Task list introduction:
|
THANK YOU for agreeing to participate in our study on WIC shopping! Allow me to introduce myself, my name is [INSERT MODERATOR NAME] and I will be the moderator for this study -- It’s nice to meet you!
As part of this study, we want you to grocery shop for WIC foods just like you would in a typical week. We are simply asking that you share your shopping experiences with us through the questions that we pose in this diary.
The diary is going to include three sections related to a grocery shopping trip where you use your WIC benefits:
You will need to complete the three diary sections in order (1. Pre-shop, 2. Shopping, and 3. Post-shop), and the next section will unlock only after you have completed the previous one.
Be sure to read through all the activities within the section before you start so you are clear what questions to answer. You can access the activities through the web browser on your smartphone anywhere that you have internet access. Your posts will only be viewed by researchers directly involved in this study.
We recommend you do a separate video for each task to avoid long upload times.
You will need to complete ALL the activities to qualify for the $50 incentive and to be eligible for a follow-up interview which comes with an additional monetary incentive. Respondents will be selected for interviews based on the quality and thoroughness of their responses to these activities.
These activities should take you approximately 45 minutes to complete before, during and after your normal grocery shopping. You do not need to take a special trip to the store, simply complete the activities around your next regular grocery shopping trip.
If you have any technical difficulty with these activities, please let us know by sending an email to support@qualzy.com
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
