Description
Return one visit's supplied time burden and repeated total.
Participant time, compensation and renewal timing depend on explicit assumptions about visits, expenses, comprehension and applicable rules. A supplied rate or elapsed-time threshold can support bookkeeping while fair compensation, accessibility and valid consent require a broader contextual assessment.
Return one visit's supplied time burden and repeated total.
When to use this tool
Use Participant Burden Per Visit Minute Term when checking the stated research payment, burden, reading-time or renewal convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter procedures, travelMinutes, waitingMinutes, visits. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read perVisit, total. Use the output convention below.
Return one visit's supplied time burden and repeated total. Require nonnegative procedure/travel/wait times and whole visits >= 0; perVisit sums all components, total = visits*perVisit.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| procedures | Procedures | Required. Array of finite number; maximum items 256. |
| travelMinutes | Travel Minutes | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| waitingMinutes | Waiting Minutes | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| visits | Visits | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| perVisit | Per Visit | Required. Finite number. |
| total | Total | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Each visit is assumed identical and components nonoverlapping; time burden alone does not establish ethical acceptability or participant experience.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use participant-centered evidence and the original protocol and consent process; review payment, accessibility and renewal choices with the responsible ethics and professional teams.
