Abstract
This paper reports on a specific Web-based self-report data collection system
that was developed for a public health research study in the United States. Our
focus is on technical outcome results and lessons learned that may be useful to
other projects requiring such a solution. The system was accessible from any
device that had a browser that supported HTML5. Report findings include: which
hardware devices, Web browsers, and operating systems were used; the rate of
survey completion; and key considerations for employing Web-based surveys in a
clinical trial setting.
