Participant Compliance With HeadOn ProgramPrimary· 5 weeks
Degree of engagement of study participants with the HeadOn program. This was defined as whether the participant entered data into the HeadOn functionality (including symptom diary, sleep time setting, alcohol tracker, exercise day setting, thought diary and goal setter)
The mobile Health App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ) is a validated questionnaire that examine participants' attitudes to an mHealth intervention. MAUQ quantifies respondents' perceptions of the usability of a mobile health app using a range from 1 to 7. A score of 7 indicates a high degree of usability.

The outcome was dichotomous and was either coded as 'yes' or 'no' based on participant response. The measure was then reported as a return to work rate which was the percentage of participants who reported they had returned to work at the completion of HeadOn.

Sponsor's own description
Concussion is common and patients can go on to suffer with a constellation of symptoms which impacts their functional outcome and quality of life. Patient provision with information about their concussion and subsequent follow-up is highly variable. The investigators have developed HeadOn - a web application that delivers a CBT programme to patients following concussion. In this study, the investigators would like to examine the feasibility of digitally delivering a course of CBT to patients following concussion.
