In this study, we used Amazon’s MTurk as an example of a well-known, inexpensive, fast, easily accessible convenience panel that can be used for data collection. As we note later, although data collection methods on MTurk have improved since, we used the methods recommended at the start of our data collection (August 2021). Therefore, hereafter, what we have labeled as MTurk data should be considered to represent a somewhat lower quality than what is possible now. MTurk was launched in 2005 [18,19,22].

Survey attrition has been noted as a critical concern with using MTurk [4]. Still, there is limited information about the effects of survey attrition in longitudinal studies using MTurk and the extent to which it limits the inferences that can be drawn [18].
Previous research has shown that nonresponse patterns vary by survey population and survey type in MTurk.

Omnibus participants are recruited from among eligible workers on MTurk using the MTurk Toolkit by Cloud Research (formerly known as Turk Prime), in order to enhance control over data quality [7]. Cloud Research regularly monitors MTurk worker engagement in order to identify individuals who are most likely to provide high-quality data.

Response Consistency of Crowdsourced Web-Based Surveys on Type 1 Diabetes
Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk), a confidential web-based crowdsourcing platform with more than half a million registered workers [2], may serve as an alternative route for cost-effectively surveying large samples of patients with T1 D receiving care in geographically dispersed health care environments. In this study, we tested the feasibility of using MTurk to gather reliable information from people living with T1 D.

Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing platform that includes a pool of “workers” willing to complete tasks for low levels of compensation [1]. The extent to which MTurk and other convenience-based samples are representative of the general population [2] or subgroups of the population [3] is a concern in many studies. Most MTurk participants are young, White, male, and highly educated, but report relatively poor mental health [4,5].

We used a crowdsourcing platform, Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk), to conduct the experiment. The experiment used “role-playing” methodologies in marketing science [12,13] and neuroscience [14-16] to study the impact of different nudging strategies in simulated scenarios. The targeted behavior in the experiment was bringing medicines to a primary care visit.

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) has become increasingly popular as a crowdsourcing platform for conducting web-based research involving surveys, as MTurk facilitates access to a large and diverse participant population at a relatively low cost to investigators [21-23]. MTurk functions as a web-based labor market where registered workers complete web-based Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs) to be paid.

MTurk allows researchers to collect a large amount of quality data quickly and for relatively little cost [19-21]. On MTurk, requesters are people who post or request tasks (eg, surveys) to be completed, whereas workers are people who are paid for task completion. Requesters can customize the tasks to be available to certain MTurk workers. MTurk workers are able to read descriptions of tasks and select the tasks they are interested in.

We conducted 2 cross-sectional surveys via MTurk: the first in January 2016 targeting those with back pain, and the second in August 2016 targeting those without back pain (Figure 1), limiting the MTurk sample to only those residing in the United States. The University of Washington Human Subjects Division provided ethical approval for this study prior to administration of the surveys.
