randomization in REDCap - Social Distancing Task

[Anne Morris]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to determine if there is a way to replicate functionality seen in Qualtrics, but using REDCap.  This task requires a person type in 6 first names of individuals of varying closeness to the individual (i.e. person 1 = closest relationship; person 6=like a stranger).

Then the individual is presented with follow up items that pipe in names randomly.

Can this be done using REDCap? I've done some searching already and played with trying to get this to work, but haven't been successful so I am turning to this group.

Thanks for any help!

Anne

How complicated do you need it to be? How many names per page? Can the names repeat?

I'll paste the CSV of the data dictionary here. it should be a good start to solving your problem. Paste this into a text file and save it as a CSV and upload to test it in your local REDCap. It uses the current time to generate a "random" number.
