Usage of an App-Based Addiction Prevention Program for German Vocational Students: Secondary Analysis of Data From a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Our study supports the existing evidence that maintaining consistent usage among adolescents and young adults is a major challenge for digital interventions. An important finding was that students with higher needs for support in terms of self-efficacy, social competence, and perceived stress showed higher intervention usage. In terms of health equity, additional efforts should be made to increase intervention usage among males, those with lower levels of education, and those with higher levels of addictive behaviors.
