Describe the data collection procedure step by step, e. g. an experiment procedure might be:
- Consent.
- Preliminary questionnaire.
- Training.
- Treatment
- Feedback questionnaire.
The procedure describes how the data was collected, whether face-to-face, by telephone, by self-administered questionnaire or website: "After entering the room subjects were read the study instructions (Annex A), then signed the consent form (Annex B)..." Provide copies, perhaps in an Annex or on a web site, of any scripts or tools used, e. g. the statement read to introduce subjects to the study. Also describe any procedure deviations, e. g. subjects who left the room or talked to a friend, and what was done.
