论文摘要
在进行大规模的纵向研究时,有必要频繁监测参与者的合规性,以确保收集的数据具有足够高质量的质量。尽管实现高依从性的需求已得到强调,并且正在讨论有关影响依从性的激励措施和因素,但在此类研究中用于监视合规性的实际过程和工具几乎没有分享。监视参与者对多模式数据的遵守情况可能是一个乏味的过程,尤其是在只涉及少数人员的情况下。在此案例研究中,我们描述了我们开发的互动可视化系统的迭代设计,以监视合规性,并根据正在进行的研究中的需求不断变化。我们发现,利用数字介质的可视化系统均有助于监视参与者合规性的探索性任务,并支持非列置研究人员之间的异步协作。我们记录的检查参与者合规性以及可视化系统设计的要求可以帮助告知未来研究中的合规监测过程。
Frequent monitoring of participant compliance is necessary when conducting large-scale, longitudinal studies to ensure that the collected data is of sufficiently high quality. While the need for achieving high compliance has been underscored and there are discussions on incentives and factors affecting compliance, little is shared about the actual processes and tools used for monitoring compliance in such studies. Monitoring participant compliance with respect to multi-modal data can be a tedious process, especially if there are only a few personnel involved. In this case study, we describe the iterative design of an interactive visualization system we developed for monitoring compliance and refined based on changing requirements in an ongoing study. We find that the visualization system, leveraging the digital medium, both facilitates the exploratory tasks of monitoring participant compliance and supports asynchronous collaboration among non-co-located researchers. Our documented requirements for checking participant compliance as well as the design of the visualization system can help inform the compliance-monitoring process in future studies.
