In recent years, remote technology-based research has rapidly increased in popularity and offers several advantages.
However, this approach also carries the risk of disingenuous responses, posing a real threat to data integrity.
Alexandra Terrill, associate professor, Departments of Occupational & Recreational Therapies and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of Utah, led an April 4 MAP Academy methodology presentation that outlined real-world examples of scammers across a range of study design types.
She also offered guidance for identifying, addressing and preventing these issues.
Video of Terrill’s presentation, “Protecting Data Integrity: The Pervasive Challenge of Scammers in Remote Technology-based Research,” is now available.
