Creating Special Guidance Events
Broadly speaking, the Support Event type called Guidance Events amounts to the investigator narrating what is going on and saying what should be done next in a study while it is in progress. This includes alerts, status reports, explanations, prompts, and instructions. Some of these events are as short as a screen that says, "Ten Minute Intermission" or as long as instructions for creating a sample for the study. Some events will occur before data collection begins and some will occur after.
The first additional guidance event provides sampling instructions and must be done BEFORE the first session starts. Like Context Specification, the sampling event must be done before the data collection begins. Therefore, the sampling event is another "preparatory event." Other support events will occur at the point a session actual begins and data collection follows.
