Abstract

As Mechanical Turk (MTurk) becomes a more popular platform for conducting addiction intervention studies, greater awareness of the limitations of this participant pool is needed. Specific challenges for testing interventions on MTurk include: limited intervention engagement, the sharing of crucial study information among MTurk workers and the collection of fraudulent responses.
