Hello Everyone,
I am a public health & autism researcher at Indiana University Bloomington who is seeking research volunteers for a study examining the efficacy of gamified physical activity-promoting mobile apps on increasing physical activity and reducing anxiety among adults with autism spectrum diagnoses (ASD) (IRB approved 1807483245).
* You may be eligible to participate if you
(1) have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder by a medical professional,
(2) have been diagnosed with a co-occurring anxiety disorder or self-identified as having anxiety symptoms,
(3) are aged between 18 and 60 years,
(4) have regular access to a smartphone (Android phones & iPhones 6 or above/newer models),
(5) are able to ambulate without an assistive device (ex: wheelchair, crutches, etc.), and
(6) are living in the United States and have no move out plan for the next 3 months.
* If you participate in this study, you will be asked to
(1) wear a motion sensor to measure physical activity for 7 days over 3 different data collection periods; in total 15~21 days (study materials will be mailed to your home),
(2) complete anxiety and physical activity surveys.
(3) install and utilize a physical activity-promoting mobile app and a smartphone usage analysis app, and
(4) return the study materials to the research team by the end of the study participation.
* You will receive a gift card valued at $100 after completing a 2-month study participation.
