to 7 for each measure. Aides completed measures at baseline and post-trial (3 weeks). Data reported are changes over time.

We adapted scales to measure mechanisms affecting data collection, including perceived norms, using social psychology methods (Armitage \& Connor, 2001). The perceived norms measure had one item, which was rated from 1=strongly disagree to 7=strongly agree. Strongly agree meant stronger influence of norms on taking data. Aides completed measures at baseline and post-trial (3 weeks). Data reported are changes over time.

We adapted scales to measure mechanisms affecting data collection, including descriptive norms, using social psychology methods (Armitage \& Connor, 2001). The perceived norms measure had one item, which was rated from 1=strongly disagree to 7=strongly agree. Strongly agree meant stronger influence of norms on taking data. Aides completed measures at baseline and post-trial (3 weeks). Data reported are changes over time.

We adapted scales to measure mechanisms affecting data collection, including self-efficacy, using social psychology methods (Armitage \& Connor, 2001). The self-efficacy measure had one item, which was rated from 1=strongly disagree to 7=strongly agree. Strongly agree meant stronger self-efficacy about taking data. Self-Efficacy had 2 items. These items were averaged to create the scale score which could range from 1 to 7 for each measure. Aides completed measures at baseline and post-trial (3 weeks).
