Welcome to the gui2delines

To collaborate with gui2de staff and faculty:

• Set up your Slack account
• Check your Zoom parameters
• Create a Github account and download Gitkraken or Github Desktop
• Create an Overleaf account (free account, no pro subscription needed)

For your coding needs and assignments, you may need: ArcGIS, Stata16, Python, R.

• Ask Béatrice to set up your surveycto account
• Ask collaborators to add you to the Google Drive (programmatic) and Box (data) folders
• Download Box Drive to sync data on your computer
• (optional) Download Google Drive for Desktop to sync programmatic folders to your computer
• (optional) Access the gui2de server if your project has folders on it

Note that Box Drive and Google Drive both do not locally download files onto your computer, unless you explicitly ask them to sync some folders for offline access. As such, they shouldn't take space on your laptop, but will allow you to collaborate by sharing file paths and file versions seamlessly.

To contribute to existing research projects:

• Set up your IRB account and complete the CITI Training
• Fill out your Financial Conflict of Interest disclosure

• Treatment arms and study design
• Enrollment plan
• Power calculations

To start a new research project:

• Create a new study in the IRB system to seek IRB approval
• Amend an existing study in the IRB system

1. Map project data and define project codebooks and documentation
2. Create a SurveyCTO
3. Prepare the data collection workplan
4. Test and pilot the survey in the field
5. Train enumerators and update survey from their feedback
6. Run High Frequency Checks during data collection
7. Run Backchecks

1. Prepare your Workplan for remote data collection
2. Adapt our template protocol to your survey needs
3. Prepare the Cases dataset (the sample to be surveyed) for online callsheet management
4. Create a SurveyCTO and rememebr to adapt your survey questions to phone data collection
5. Code the Callsheet within your SurveyCTO survey
6. Prepare training materials and train enumerators over Zoom
7. Run High Frequency Checks during data collection
8. Run Backchecks
