Nathan Kline
Adolescent Screenomics Study Coordinator, Peds/Disease Prevention
Current Role at StanfordAs the Adolescent Screenomics Study Coordinator, I have collaborated with Dr. Tom Robinson and the rest of the Stanford Solutions Lab team to create the groundwork for the Adolescent Screenomics study. Some of this groundwork includes: developing and maintaining a RedCap project with over 20 instruments and over 800 notifications with branching logic. I also have been collaborating with programmers and RedCap administrators to manage compensation related to smartphone use, create a zoom scheduler to onboard adolescent participants, and automate the distribution of gift cards. Moreover, I have been developing and maintaining our study website. Finally, I have been developing advertisements on Facebook, Instagram, etc. to advertise for our study. Once our study is approved by the IRB officially, I will begin recruiting and onboarding adolescent participants, obtaining informed consent (from their parents/guardians) and assent, and monitoring completion of the study.
