Deductive Analysis of Alignment with Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) constructs

Theme	Sample Participant Quote
Perceived Ease of Use
Theme 1: Easy Dashboard Function Navigation	“I found it very easy and very comprehensive. Seemed like everything that I thought to want to ask was there. And I'm not doing this all the time, but I found it exciting…to play around and find the data that you wanted. So I found it very easy.”
Theme 2: Understandable Dashboard Content	“It didn't have a lot of content heavy as far as numbers in it, so it wouldn't be hard for anybody to go in there and pull information and understand it.”
Perceived Usefulness
Theme 1: Community Planning and Mobilization	“I think this is very useful as a community member and as a CHW [Community Health Worker], especially to help implement health programs. It would be nice though if where we seen low concentrations of disparity, like what programs are they using, what access do they have, so you can implement the programs in your community.”
Theme 2: Personal Planning and Decision-Making	“As a senior, I just thought about it. People are retiring. If you look at the demographics and you're getting more baby boomers and people making decisions on where to live even, housing decisions. I think that would be very helpful because people do that often to determine where they might move, and it would be helpful for AARP, as I said before, advocacy agencies. And so it will be helpful for the community.”
Theme 3: Education Awareness and Training	“There are a lot of town halls taking place. There are associations where we need, and I think just really just communicating the status of black, you know. And this is a very opportune time. We are getting ready to get into black history month, and there are going to be forums all over the place. It will be very useful.”
Attitudes
Theme 1: Emotional Empowerment and Hope (Affective Response)	“I think that was really helpful. I think this is a really cool tool to use. I think this was really neat to see, especially seeing the comparison of how things have changed over the years.”
Theme 2: Resonance and Validation (Cognitive Response)	“As far as the Black community is concerned, I think that as others have stated, it's quite affirming and it's quite wonderful to be able to show data to back up your point of view…So rather than just having an opinion, it would be wonderful to be able to show the data that shows that discrimination is prevalent in area where others may not think it's actually there.”
Behavioral Intention
Theme 1: Personal Planning	“…And I know Denver don't have a whole lot of Black people, so that's another reason why I just wanted to look more closely at, ‘Okay, well let me see what this SRD Index is indicating about Denver specifically.’ So, that was the first thing that I did when I opened up the tool.”
Theme 2: Community Planning and Advocacy	“So I think that this could really help with advocating for change. I think that if we can use this data to pinpoint what's going on in these different cities, different regions, that along with community-based participatory research, I think we can really advocate for change in these communities, specifically using the data that we see using this index.”
Theme 3: Community Outreach, Awareness, and Support	“The biggest part of the tool that I would use, and so much so we're talking about the differences between mortgage denials, renters, evictions, those gaps and then going back and using that as a kicking point to talk about the historic obstacles and barriers that have prevented Black and brown populations from being able to close that housing gap and how we can move forward. So instead of always treating the illness, we can get back to the symptomology and figure out what the nidus of the problem is. I think the tools that would be good for me in that respect.”
