On university campuses, shared living and learning spaces create opportunity for influenza and influenza-like illness (ILI) to spread rapidly among students, resulting in significant effects on academic performance, absences from work and class, as well as increased antibiotic use and burden on university student health centers. Despite the heightened risk of influenza within this population, vaccination rates among university students continue to be low. Surveillance data contribute essential guidance in the development and implementation of influenza prevention and control programs. The current surveillance system has several challenges including a reporting lag, which may prevent timely detection of early outbreak signs, and underrepresentation of milder cases of ILI. The purpose of this dissertation is the development, pilot implementation, and evaluation of a smartphone app for surveillance and intervention research, as informed by the Health Belief Model. Findings of this research suggest that vaccination rates on university campuses may be higher than previously estimated, although still well below levels essential for the support of herd immunity within the population. Results suggest opportunities for stimulation of behavior change in this population. OutSmart Flu introduced a novel use of the smartphone app, which allowed for the capture of salient cues to action, and the characterization of important barriers and benefits influential to the vaccination decision within this population. No statistically significant difference in signal was found between OutSmart Flu surveillance data and that of established surveillance systems. Timing and characteristics of the 2013-14 influenza seasons did not present opportunity for practical evaluation of OutSmart Flu potential for outbreak detection. More research is needed to determine the potential for a smartphone app to be used successfully for ILI surveillance in a university setting. Purposeful incorporation of smartphones for surveillance, research, and public health interventions can be useful on university campuses; however, theoretical foundations and alignment with established public health goals are essential for the success of these initiatives.
