The goal of this open label feasibility trial is to determine the feasibility of using a mobile continuing care app to augment community treatment for individuals under justice supervision receiving community substance use disorder treatment.
A four-week feasibility trial of the CC app with a sample individuals on probation and parole with SUDs who are receiving outpatient substance use disorder treatment will be recruited and use the app for 12 weeks during community treatment. Study participants will complete brief questionnaires at study initiation (focusing on background characteristics, treatment history, app expectations) and after the 4-week feasibility trial (focusing on their experiences with the app, usability, satisfaction, and suggestions for improvement).

app usability
Questions about usability will be asked using the System Usability Scale (SUS), one of the most widely used standardized measures to assess technology usability. Using this scale, participants are asked to provide a score for 10-items, using 5-point Likert scales, regarding: a) ease of use, and b) learnability.
Time frame: 12 weeks post baseline
Feasibility and Satisfaction Survey
Feasibility and Satisfaction Survey (FSS) that was developed and used in our prior research and will be used to assesses feasibility and satisfaction. Questions will consist of 5-point Likert scales and open-ended questions focused on: 1) program utilization \[frequency of reviewing app content\], 2) overall look, feel, and experience, 3) ease of use, and 4) app content/tools (i.e., relevance, usefulness, and engagement).
Time frame: 12-weeks post-baseline
