How to Create Treatment Events

To create a treatment event," click on the Create menu at the top left of the "Event Specification Table" and then "Treatment." To illustrate, select "Intervention Administrated by the subject" as the type of treatment event.

Now there should be a new event (row) in the "Event Specification Table." In the first column for this row, there should be an "T" in a circle indicating that this event is a Treatment. To its right and under "Event Type" it should say "Intervention Administrated by the subject." Under Event Label, it should say "New Intervention Administrated by the subject Treatment." To illustrate the procedure, change this label to "Medication Treatment."

In the column labeled "Variable," enter "medicationtreatment" (all one word). In the column labeled "Keywords," enter "treatment, medications." In the column labeled "Event Description," enter "The event involves the self-administration of the medication being tested in this study."

Scroll down to the "Instrument Construction Area" under the heading "Medication Treatment." Fill in the text boxes to define the treatment.

To use the "Image Stimuli" treatment event or the "Text Stimuli" treatment event to present a treatment and measurement on the same page, click here.
