What to expect
The interview pages preview tools intended to support brief structured responses and longer reflections after committee and IRB review.
How responses are handled
- Responses remain in the browser until the participant downloads an export.
- Participants can download a JSON or Markdown file.
- Live interview recording with audio and video is optional, requires written permission, and uses the separate approved process.
- The public site does not capture video; only the student closing prompt includes optional browser-local audio.
- Exported files should be transferred only through the approved research process.
Participant choice
- Participation should follow the final consent process.
- Participants may skip any question.
- Participants can type and, on the student closing prompt only, optionally record browser-local audio when approved.
- There are no correct responses; the study is interested in lived experience and professional judgment.
