This document outlines a workshop on developing strategies for planning, implementing, and reporting mobile research studies. The workshop aims to brainstorm best practices through group discussions on key issues like project planning, implementation, and reporting results. Attendees will be divided into groups to address topics like research objectives, sampling, data collection, recruitment, timelines, and reporting options. Each group will then present their discussions and proposed best practices. The goal is for participants to collectively determine effective strategies for conducting mobile research studies from start to finish.
