Routing for UAS234

el_intro
This survey is an introduction and invitation to a new UAS project. It asks about your phone usage. It also describes a new project we are launching that includes answering questions about your activities and moods every day for one week. You might do the one week project up to three times over a one or two year period. Whether or not you have heard about similar projects before, participated in one of the similar projects we conducted while we were developing the study, or think you might or might not be interested, we appreciate your answering these few short survey questions.

In general, this study is intended to help us learn more about the health of the American population age 50 and above, and in particular, about how active people are, how much interaction they have with others, and how they feel during the day. This is a 2-year project that we hope you will be interested in joining, once you have heard more about it.

Please carefully read all about this project on the next few pages, and then we will ask you if you would like to participate. If you say yes, we will ask you to check to make sure you are able to use the project phone app, then you can get started!
description
Participants in this project will take part in three seven-day studies over a two-year period. You will also fill out a life event survey once a month (you may already be doing this).

The next few screens will provide details about what goes on during each of the three seven-day projects.
End of group of questions

description1
[[]]. For some projects, you may be asked to wear an activity monitor on your wrist that is about the size and shape of a watch. It measures how often and how intensely people move, but not their location. It is waterproof and you will wear it for the whole week without taking it off.

NOTE: due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, we temporarily suspended this part of the project. If or when we resume using the watches, we will let you know, when we contact you to schedule your first, second, or third project week.

How much time does it require? Almost none. Put it on, forget it for 7 days, and mail it back!

Compensation: Earn a total of $10 for just wearing the watch every day. If you are doing a project that does not include the GENEActiv watch, you will earn this $10 automatically.
screencnt := screencnt + 1
description2
[[]]. Download our UAS app to your Android or Apple cell phone. Every day for seven days, the app will prompt you six random times during the day to answer a few simple survey questions on your phone. You will have an eight minute window to respond to the prompt, and will be prompted once by text message if you miss the first prompt.

You will need to keep your phone with you, or within hearing distance, and be able to respond to one prompt every hour or two, every day of the project week.

How much time does it require? Answering the survey questions takes about 2 minutes per prompt, six times a day, so a total of about 12 minutes per day.

Compensation: $1 each time you answer the questions, for up to $6 per day or $42 for the week.
screencnt := screencnt + 1
description3


[[]]. Each evening, you will visit UAS.USC.edu, as you do for all UAS surveys, to answer a few questions about how you slept, how you felt and who you interacted with that day.

How much time does it require? Each end of day survey takes about 7 minutes to complete, and you do one survey each evening.

Compensation: $5 per survey which is a total of $35 for the week.
screencnt := screencnt + 1
description4
[[]]. Record a short verbal commentary about your day, two times during the week.
Two times during the week, while you are filling out the end of day survey record a brief message about your social interactions that day.

How much time does it require? One to four minutes per recording,

Compensation: $2 per recording, so another $4 for the week.
screencnt := screencnt + 1
description5
[[]]. On day 7, the survey at the end of the day will have a few more questions that ask about your week overall.

How much time does it require? The final questions take an average of 4 minutes to complete.

Compensation: another $4.

If you complete all of the activities on all seven days, you will earn a $5 bonus thank you payment, for a total of $100. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing you are contributing to an important research!

Now that you have read about what is required for this two-year project, are you interested in participating? Here is a reminder of what you are agreeing to do if you decide to participate:

Three times in the coming two years you will participate in a 7-day project.

Each 7-day project includes:
  • Answering prompts from the phone app six times every day. Your work / life schedule must allow you to spend 2 minutes answering survey questions, at six random times every day of your scheduled week. Each time the phone prompts you, you will have eight minutes to respond.
  • Log into your UAS page each evening to complete a short survey
  • Two days out of the week, you will be prompted to make a short recording on your phone
  • Some projects may include wearing an accelerometer watch all day every day (low maintenance: waterproof, does not need charging)
  • To earn the full $100 reward for the project, you will complete all of these tasks every day, and return the accelerometer at the end of the week.
If you say yes, the next step will be to verify that you can download and use the UAS EMA app on your phone, then we can find a time when you are available to start your first seven-day project.

2 No, I prefer not to participate

Thank you for your willingness to consider participating in our study! Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.

How does it work? If you decide to join this study, we will verify that you can download and use the EMA app on your phone and ask you to verify your address. We will contact you via email about scheduling your 7-day project, and give you more information about the specifics of the project and how it will be completed.

How will I know if I am supposed to wear the activity tracker watch? When we contact you to schedule your first seven-day project, we will let you know whether wearing the watch is part of the current project. If it is, we will Fe-Ex a package that includes an overall explanation of the study, the GENEActiv watch, and a guide that will explain in details what to do for the week.

What exactly does the activity tracker watch measure? The device is an "accelerometer", which is worn like a wristwatch, simply measures movement, and privately stores that information in the device itself. It does not track your locations and transmit anything to us or anyone else. When you send the device back to us, we will be able to read the information from it. If you were to lose the device or it was stolen, there is nothing that would connect the information recorded in the device to you personally. It is completely safe, and most users find it comfortable to wear.

Do I have to download something to my phone? Is it safe? Yes. We have created a simple phone app, which has been approved for use by Android phones and Apple iPhones. Android users download the app from Google Play Store and iPhone users from the Apple store (simply type "UAS EMA" in the search and download it). When the project is over, you can remove the app from your phone.

How does it work to respond to prompts during the day? The phone app will prompt you at six random times during each day. The app will ask you for a seven-hour time window between 9 am and 9 pm when it is okay to beep or buzz to notify you. Each time it beeps, you will answer a series of short questions in the app. You will have about eight minutes to respond to the beep to start answering the questions.

If you don't respond, or if you can't connect, the app will send you a text message once more to remind you. You can silence the beeps if necessary and we of course do not want you to respond if doing so will jeopardize you in any way, e.g. while driving.

Most participants find that they are able to manage to answer most or all of the prompts quite easily. However, if you are not allowed, or not able, to use your phone during the day you won’t be able to complete most of the project activities as required by the study. So, please think about this carefully before you decide to participate.

If you have any other questions about the study before you decide, please give us a call at 855-872-8673 or send an email to the UAS helpdesk: UAShelp@usc.edu
