¡Iniciando! Mobile App for Latino Youth with ASD
This study is testing a mobile app called ¡Iniciando! to help Latino young adults (ages 18-25) with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families navigate the transition to adulthood. The researchers want to see how easy the app is to use, if people are happy with it, and how much they use it. They also want to understand if the app can help improve mental health, quality of life, and daily living skills for these young adults and their parents. You may be able to join if you are a Latino young adult with an ASD diagnosis and meet specific criteria. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status, but plans to enroll 30 participants. Success in this study means understanding how well the app works and how feasible it is to use.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 30 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- Participants will attend 12 weekly, 1-hour virtual group sessions (separate for young adults and parents) and weekly, 30-minute individual virtual coaching sessions for young adults. Participants will also engage with the ¡Iniciando! app.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up

- Time taken for recruitment of participantsend of study (about 3 months after baseline)
- Number of participants that completed the studyend of study (about 3 months after baseline)
- Usability as measured by the User Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale (uMARS)end of study (about 3 months after baseline)
This is a 20 item questionnaire and each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, scores range from 1(inadequate) to 5(excellent) with higher scores indicating better usability.
- Usability as Measured by the System Usability Scale (SUS)end of study (about 3 months after baseline)
The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a validated 10-item questionnaire . Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). Scores are converted to a total SUS score ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better usability. A score above 68 is generally considered above average usability.
