Pilot Test of a Mobile App That Helps Spanish-speakers Find Mental Health Services in the US.

The goal of this observational study is to develop and test a mobile app for Spanish speakers residing in the US who seeking drug treatment and/or behavioral health services for themselves or an associate. The main questions it aims to answer are:

What are the features and content needed on this app?

How will people use and share this app?

Will they connect with treatment services?

After receiving input from focus group participants and other community stakeholders, the app was made available and its usage was tracked to determine its long-term, broad-scale feasibility.

Treatment and study plan

Mobile application

Device

"Rumbo" is an easily shared bi-lingual application that helps Hispanic individuals with unhealthy substance use find and access treatment services and related resources. The application stands out from other eHealth tools by leveraging the collective efficacy of the Hispanic community to overcome barriers and support individuals' self-efficacy for engaging the treatment system. Rumbo's simple, user-centered design provides less-acculturated Hispanic individuals with a culturally appropriate tool to understand their needs within the complex US treatment system. Rumbo is comprised of four innovations: (1) a sharing function that facilitates its own implementation among the target population; (2) culturally responsive content and design; (3) problem identification and treatment navigation enhanced to include related resources; (4) an API that is designed for interoperability across extant technologies.

Primary outcomes

  1. System Usability Scale

    Time frame: From enrollment to the close of end-user testing after 4 weeks.

    The system usability scale (SUS) is a ten-item attitude scale giving a global view of subjective assessments of usability.
