DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A central aspect of any research project is data collection, and within the clinical, behavioral, and social fields of study, data collection is traditionally carried out in-person, by telephone, or through the mail and often involves research participants completing one or more survey questionnaires via paper-and-pencil forms. Recent technology advances have yielded numerous online data collection systems (DCS) that are capable of automating the data collection process via web and mobile applications. As a result, online methods have become increasingly prevalent and evidence indicates online data collection offers significant advantages over traditional methods. Unfortunately, however, none of the current DCS offer developmentally appropriate tools specifically for collecting survey responses with children. Rather than apply the same online data collection formula for adults to children, the proposed child-centric DCS will be the first online DCS to provide a selection of developmentally appropriate game-like user interfaces (UI) with built in accessibility tools (e.g., text-to- speech questions and response choices with audio controls) to maximize both engagement and usability for children. Completion of this SBIR project will reinforce 3C's position as a leader in the provision of innovative technology products for researchers and place 3C at a marked competitive advantage. This Phase I project will accomplish three specific aims: 1) create prototypes for the website user interface (UI) for researchers to implement and monitor data collection with children and two game-like UIs for collecting survey data with children (ages 6-12), including built in accessibility tools; 2) conduct testing with children to assess engagement, usability, and feasibility; and 3) conduct testing with researchers to assess value, innovation, feasibility, usability, and quality. We expect this project to demonstrate strong support for the proposed child- centric DCS. Findings will be used to generate the Phase II full development plan, including all needed revisions and additions. This project will yield an affordable, easy-to-use product that can be broadly applied in the service of research. By facilitating the collection of high quality data in research with children, we hope the proposed product will support translation of research findings into clinical practice, so health outcomes fo children can be enhanced.

描述（由申请人提供）：任何研究项目的一个核心方面都是数据收集，在临床、行为和社会研究领域，数据收集传统上是亲自、通过电话或通过邮件进行的，并且经常进行涉及研究参与者通过纸笔表格完成一份或多份调查问卷。最近的技术进步已经产生了许多在线数据收集系统（DCS），这些系统能够通过网络和移动应用程序实现数据收集过程的自动化。因此，在线方法变得越来越普遍，并且有证据表明在线数据收集比传统方法具有显着的优势。然而不幸的是，目前的 DCS 都没有提供适合发育的工具，专门用于收集儿童的调查回复。拟议的以儿童为中心的 DCS 不是将相同的在线数据收集公式应用于成人和儿童，而是第一个提供一系列适合发展的游戏式用户界面 (UI) 的在线 DCS，并带有内置的辅助工具（例如， 文本到语音的问题和带有音频控制的回答选择），以最大限度地提高儿童的参与度和可用性。该SBIR项目的完成将巩固3C作为为研究人员提供创新技术产品的领导者地位，并使3C处于显着的竞争优势。该第一阶段项目将实现三个具体目标：1）为研究人员创建网站用户界面（UI）原型，以实施和监控儿童数据收集，以及两个用于收集儿童（6-12 岁）调查数据的类似游戏的 UI ，包括内置辅助工具； 2) 对儿童进行测试，以评估参与度、可用性和可行性； 3) 与研究人员一起进行测试，以评估价值、创新、可行性、可用性和质量。我们期望该项目能够证明对拟议的以儿童为中心的 DCS 的大力支持。调查结果将用于生成第二阶段的完整开发计划，包括所有需要的修订和补充。该项目将产生一种价格实惠、易于使用的产品，可广泛应用于研究服务。通过促进儿童研究中高质量数据的收集，我们希望拟议的产品能够支持将研究结果转化为临床实践，从而改善儿童的健康结果。
