LISTS: Usability and Feasibility Study for an Implementation Strategy Tracking System

Nine implementation researchers completed structured think-aloud usability sessions for the Longitudinal Implementation Strategy Tracking System (LISTS). The study, authored by James L. Merle and last updated in May 2026, reports a mean System Usability Scale score of 76.94 and a low NASA Task Load Index workload of 1.98 on a 1–7 scale. Qualitative analysis revealed usability barriers and a tension between theoretical fidelity and accessibility.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the usability of digital research tools based on structured think-aloud protocols.
• Analyzing tensions between theoretical fidelity and user accessibility in implementation science software.
• Benchmarking system usability scores and task load metrics for similar web-based research platforms.

Strengths

• Includes quantitative usability scores from 9 participants, with a mean SUS score of 76.94.
• Provides qualitative findings from a hybrid deductive-inductive thematic analysis of think-aloud sessions.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and adaptation.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 20.6 KB DOCX file, which is a very small document and likely contains only the study manuscript, not raw data.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment for direct data analysis.
• The description does not specify the raw data (e.g., transcripts, survey responses), only the study results.
