- Set up: table, folders, snacks, water
- Working in pairs: easy to fill in for each other when someone loses their train of thought
- Being friendly: greet as the person goes into the store, catch them on their way out
- Guilt trips: you're out there sweating in the heat, make sure they know it!
- Being prepared: have a little speech to sell people, and be ready to jump into the introduction/consent process as soon as they seem like they're considering it.
What didn't work:
- Being timid: better to ask too many people than too few
- Clothing: ridiculously hot outside. Forget the dress code, wear breezey clothing and LOTS of sunscreen. Bring a really cold water bottle.
- No one seems to use health services... we're going to have to sample at UVA too
- Time of day: we're going to have to do a lot of weekend work, unfortunately. Hardly anyone was around. This did make it nice to practice though!
