论文摘要
移动健康（MHealth）应用程序是提供行为干预措施的有力媒介，系统评价表明，基于理论的干预措施更有效。但是，通常不清楚理论概念应如何准确地转化为技术干预的特征。心理理论的抽象性质与建立健康技术所需的设计的具体性之间存在着鸿沟。在本文中，我们使用SARA是一种移动应用程序，我们开发的是支持青少年和年轻人之间的药物使用研究，作为将行为理论转化为MHealth干预设计的过程的案例研究。萨拉（Sara）旨在增加纵向流行病学研究中对每日自我报告的依从性。为了实现这一目标，我们实施了运营条件理论的许多结构。我们描述了我们的设计过程，并讨论了如何根据设计约束，用户反馈和四个形成性研究的经验数据来实施理论结构。
Mobile health (mHealth) applications are a powerful medium for providing behavioral interventions, and systematic reviews suggest that theory-based interventions are more effective. However, how exactly theoretical concepts should be translated into features of technological interventions is often not clear. There is a gulf between the abstract nature of psychological theory and the concreteness of the designs needed to build health technologies. In this paper, we use SARA, a mobile app we developed to support substance-use research among adolescents and young adults, as a case study of a process of translating behavioral theory into mHealth intervention design. SARA was designed to increase adherence to daily self-report in longitudinal epidemiological studies. To achieve this goal, we implemented a number of constructs from the operant conditioning theory. We describe our design process and discuss how we operationalized theoretical constructs in the light of design constraints, user feedback, and empirical data from four formative studies.
