Case Study: University of Alabama at Birmingham improves confidential sensitive research interviews with Harvest Your Data's iSURVEY

University of Alabama at Birmingham secures sensitive research data with Harvest Your Data

The University of Alabama at Birmingham needed to conduct academic research involving highly sensitive health information. The challenge was to get participants to open up and answer truthfully by ensuring them their responses would be secure and confidential. The university's pre-doctoral fellow, Kristi Stringer, chose Harvest Your Data's iSURVEY software to address this challenge.

Harvest Your Data provided a solution with its iSURVEY software, which offered secure, offline data collection on tablets. This method gave participants privacy, making them more comfortable to answer honestly, and its robust security features were approved by the institutional review board. The results were that participants enjoyed the simple, novel tablet-based format, and the researcher gained the flexibility to administer surveys anywhere.
