Undergraduate research assistants in the research team have successfully completed a structured training program in preparation for data collection. The program provided comprehensive instruction on research ethics, standardized data collection protocols, and the proper use of digital health monitoring tools, ensuring methodological rigor and data reliability throughout the study.
Through this program, the undergraduate research assistants developed practical competencies in participant engagement, device management, and survey administration. Building on this foundation, the research team has now officially initiated the data collection phase, with trained undergraduate research assistants actively engaged in field-based data acquisition.
This training and transition to data collection not only strengthened the overall capacity of the research team but also reinforced the importance of ethical, accurate, and participant-centered research practices, laying a solid foundation for high-quality and reliable study outcomes.
