| Abstract | Online survey data collection is becoming popular because it provides benefits in cost, ease of collecting and managing data, flexibility in format, and access to a diverse population. Surveys are often used for health studies such as Oregon State University’s WAVE Project, which utilizes the WavePipe system, a server enabling scientists to create studies, enroll subjects and their mobile devices, collect data from the devices and surveys and view/export data for analysis. This Master’s project presents an enhancement that lets scientists provide feedback to study subjects in response to their survey answers, thereby potentially helping to influence those subjects’ behavior. Scientists can import surveys into studies, select goal-settable questions from the surveys and allow subjects to set goals on those questions. Surveys are sent and responses collected over a period of time. The new sub-system automatically generates custom reports for each subject by aggregating survey responses with the subject’s goals. This way, scientists are not only collecting survey data, but also educating the subjects by providing feedback. An evaluation of the sub-system with a graduate student (representing the scientist side of the system) and with subjects showed that it is both usable and understandable. |
