ATTACHMENT 4D: MESSAGES, SCREENSHOTS, NOTIFICATIONS, AND INVITATIONS FOR APP-BASED SURVEY

Notifications: Point of Sale Intervention for Tobacco Evaluation (POSITEv)



App Store Description/Information:

Only participants of the POSITEv research study who have been provided with a user ID and password will be able to log into the app. The app was developed by a company that develops apps to research health and behavior. If you choose to download the smartphone application (or app), it will use your phone’s location services to record the time, date, and your location whenever you go into and exit these kinds of stores. The app will also ask you to complete a short questionnaire (5 minutes or less) three times over the next year and a half. The app will not interact with, obtain information from, or transmit information to any of the other apps installed on the phone. Although the app will access location data from the phone, no location data will be logged except data for the mapped convenience stores. The data obtained from the app will not be used for any purpose except for analysis.
