Diary Study Setup

Structured brief Has example

Collect experience over days or weeks.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Plan a diary study. Behavior or experience to capture: [BEHAVIOR]. Participants and number: [PARTICIPANTS]. Duration: [DURATION]. Tools: [TOOLS].

Design: research questions; participant criteria and onboarding session (explain tasks, test the tool, practice entry); entry prompts (what happened, when, where, what you were trying to do, what helped or got in the way, how you felt, a photo or screenshot if appropriate) kept under 3 minutes; a schedule of prompts or triggers (event-based or time-based) with reminders that are not annoying; check-in messages to keep engagement; an exit interview guide of 10 questions that uses entries as prompts; and incentives paid on a clear schedule.

Add burden management (limit entries, allow skipping), privacy rules (no photos of other people, avoid sensitive data, secure storage, consent for each media type) with local requirements [VERIFY in [JURISDICTION]], an analysis plan (coding entries, finding patterns over time), and attrition handling (recruit 20 to 30 percent extra). Provide sample prompts and a participant welcome message (120 words).
