Lab Manual:Recruiting
Contents
General
- Make sure you only recruit US citizens
- If you run a non-US citizen be sure to ask Erlinda what extra paperwork you need from the subject
- Be sure to have every paid subject fill out a payment form
- Be sure to record every subjects gender and ethnicity on a separate list
- If you are planning on scanning the subject see the scanning section to make sure you properly screen your subjects.
Sona
If you are recruiting young healthy subjects you should use Sona. It is an online site administered by Stanford that has a large subject pool and many convenient features for scheduling.

How to Get an Account: Contact the human subjects (HS) coordinator at hscoordinator@lists.stanford.edu (currently (2009) this is Amanda Foster). You must be up to date with your CITI training and She will need a copy of the IRB approval letter for your study. You can get this from the Lab Coordinator.
Note: When you set up your study be sure to make sure to check "Are you a U.S. Citizen?" in the Prescreening Requirements and set the answer to yes!
Q-Day
Q-Day is the survey day for Psych 1. If you need a short survey filled out fast for free, this is the way to go. If you want to do this be sure to check with the HS coordinator at hscoordinator@lists.stanford.edu or the Lab Coordinator well in advance to find out about impending deadlines and to get an Application.
Bay Area Research
If you are trying to recruit an unusual population (i.e. a clinical population, an aging population or a particular demographic) you could consider using the Bay Area Research group. This is a recruitment agency that will manage all the details of recruiting and scheduling your subjects but for a hefty fee. You'll have to discuss this option with Brian who can give you more details on how to contact the agency.
