  5. In order to keep track of recruitment sources, add a field to your landing page.
  • This field should be a text box named “src”.
  • It should have the following Action Tags / Field Annotation: @HIDDEN-SURVEY @READONLY
  • Then add &src=“initials”, and replace “initials” with initials representing each recruitment source.
  • For example, the link https://redcap.icts.uiowa.edu/redcap/surveys/?s=999999&src=rm is appended with &src=rm to represent recruitment from ResearchMatch.

1.1 Filters

ResearchMatch Sincerity Filter:

The Sincerity Filter was designed to assist the research in selecting volunteers to message about your study. This filter is optional to use, but when applied will exclude volunteers that ResearchMatch believes to exhibit indicators of insincere intent from your recruitment search (e.g., implausible or inconsistent profile information). This filter aims to promote reliable recruitment and quality research from ResearchMatch participants. To use this filter, you need to add it as a feature when setting up the study.
