Now that you're ready and
0:00
all of the preparations are complete, it
is time to start the study.
0:02
Here are the steps you need to take.
0:06
Launch and track.
0:08
Launch the study, start sending
notifications and
0:10
immediately track the answers.
0:13
Evaluate each participant and make sure he
or she is giving you what you need.
0:15
Adjust participant behavior, clarify.
0:21
Contact participants who do not give you
what you need or do not respond at all.
0:24
Ask them to allow you to give them help.
0:30
Troubleshoot their issues and refine their
participation.
0:33
For example, if people give you one-word
answers, explain you need to be sure
0:36
you understand what they mean and ask them
to provide longer sentences as answers.
0:42
Or if participants say they didn't receive
any notification,
0:48
try to figure out the reason.
0:52
Pat participants on the back.
0:55
Participants who cooperate fully and
0:57
provide clear useful answers should be
encouraged.
0:59
Contact them and tell them you are very
happy with their participation and
1:02
level of detail they provide in their
answers.
1:06
Be careful not to say that the answers
they gave are great.
1:09
Otherwise, you'll bias them to think this
is what you need and
1:13
they'll keep giving you the same answers.
1:17
This way, you'll miss other useful
answers.
1:20
Thank participants.
1:23
Be sure to thank participants no matter
what.
1:25
Some people will stop participating if
they think their
1:28
effort is under appreciated.
1:31
I told you, people are funny.
1:33
Begin analysis when you've collected about
5% of the expected number of responses.
1:35
This will help you fine tune the rest of
the analysis.
