You are not eligible for the study if you:

Have not had a current, valid license to drive a taxi in this city for the past 12 months

 

Are not driving at least 30 hours per week

 

Each driver who signs up will be studied for:

• •5 separate periods 

 

Each driver who signs up will be studied for:

• •5 separate periods 

• •10 days per period 

 

All day and night for 10 days each driver who signs up will wear a device on their wrist to measure their tiredness….

 

Take off your wrist device:

When taking a bath

When sitting in a pool

When swimming

 

5 times a day for 7 days each driver will be asked to test their attention on a handheld electronic device.

 

1-2 times a week we will reach out to “check-on” each driver.

 

During the study we will not interrupt your work or tell you to stop working.

 

Here is some information to help you decide if you want to be in our study or not.

 

Wearing 1 device on your wrist all day for 10 days at a time may feel weird or annoying.

 

It is possible people with sensitive skin can get a skin rash from this device.

 

Like with any study, there is always a small risk that your data could be at risk of being exposed or lost.

 

However, we will follow a very high security standard when using your data.

 

No names will be stored with personal data; only coded ID numbers.

 

You will be given $ as a token of appreciation for participating in the study.

 

You will be given up to $200 for your time,

at $40 per data collection period (10 days),

for up to 5 separate periods…

                …as a token of our appreciation.

                       

 

If you take the 3 hour training,

you will be given $53.40 total,

at a rate of $17.80 per hour…

…as a token of our appreciation.

 

To give you the gift card, we will need to ask you to provide your study ID and sign you received it.

 

This information allows us to pay you and will not be used for any other reason.
