However, capturing high-quality survey data is an arduous process for large-scale and longitudinal interventional studies. There are some challenges from the aspect of survey takers and the survey givers. From the perspective of survey takers, it is difficult to navigate back and forth in an efficient way as longitudinal studies usually consist of surveys that will be 10 pages or longer. In the other hand, it is critical for survey giver to keep track of progress for each survey participants during a longitudinal interventional study. Unlike the one-time survey, interventional studies consist of particular workflow and are highly related to the progress of participants in such studies. Flexible workflow design and reliable participants' progress tracking functionality are required. The main contribution of this thesis is an interface-driven system called REForm: Refactorized Electronic Web Forms. REForm provides researchers the capability to design and manage surveys and to organize them in a customizable workflow. REForm also provides a powerful participants management system for adding, deleting or emailing participants in batches. In order to support large-scale interventional studies, a team managing system is also implemented, which enables researchers to assign privileges to other system users as team members to help with management of studies. Furthermore, a flexible and efficient navigation system is designed to enhance survey takers' user experience. An NCI-funded interventional study called IMPACT has been designed, pilot-tested and deployed utilizing REForm. REForm provides IMPACT the capability to build a baseline survey with 95 questions and 662 options, a post-intervention survey with 82 questions and 574 options, six Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) surveys while each one consists of four questions with 26 options, and a follow-up survey containing 15 questions along with 125 options. To evaluate our system, we also embed feedback questions as a part of the post-intervention survey. More than 94 percent of IMPACT participants highly endorse the design and usability of REForm. 2017-08-30 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1496839127238529 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1496839127238529 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
