Thank you for taking the time to test this survey before it is sent to medical schools around the country. Below are some testing notes to consider while you run through the study as a tester. Your feedback and support are greatly appreciated during the pre-launch phase of this thesis project! Kind regards - Laura Melendez, Graduate Student Researcher, Department of Psychology, Harvard University Extension School
Since this study was designed for Medical Students, Medical Interns/Residents, and Physician Faculty at academic medical campuses, please select any options in the demographics during this testing cycle. We are not going to use your data for the study, so we are not asking for your real details during the testing. However, you are encouraged to complete the Race Implicit Association Test (race IAT) and Attitudes Toward Implicit Bias Instrument (ATIBI) as if you are a real study participant to enhance your feedback during this testing cycle.
After you see the study Welcome page (which comes after this page and will be the main page of the final survey), you will be taken to an Eligibility Screening Questionnaire. The screener is set up to automatically check the boxes with the correct inputs to get you to the actual study. If you alter the answers, you will be taken to the Ineligible page, and will be unable to complete the study for testing.
At the bottom of every page of the study, is a feedback section for sharing any issues you see or experience while testing this survey. It's a simple form like this:
You will input your notes for the page you are testing, and then submit the feedback before moving to the next page. The feedback form reloads for each page, so please submit your feedback before moving to the next page.
PLEASE NOTE: The only page that won't be seen in the feedback form is on the actual trials of the race IAT because this test is timed and will result in an error if you take too long to answer.
Great! Now that you have reviewed the testing information above and know how to support us in testing this survey before we load it live, please click the “Continue” button below to review the real first page of the study.
