Pilot Study Success!


We did our pilot study this morning-dragged our poor volunteers out of bed at 7:30 A.M., but at least we fed them breakfast for their kindness. The pilot study consisted of 9 volunteers and took about two hours to complete. We are so thankful that they were willing to put up with the glitches we found so that our future sessions will go much more smoothly.



I took a few pictures this morning so people can see what we are doing (I won't take any pictures at any other sessions, but these volunteers were great and said they wouldn't mind). As you can see, each person has their own computer and there isn't any talking between participants. It's really like taking an online survey, because everything is typed directly into the system. Most are short quick questions, but some require more thought and time since we really want as much detail as a person is willing to give. It's a painless process and really interesting, so if you are interested please let me know. We haven't filled all of our May slots yet and could use some great volunteers like we had this morning! And, you won't just get food, but you'll also get a $25 gift card!
