Abstract
BACKGROUND
The Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS) provides a reliable method to assess the quality of mobile health (mHealth) apps. However, training and expertise in mHealth and the relevant health field is required to administer it.
OBJECTIVE
This study describes the development and reliability testing of an end-user version of the MARS (uMARS).
METHODS
The MARS was simplified and piloted with 13 young people to create the uMARS. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the uMARS was then examined in a second sample of 164 young people participating in a randomized controlled trial of a mHealth app. App ratings were collected using the uMARS at 1-, 3,- and 6-month follow up.
RESULTS
The uMARS had excellent internal consistency (alpha = .90), with high individual alphas for all subscales. The total score and subscales had good test-retest reliability over both 1-2 months and 3 months.
CONCLUSIONS
The uMARS is a simple tool that can be reliably used by end-users to assess the quality of mHealth apps.
摘要
背景
移动应用程序评估量表（MARS）提供了一种可靠的方法来评估移动健康（mHealth）应用程序的质量。然而，需要具备 mHealth 相关专业知识和医疗领域的专业知识才能进行管理。
目的
本研究描述了移动应用程序评估量表（MARS）用户版本（uMARS）的开发和可靠性测试。
方法
对 13 名年轻人进行简化和试点，以创建 uMARS。然后，在参与 mHealth 应用程序随机对照试验的 164 名年轻人的第二组样本中，对 uMARS 的内部一致性和重测信度进行了检验。使用 uMARS 在 1、3 和 6 个月的随访中收集应用程序评分。
结果
uMARS 具有极好的内部一致性（alpha =.90），所有子量表的个体 alpha 值都很高。在 1-2 个月和 3 个月的时间里，总分和子量表的重测信度都很好。
结论
uMARS 是一种简单的工具，最终用户可以使用它可靠地评估 mHealth 应用程序的质量。
