Study 1 Facilitator Guide
This guide outlines the responsibilities and procedures for facilitators managing Study 1 at Thingylabs GmbH, owned by D3velop Ltd and licensed to Thingylabs GmbH. It supports our investigation into nutritional supplements to enhance employee well-being, cognitive performance, and productivity.

Responsibilities

  • Preparation: Review the Supplement Protocol to understand the supplements and study goals.
  • Distribution: Provide participants with the Participant Guide and Daily Tracker.
  • Monitoring: Ensure participants log their supplement intake daily and complete end-of-week questions each Sunday.
  • Collection: Gather completed Daily Tracker sheets weekly and submit via [survey link or email].
  • Support: Address participant questions and report issues to [email protected].

Procedures

  1. Start-Up:

    • Brief participants on the study, emphasizing voluntary participation.
    • Explain the pseudonymous data collection process using participant codes (e.g., TL-202311-123).
    • Ensure participants understand that completing surveys constitutes consent under GDPR.
    • Direct participants to the GDPR Compliance page.

  2. Weekly Cycle:

    • Distribute trackers at the week's start.
    • Remind participants to use their unique participant code on all submissions.
    • Remind participants to log daily and complete questions on Sunday.
    • Collect sheets by Monday.

  3. Data Handling:

    • Store sheets securely on encrypted servers in compliance with Article 32 GDPR.
    • Maintain pseudonymity by using only participant codes for identification.
    • Ensure no directly identifying information is collected unless explicit consent is given.

GDPR Considerations

  • Remind participants they can exercise their GDPR rights by contacting [email protected] with their participant code.
  • Inform participants that health-related data is being collected as special category data under Article 9 GDPR with their explicit consent.
  • Emphasize that participation is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time.

Notes

  • No specific dosages are mandated—participants choose intake per packaging or preference.
  • Contact [email protected] for assistance or to report adverse reactions.
