1. Access the Database:

   1. To Access the Lab Database on Filemaker: Please use the lab computers to open the database on FileMaker. Note that we are currently only using email to recruit participants.

   2. To Access the Ripple Database: Please see the Ripple recruitment page on the lab manual here.

2. BEFORE sending out a recruitment email, double-check previous studies run on the child, the child's age, and the age ranges for our current studies. 

   1. ​This is so we do not send out a recruitment email to a parent whose child has already completed all the studies they are eligible for.

3. Send out recruitment emails with the "New PAID Studies" email or the "UCI Child Collaborative" email depending on which database you are recruiting from.

After the parent has signed up for an appointment, do the following:​

1. Send out Confirmation Emails: Send out a confirmation email with a zoom link to the scheduled appointment time. Cc the RA who will be running the study (even if it is you).

2. Send out Docusign Forms: Every time you send out the Docusign form, you will need to edit the fields in order to send the form to the parent's email and the experimenter RAs emails.

   1. Parental Consent Form (DocuSign)​: ALWAYS 

   2. Demographics Form (DocuSign): ALWAYS

   3. Child Assent Form (Email pdf): Child 7+ yrs old

   4. Adult Consent Form (DocuSign) - for certain studies only

3. Search the databases, Google Drive, or Google Calendar to see studies previously completed by the participant and write in the Google Calendar event which studies they are still eligible for and can be run on.

4. Add the RA on duty for the appointment time to the Google Calendar event.

Please make sure you have all of the materials ready to run the study before you go on the call. Make sure to join the call AT LEAST 5 minutes before the scheduled time.

1. Download the Consent forms and Demographics forms. Move them to the server (in Online Forms inside the Study folder).

   1. An easy way to quickly locate Consent and Demographics forms (or to see if they have not been signed yet) is to log into the lab's Docusign account (SSO log in, username: dosclab, password: d0scl@b!) and search for the parent's email address (located on the google calendar event) in the "Completed" tab. ​

2. Access the Study Sheet for the study or studies you're running:
   DoSC Lab Google Drive > Running Online Studies > Study Sheet
   All study sheet spreadsheets have two sheet tabs:

   1. Participant ID Sheet​ (Use to find next Participant ID #)

   2. Counterbalancing Sheet (Use to find condition for the study)

3. Access the Study Board and fill it out:
   DoSC Lab Google Drive > Running Online Studies > Study Board

4. Open all of the measures and components of the study as needed. E.g.:​

   1. Storybook: Protocol for the condition, email with storybook ready

5. Make sure all other tabs and windows are closed or minimized. 

6. Make sure you are using a virtual background (see directions for setting up a virtual background HERE)

If there are multiple participants to be run with multiple RAs, please follow the protocol for enabling breakout rooms here.

While on the Zoom Call:

1. Introduce yourself to the parent and child!

2. Consent: Make sure you have the parental and adult consent BEFORE running the study. If the adult or you, the RA, haven't signed yet, make sure to do so before proceeding.

***If a study requires a demographics form, be sure to ask the parent to fill it out if they have not done so - however we cannot require that they fill it out, so if they prefer not to, please continue with the study.

***Make sure the parent has provided audio/video consent before proceeding.

1. Click Record (on the local computer) in Zoom, to record the call.

   1. If the participant does not consent to being recorded via Video, please ask the participant to turn their video OFF so you can record the screen.

   2. If the participant does not consent to both Video and Audio recording, please inform the Lab Manager and/or another RA on shift so you can make sure to have a coder present during the session.​

2. If running multiple studies, be sure to display the Study Board on the screen to record before anything else.

3. If the child is 7+ yrs old: Verbally assent the child, following the assent script in the script section of the lab manual.

4. At the end of the study, ask the parent if they have any questions and confirm the email that the parent wants to use for the $3 - $9 Tango gift card.

5. Once you have finished debriefing, end the meeting.

6. Fill out the Participant ID Sheet, Compensation Sheet, and send Thank You email (make sure to update the google calendar to reflect that you have done these steps)

7. Once the recording has been processed, upload the video and consent forms to the server.

8. Update the FileMaker database and Ripple database (if necessary).
