Study Specific Data Collection Website

The data collection feature allows researchers to collect research data via the internet. After you click the Launch Study button, the system will take a short amount of time to establish the website and data collection forms. The web address (URL) can be found on the Launch page, after a study is launched a message containing a hyperlink to the study data collection website can be found at the top of the page. You may navigate to the study data collection website by either clicking this link or typing in the web address directly into an internet browser.

This web address (URL) can be given to study participants so that they may access the study website.

The first page of the website will welcome participants to the study with any text entered into the Welcome dialog box on Basic Set-up. Participants will be able to proceed by clicking on the Start button.

If a participant has already begun the study or if a researcher has registered them from within the Administration tab, they must first enter their login and password before clicking Start on the welcome page. They will then be navigated to their next assigned assessment or the page where they stopped in the study instruments.

For first-time users, if consent forms were included in the study, these will appear next. There may be up to three consent pages, depending on how many forms were included. The next set of screens will include registration questions, if applicable. Again, depending upon which registration questions were included in the study, up to three pages may appear. Finally, an instruction screen will appear with the participant’s login and password. The login which appears on this page is a randomly generated 5-digit number and the password is a randomly generated combination of three letters.

Participants are advised to write these down so that they may access the study again if they do not finish the assessment in one sitting or if there are more than one assessment.

If you wish to set a participant’s login and password, a researcher can register him or her through the researcher interface.
