Types of Measurement Events

Measurement Types are sometimes referred to as measurement "instruments" because they measure knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs in a survey, observations in observational research, or the effects of a treatment in an experiment or clinical trial. There are twelve types of measurements available in ProtoGenie, as follows:

1. Checkbox
2. Drop-down Menu
3. Fill in the blanks
4. List Box
5. Matching
6. Multiple Choice
7. Ranking
8. Rating Scale
9. Short Answer
10. Slider Bar
11. True-False
12. Unspecified Measurement

Note: There is one unique kind of Event, which is called a "Same-Page Stimulus & Measurement Event." This simply means that the treatment stimulus (such as a picture or text) appears on the same page as the Measurement. For details regarding this special kind of event, click here.
