Re: Characteristics of a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Sample Recruited Using Amazon ’s Mechanical Turk

As Mr Bernstein and Dr Calamia note in their recent article, “Characteristics of a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Sample Recruited Using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk,” Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is an increasingly popular platform for recruiting research participants in the behavioral and health sciences [1]. We agree that MTurk provides efficient a nd low-cost access to high-quality data. However, researchers must also navigate important drawbacks to effectively use this platform. We use Bernstein and Calamia’s study to highlight some of these drawbacks and offer strategies to address them.
