This makes it easier to familiarise yourself with the system and create initial queries. A zip-file of the sample questionaire can be downloaded here. It only needs to be imported in yours REDCap project by clicking on the upload button in the Designer.
Catalog of already available tests
Some of the psychological tests commonly used have already been implemented in REDCap. A list of the implemented tests can be found here:
Catalog of psychological tests.
When a test is selected a preview of the respective questionnaire is shown. The form linked at the end of the overview page can be used to request zip-folders of the desired questionnaires. The file then has to be uploaded in the REDCap project where it is supposed to be used later.
Note: Some fields are not supposed to be visible for the participants during data collection. These fields should additionally be marked with the Action-Tag @HIDDEN-SURVEY.
