Study Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the usability and feasibility of incorporating a cardiovascular risk assessment tool into adolescent reproductive health and primary care visits.
Design, Setting, And Participants: We recruited 60 young women ages 13-21 years to complete the HerHeart web-tool in 2 adolescent clinics in Atlanta, GA.
Main Outcome Measures: Participants rated the tool's usability via the Website Analysis and Measurement Inventory (WAMMI, range 0-95) and their perceived 10-year and lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) on a visual analog scale (range 0-10).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of social isolation and loneliness on adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and wearable technology.
- It involved 19 participants aged 13-18 who completed surveys on various aspects of their lives, while some wore activity trackers to monitor physical and emotional health.
- Results showed successful recruitment (76%) but poor retention (38%) and variable adherence to surveys; significant correlations were found between social isolation and negative factors like lower school climate and higher levels of depression.
