Integrate Bomb Risk Elicitation Taks (BRET) in Survey Solutions

Dear Survey Solutions community,
Does anyone have experience in embedding a risk elicitation experiment like BRET into Survey Solutions? I was wondering if I would need to collect this information in a separate app or if it was possible to embed this somehow in the app.
See here an example: Bomb Risk Elicitation Task (BRET) - Millisecond

This might be some very domain-specific knowledge.

Could you please rephrase the question in more simple terms.

“I was wondering if I would need to collect this information in a separate app or if it was possible to embed this somehow in the app.”

Which information are you trying to collect?

Dear Sergiy,
the BRET-experiment is a task where participants start a task where 20 tiles are uncovered automatically one after the other. They can stop the process at any time. The longer they wait the higher the risk that they hit the “bomb” which is hidden under one of those tiles and lose their “reward” which is payed our per sucessfully opened tile. It’s a recognized method of elicitating risk attitudes.
It would probably be difficult to program this completely from scratch (needs randomization and visual representation), that’s why I was wondering if it is possible to embed such mini-programs from different sources within the Survey Solutions interface without having to actually leave the app.

Neat idea.

In a sense, this sounds like execsystem from CSPro and/or calling external apps to return a single value to a survey form in ODK.

Thanks a lot. By the looks of it, this seems like something that can’t be done from a user role, right? Or could this be integrated via a macro?

Unless others see a way, I think this would need to work as follows:

  • Have a static text in the questionnaire indicating that one needs to open a separate application
  • Have the interviewer open that application and do the necessary
  • Record the result somehow in Survey Solutions

For the last point, could you say more–to Sergiy’s point–about what information you’re trying to capture? At a high level, I understand that you want some result for the BRET app. However, it would be good to have more details so that we can give you better suggestions.
