Processing & anonymisation

How raw captures became the submission set

Transparent steps so reviewers can trace every file back to its source and confirm de-identification.

1

Consent & scoping

Collected signed consent; limited captures to the agreed daily windows.

Output: participant-info-consent.pdf (replace placeholder)

2

Anonymise & trim

Replaced device IDs with participant IDs, redacted names/orgs, and removed non-scope events.

Output: screen-time-unprocessed.csv (de-identified)

3

Structure & summarise

Normalized timestamps, merged logbook responses, and computed first-pickup plus app totals.

Output: logbook-entries.csv + screen-time-summary.csv

4

Code & validate

Built primary/secondary codebooks, logged revisions, and ran cross-coder checks.

Output: codebook-snapshot.csv + agreement materials

Rapid checks

Open a file, skim the rows, download what you need.
