Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This novel AR intervention will be demonstrated via a recorded video of the primary investigator accessing the AR poster via Zappar. The participants will not use the AR intervention themselves as part of our study. The content covered during the demonstration will be purely how to access the educational content. Video will normally be displayed via Zoom call, but in the case of an audio only interview, a link to an online video of the demonstration will be provided.

A preliminary questionnaire will be available to complete prior to interviews. Preliminary interview is expected to take 20 minutes, 25 minutes if questionnaire completion required, demonstration is expected to take less than 5 minutes, followed by a post test interview of approximately 30 minutes, including verbally running through the follow up questionnaire.

All interviews will be conducted remotely, either via Zoom call or telephone.

All interviews will be conducted by the primary investigator.

Statistical methods / analysis
Kim, Sefcik and Bradway (2017) indicated smaller sample sizes (11-20) were suitable for Qualitative Descriptive research, especially when the primary data collection tool are interviews. When Hennink, Kaiser and Marconi (2017) analysed transcripts of semi-structured interviews, researchers found that 91% of the codes were identified by the sixth interview.

Transcripts developed from processing audio recordings will be coded using the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability/Theoretical Domains Framework and the System Usability Scale. Coding will occur by two independent researchers, using NViVo software, with results reported through narrative synthesis. Quantitative data will be pooled together for means, standard deviations and ranges. Qualitative data will be coded to organize the texts into themes, to help the researchers to identify barriers or enablers for this intervention.

Summary
Brief summary
Study Purpose: to understand the general publics opinion of delivering health information using augmented reality, and any factors that improve/reduce its perceived effectiveness.

Description: we will demonstrate health education delivered via an app called Zappar, which works with an AR poster we developed with adolescents. Our study involves interviews designed to understand peoples opinions on digital education, including our intervention in particular, and learn the perceived strengths and weaknesses of our intervention.

Study Hypothesis: Education via AR interventions are an acceptable alternative to adolescents
