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主要方面都是数据收集，在研究的临床，行为和社会领域中，数据收集传统上是通过电话或邮件面对面进行的，并且经常涉及通过纸笔表格完成一个或多个调查问卷的研究参与者。最近的技术进步产生了许多在线数据收集系统（DC），能够通过Web和移动应用程序自动化数据收集过程。结果，在线方法变得越来越普遍，证据表明在线数据收集比传统方法具有显着优势。但是，不幸的是，当前的DC均未提供专门用于与儿童收集调查的合适工具。拟议的以儿童为中心的DC不是为儿童应用相同的在线数据收集公式，而是第一个提供具有内置可访问性工具（例如，例如， 通过音频控件的文本到语音问题和响应选择），以最大程度地提高儿童的参与度和可用性。该SBIR项目的完成将加强3C为研究人员提供创新技术产品的领导者的地位，并以明显的竞争优势将3C放置。该阶段I项目将实现三个具体目标：1）为网站用户界面（UI）创建原型，以供研究人员使用儿童和两个类似儿童的游戏类UI来实施和监视数据收集数据，以便使用儿童收集调查数据（6-12岁），包括内置可访问性工具； 2）与儿童进行测试以评估参与度，可用性和可行性； 3）与研究人员进行测试，以评估价值，创新，可行性，可用性和质量。我们预计该项目将对拟议的以儿童为中心的DC表示强烈的支持。调查结果将用于生成II期完整开发计划，包括所有必要的修订和补充。该项目将产生可承受的易于使用的产品，可以广泛应用于研究。通过促进与儿童研究中的高质量数据收集，我们希望该产品能够支持将研究结果转化为临床实践，因此可以增强儿童的健康状况。
