Study Summary
Self-reports, especially for patients with chronic physical or mental diseases, are critical for disease research and drug development. Historically, it has been very difficult to collect self-reported data for long periods of time as it is an unpleasant and inconvenient task. Paper and digital surveys are the traditional way of collecting self-reports and have been around for a long time, but still suffer from lack of adherence despite the best efforts of researchers to remind and motivate individuals to fill them out. Mobile games, on the other hand, benefit from an enormous amount of human adherence. These video games can be played on a smartphone and have captured the attention of a wide variety of demographics. The investigators have used established game design principles to develop a mobile game to motivate individuals to fill out a daily survey. The purpose of this study is to determine which method of survey administration (paper, digital survey, or game- motivated survey) leads to the highest adherence rates for daily surveys.
