Fields: Basic Set-up Page
Here is
information about the fields (features) on the Basic Set-up of
Study page.
|
|
|
Start
Date
|
The date when
your study setup will be available for participants. The default is
the date you created your study. You may modify this field to any
date you like.
NOTE:
This field is required.
|
|
End
Date
|
This is the
date your study will close and participants will no longer be able
to access the study.
The default
End Date value is one year from the default Start Date. You can
enter any date you like as long as it falls after the Start
Date.
NOTE:
This field is required.

Close Data
Collection When Sample Size Equals
|
This field
indicates the sample size you want for this study. Sample size is
based on number of participants who have registered to participate
in your study, not how many have completed the study. The default
number of participants is set to 25.
NOTE:
This field is required.
Assessment
Center tracks the number of participants who register for a study
NOT the number who actually complete all assessments.
You may wish
to use a larger number than the actual accrual you need, so that
you can get complete data, allowing for participants who withdraw
or are noncompliant.

|
Contact
Information for Participant Questions
|
Please enter
the name, email address and/or phone number of the person
designated to answer participant questions. The default is the
study creator’s email address.
What you enter
here will automatically appear on your data collection site’s home
page.
NOTE:
This field is required.

|
URL
Extension
|
This creates a
unique domain name for your study. Participants will access your
study via a web address that begins with
assessmentcenter.net/ac1/assessments/ and ends with the text
entered into this field. The default is your study’s
name.
For example,
assessmentcenter.net/ac1/assessments/painstudy1
NOTE:
This field is required.
You may want
to choose a short, easy-to-remember URL extension. It must be
unique name (not used anywhere else in Assessment
Center).
If your study
name has spaces, the spaces will by default be converted to
underscores, e.g. pain_study_1. You may want to remove the
underscores from the URL extension so that participants may more
easily type in the URL.
A URL may not begin with a number. No special characters
are
allowed.

Welcome Message
|
This field
allows you to enter the text you want participants to see when they
first access your study’s data collection website. Several text
editing tools are available, such as font style (bold, italics,
etc.) and font size.
NOTE:
This field is optional. Assessment Center will display default
welcome text which is “Welcome to” followed by the name of your
study.
 If your study includes more than one language be sure to include a welcome message for each language. 
It is
suggested that the text include the name of the study, a brief
description (who funded the study, etc.), the purpose of the study
(what’s being studied, how many participants, how many assessments
will be administered, etc.).
You may upload
an image to be included on your Welcome page. Please consult the
Assessment Center User Manual for step-by-step instructions on how
to complete the image upload process. The user manual can be
downloaded from the Assessment Center home page or the Resources
page.

Warning:
If
participants are experiencing difficulty logging into your study
website, make sure the study’s end date window is still open and
that you have not exceeded your study sample
size.| Converted from CHM to HTML with chm2web Pro 2.85 (unicode) |
