Write the study once, and see it as participants will.
Questions, schedule and consent live in one place. Beside them, a phone shows each question the way a participant will meet it, at the hour it opens.
What you decide.
A study is a few questions on a schedule, the consent people agree to before anything else, and the people they can contact.
- Write questions that take a spoken answer, a written one, or either; any question can be optional.
- Schedule them daily or weekly, with an answer window and the study’s time zone.
- Write the consent text; publish a new version and ask people who agreed to an earlier one to agree again.
- Name the research-team contact and the ethics reference participants see.
Fixed once it’s live.
While a study is live its questions are locked, so everyone answers the same thing. Pause the study to change them. A new consent version asks the people who agreed to an earlier one to agree again before they answer.
Inviting people.
Paste the addresses of the people taking part. Each gets an emailed link and a code the study uses in place of their name.
- Invite people by pasting email addresses, with your own IDs if you keep them.
- Participants sign in with an emailed link: no password, no app to install.
- Each person gets a pseudonymous code (P-014); exports use codes, never names.
