Documentation for Researchers

This part of the documentation is targeted at researchers who want to set up a data donation project using DDM.

Overview

DDM consists of an Admin Interface and a Participation Interface.

Admin Interface

Through the Admin Interface, researchers can create and manage data donation projects. It essentially provides a website to adjust the settings of the project in general as well as the settings affecting the Participation Interface. To give a first impression of how the Admin Interface looks, you see below a screenshot of the Project Hub, the main page through which you can configure a project:

Participation Interface

The Participation Interface is directed at participants. It includes the pages that participants of a data donation study will see when taking part in a data donation project. The participation interface usually consists of four steps:

  1. A briefing page,

  2. the data donation page,

  3. a questionnaire, and

  4. a debriefing page.

Below, these steps are displayed as they will look to the participants.

The following section will take you through creating and monitoring a data donation project as well as accessing the collected data.
