  1. Online Group Concept Mapping (GCM)

This document provides an overview of the proposed SAF-T Project Group Concept Mapping (GCM) process including screenshots of what stakeholder participants will see as they navigate through the Concept Systems, Inc. online groupwisdom GCM platform. The information in this document is presented in the order that participants will experience in the system and is organized by three main activities included in GCM (i.e., brainstorming, sorting, and rating). The initial “General Project Areas” section contains screenshots of messages to participants every time they access the system (whether it is their first time, or they are a returning user), including important elements such as safety warnings, informed consent, welcome, and thank you messages. The “Participant Questions” section contains questions that will be asked of all participants before the sorting and rating activity.


Depending upon how individuals are recruited, they may participate in GCM activities anonymously or confidentially. Participants referred to the GCM via The Hotline (i.e., victims/survivors of relationship abuse, family members of victims/survivors, or friends of victims/survivors) will participate anonymously and will not be assigned a login/password. While they will be able to return to the system as many times as they like for the brainstorming activity, anonymous route respondents will be encouraged to complete the sorting and rating in one sitting (for each activity) since their data are not linked across sessions through a login/password. As the instructions included below show, anonymous participants will be encouraged to start sorting or rating only if they have enough time to complete the activity.


Participants who participate via the confidential path will be able to return multiple times to complete the sorting and rating tasks using a confidential username and password. Each time directions provided in this document mention returning to complete activities, these directions are specific to confidential-route respondents and will not be visible to the anonymous-route respondents. There are notes throughout this document indicating which directions anonymous participants will not see.


Given the aforementioned differences, there will also be two separate consent forms.1 Finally, we include notes throughout this document to indicate where example data have been included for illustrative purposes. Example data will be removed before data collection begins.

After respondents select “START” at the bottom of the brainstorming activity general instructions message, they will be presented with pop-up windows with detailed instructions on the brainstorming activity as illustrated in Exhibits 3a-1 through 3a-4. Respondents can choose to skip or navigate forward or back through these activity instructions. After respondents progress through (or skip) these instructions, they will advance to the activity interface where they can begin the brainstorming activity (See Exhibit 3b).

Exhibit 3a-1. Screenshot of pop-up window with brainstorming activity instructions: How and where to enter responses*

* Instructions in screenshot: “Type a statement here that completes the sentence started above. Please keep each statement brief and include just one thought per statement.” NOTE: All example statements shown under “Collected statements” in the screen shot below will be removed before data collection. Actual brainstormed statements (from participants, the literature review, and advocate interviews) will be viewable by participants should they wish to see examples.



Exhibit 3a-2. Screenshot of pop-up window with brainstorming activity instructions: Location of participant responses*

* Instructions in screenshot: “Once you add statements they will show here, together with other participant ideas. You may add as many statements as you wish.” NOTE: All example statements shown under “Collected statements” in the screen shot below will be removed before data collection.




Exhibit 3a-3. Screenshot of pop-up window with brainstorming activity instructions: Auto-save function and option to respond during more than one session*

* Instructions in screenshot: “Your ideas are automatically saved so you can leave at any time and return to add more later.”




Exhibit 3a-4. Screenshot of pop-up window with brainstorming activity instructions: Careful consideration of focus prompt before responding*

* Instructions in screenshot: “Think carefully about your ideas. Consider different experiences or information relating to the focus prompt.”




Exhibit 3b. Brainstorming activity interface*

* NOTE: All example statements shown under “Collected statements” in the screen shot below will be removed before data collection.



When respondents are finished with the brainstorming activity, they will select “FINISH” and will receive a thank you message as illustrated in Exhibit 3c.

Exhibit 4a. Participant questions overview message

Shape7



After respondents select “START” at the bottom of the participant questions overview message, they will be prompted to answer five participant questions. Screen shots of the five questions are illustrated in Exhibits 4b-1 through 4b-5. The responses to the participant questions will allow subsequent analyses of differences by key stakeholder group, age, race/ethnicity, and preferred mode of contacting The Hotline.

  1. Sorting Activity

After responding to the five participant questions, respondents will be provided with general instructions for participating in the sorting activity as illustrated in Exhibit 5a.


Exhibit 5a. Sorting activity general instructions message

Shape13






After respondents select “START” at the bottom of the sorting activity general instructions message, they will be presented with pop-up window detailed instructions on the sorting activity as illustrated in Exhibits 5a-1 through 5a-3. Respondents can choose to skip or navigate forward or back through these activity instructions. After respondents progress through (or skip) these instructions, they will advance to the activity interface where they can begin the sorting activity (See Exhibit 5b-1).



Exhibit 5b-1. Screenshot of pop-up window with sorting activity instructions: Sorting cards into piles*

* Text in screen shot: “Read through the statements in the left sidebar. Sort each card into a pile as you create your own version of how these ideas are related. You’ll give each pile a name that describes its theme or contents. You can start naming the piles or groups right away, or name them as you go. You’ll have the chance to check all your piles when you are finished.” NOTE: All example statements under “Cards” will be removed before data collection.



Exhibit 5b-2. Screenshot of pop-up window with sorting activity instructions: Editing and organizing piles*

* Text in screen shot: “Edit and organize piles in the blank area. People vary on how many piles they create. Usually 5 to 20 piles work well to organize this number of statements.” NOTE: All example statements under “Cards” will be removed before data collection.


Exhibit 5b-3. Screenshot of pop-up window with sorting activity instructions: Auto-save function and option to respond during more than one session*

* Text in screen shot: “You do not need to complete the sorting activity all at once. The piles you create will be auto-saved so you can leave the activity and log-in at a later time to complete with a username and password.” NOTE 1: Anonymous participants will not see these directions. NOTE 2: All example statements under “Cards” will be removed before data collection.
