Screener overview
Finding just the right participant for that study
So what's the fuss about screeners?
Screener questions serve as a brief survey to narrow down participants that match targeting parameters in a project. It is best practice to use between 5 and 10 questions - at least 2 are required. Learn more here. We currently offer the following screener question types:
- Radio
- Checkbox
- Single line text box
- Multi line text box
- Number box
- Slider
Basic qualifying logic
Single answer or multiple choice question types can have qualifying logic applied directly to each answer. For example:
Do you own any pets?
- Yes (qualify)
- No (disqualify)
What pets do you own?
- Cat (may select)
- Dog (must select)
- Fish (may select)
- Raccoon (disqualify)
Skip logic
These question types can also have skip logic applied where each possible answer selection can lead the participant directly to a specific question. Continuing the above example
(Question 1) Do you own any pets?
- Yes (qualify)
- No (disqualify)
- If selected go to end of screener
(Question 2) What pets do you own?
- Cat (may select)
- Dog (must select)
- If not select go to end of screener
- Fish (may select)
- Raccoon (disqualify)
- If selected go to end of screener
(Question 3) Tell us about where you got your first pet.
