How it works

1

Count participants, candidates, or channels reviewed

Use one recent, representative period and count the actual records, steps, safeguards, or decisions reviewed.

2

Check items meeting declared recruitment criteria

Compare supported items with quota, access, or privacy gaps rather than relying on a general confidence rating.

3

Use the transparent signal

The result shows coverage, gap pressure, and follow-up capacity so the weakest evidence can shape the next action.

Frequently asked questions

What does Participant Distress Response Plan calculate?

It calculates a planning signal from participants, candidates, or channels reviewed, items meeting declared recruitment criteria, quota, access, or privacy gaps, and available follow-up capacity.

Is the result statistically conclusive?

No. It is a transparent planning estimate or risk signal. Use appropriate statistical analysis and qualified review when formal inference is required.

How should participant data be handled?

Use aggregated counts where possible, collect only necessary information, obtain informed consent, and follow applicable privacy and research policies.

When should I recalculate Participant Distress Response Plan?

Recalculate when the audience, sample, source evidence, method, constraints, or decision changes materially.
