Three items from the original Digital Interventions Barriers Scale-7 were omitted, given that students were not asked to download the app during this phase of the study. The omitted items were (1) I had technical problems with my technology (eg, device, internet, and platform), (2) I forgot to use the app, and (3) The app didn’t seem to be helping me.
