Specific Date Event Blocks are used to set events on specific dates (e.g. Christmas).
If your study is using Event Blocks based on specific dates, it is important to note all participants may not receive that Event Block if you have an intervention length set on the study arm.
For example: If your study is 6-months long and you have a Christmas Event Block, participants that enroll in January will not receive that Event Block because they would finish before they could get to that block.
Participant Birthday Blocks are special blocks that occur on the participant’s birthday which is obtained during enrollment via the Account Creation or Profile form.
Similar to Specific Date Event Blocks, depending on the intervention length, not all participants will receive a Birthday Event Block.
Setting Event Block based on Arm-Specific Enrollment Survey
You can use data from an arm-specific enrollment survey to schedule an Event Block.
One of the following scenarios could happen:
If the participant has been Started and the date from the survey is in the future, it will be scheduled and events will run as normal.
If the participant has been Started and the date from the survey is in the past, it will be scheduled and the events will be marked as Skipped.
If the participant sits in the Ready status and the date from the survey becomes in the past, it will be scheduled and the events will be marked as Skipped.
