LISTS: Longitudinal Implementation Strategy Tracking System Usability Study

Nine implementation researchers completed structured think-aloud usability sessions evaluating the Longitudinal Implementation Strategy Tracking System (LISTS) web platform. 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 score of 1.98. Qualitative analysis identified usability barriers and a tension between theoretical fidelity and accessibility for non-expert users.

Use Cases

• Evaluating digital tool usability based on structured think-aloud protocols and standardized scales mentioned in the description
• Designing implementation strategy tracking systems based on findings about terminology density and workflow ambiguity
• Studying the translation of implementation science theory into practical infrastructure based on the reported conceptual friction

Strengths

• Includes quantitative usability scores from 9 participants (SUS: 76.94, NASA-TLX: 1.98)
• Qualitative findings provide detailed insights into barriers like terminology density and hierarchical confusion
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license

Limitations

• Dataset is a 17.1 KB DOCX file containing a study report, not structured data; row count and columns are unknown
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The data is specific to a single usability study of one platform, limiting generalizability
