The purpose of the usability and pilot testing for the project "Developing a Bi-national
Buddy Intervention for Smoking Cessation and Cultural Education" is to better understand how
users interact with the smoking cessation app, and to improve the product based on the
results. In pilot testing the smoking cessation app the investigators will examine the
feasibility of our approach. The usability testing portion of the study is intended primarily
to improve on the design of the smoking cessation app, and will: gather quantitative data on
participant's performance, identify usability problems, and determine user satisfaction with
the app. The pilot testing portion of the study will evaluate the feasibility, time, cost and
statistical variability in an attempt to predict an appropriate sample size and improve upon
the study design prior to performance of a full-scale research study.
Objective 1:To collect quantitative data on participant's performance while using the app for
smoking cessation.
Objective 2:To identify problems with usability of the smoking cessation buddy app.
Objective 3:To assess user satisfaction with the smoking cessation buddy app. Objective 4:To
improve upon the design of the smoking cessation buddy app Objective 5:To assess the
feasibility, time, cost, and statistical variability for a full-scale implementation of this
study with the intervention group.

Tobacco use cessation among youth is not adequately addressed in the US and Russia. The
proposed intervention utilizes an innovative evidence-based approach while addressing the
shortcomings of prior individual intervention components. In this project, investigators seek
to refine a smoking cessation app by conducting two rounds of usability testing followed by a
pilot test of the final app, to access usability problems, user satisfaction, and
user-friendliness. This data will be collected in a de-identified and confidential manner,
and will then be analyzed and used to refine the final app that will later be used.
