A Mobile App–Based Intervention for Depression: End-User and Expert Usability Testing Study
Overview
This study evaluates the usability of a self-guided mobile app intervention for depression through testing with individuals experiencing clinical depression, mental health professionals, and researchers. Participants completed the System Usability Scale and semistructured interviews to assess navigability and content quality. End-users rated the app highly, while experts raised concerns about content layout that were not supported by user feedback.
