We are launching an upcoming UAS research project that focuses on how different kinds of activities affect the mood and wellbeing of individuals throughout the day. In this survey, we will describe what is involved in joining the project, how much you would earn if you decide to join the project, and then ask if you would be interested in participating. You will earn $1 for reading about the project and deciding whether or not to participate.

You recently told us that you spend time assisting a family member or close friend with basic personal activities because they are unable to handle them without help.
By that we mean that you assist someone like a parent, grandparent, wife, husband, adult or minor child with special needs, other family member, neighbor or close friend, with daily activities such as dressing, eating, bathing, paying bills, managing medication, food preparation, grocery shopping, doctor visits, emotional support, driving, or other types of personal assistance.

In general, this study is intended to help us learn more about how different kinds of activities affect the mood and wellbeing of individuals throughout the day. In particular, how active people are, how much interaction they have with others, and how they feel during the day.
This project is similar to another project that you are doing. If you also decide to participate in this project, you will answer questions on your phone, six times a day, every day for seven days. However, there is no online survey to fill out every evening, you will just answer the phone questions each day. We will make sure that you aren’t scheduled for both projects at the same time.
As in the other project, you will use our UAS EMA app on 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 less than 2 minutes per prompt, six times a day, so a total of less than 12 minutes per day.
Compensation: $2 each time you answer the questions, for up to $12 per day or $84 for the week.

Now that you have read about what is required for this short project, are you interested in participating? Here is a reminder of what you are agreeing to do if you decide to participate:
You will have the opportunity to participate during one of the project weeks scheduled over the next few months.
You will answer questions six times a day for seven days. You will be able to set a window of time during the day, when you will be prompted to answer the questions, for example, between 9am and 5pm. Then, six times during that window each day, your phone will notify you that a survey is ready.
Each time the phone prompts you, you will have eight minutes to respond. We will remind you with a text message after 4 minutes. If you miss one, you will just do the next one. We will pay you for every prompt that you can answer.
There are 15 questions to answer during each prompt. They will ask you to quickly check in about how you are feeling and what you were doing (e.g. working, caregiving, preparing food, interacting with other people, etc.) right before your phone prompted you to respond.
Many people find that they are able to manage to answer most or all of the prompts quite easily. HOWEVER, if your work or your duties will not allow you to stop what you are doing to answer questions on your phone during the day, that is fine! But this project may not be for you. Please think about your availability before you decide to participate.

Thank you for your willingness to consider participating in our study! Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.
Q: Do I have to download something to my phone? Is it safe?
A: Yes, we have created our own safe and simple phone app, which has been approved for use by Android and Apple phones. 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 7 days are over, you can remove the app from your phone.
Q: What exactly will I be doing?
A: If you decide to join this study, you will first need to verify that you can download and use the UAS EMA app on your phone. If you can, then we will contact you via email about scheduling the project week , and send you a user guide for using the phone app. Then, on the first day of the project, you log into the app using your UAS number and password.
The app will ask you to set a time window between 9am and 9pm when it is okay to beep, or buzz to notify you. Then, at six random times during that window, you will answer the questions in the app. You will have eight minutes to respond to the beep to start answering the questions.
Q: What if I can’t respond to every prompt during the day?
A: We are asking you to only participate in the study if you think you will be able to answer most of the prompts each day. Of course we do not want you to answer if you are driving, or any time when it is not safe. To make sure you don’t miss a prompt, you should keep the phone nearby during the day. If you don’t respond, or if you can’t connect, the app will send you a text message once more to remind you.
Most participants find that they are able to manage to answer the prompts quite easily. If you miss one or two, that is okay. We will pay you $2 each time you answer and fill out the questions.
HOWEVER, if your work or your duties will not allow you to answer most or all of the beeps during the day, then that is fine, this project may not be for you. Please think about your availability 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

Thank you, we are happy that you are interested in our project! Next step is to make sure that the app works with your phone.
First of all, please get your Apple or Android phone if you don’t have it with you now. If you have both an Apple and an Android phone, please get the one that you use or keep with you most often.
If you are taking this survey on your phone, that is okay, but be sure to come back to this page when you are done downloading the app, and finish the survey.
Search for the "UAS EMA" app from the Google Play Store (for Android phones) or the Apple Store (for Apple iPhones). Make sure you put a space between UAS and EMA when you are searching.
Once you find it, click on it to install it on your phone right now. You can log in.
Then, please finish filling out this survey.
If you are using your phone to take this survey, you don't need to log out. When you come back to this screen, you should be able to continue the survey.
Click "Next" to continue. Note that you will not be able to do anything with the app right now, we just need to verify that you can download it and log in.
