With custom screening questions, you can qualify or exclude participants based on their answers to single or multi-choice questions at the start of your study.
How to add screening questions to your study
Eligibility screeners are built in to our Choose blocks, allowing you to use them to filter out participants at any stage of your study.
To filter our participants based on their answers, simply:
1. Open your study in the Wondering Study Builder.
2. Add a new "Choose" block to your study, and move it to the place in your study where you want the screening questions should be asked. Usually that's at the beginning of the study.
3. Toggle on "Eligibility screener" within your Choose block to show the screener settings:
4. You'll now see screening logic appear next to each answer choice.
5. For each answer option, choose between "Accept" and "Reject".
Selecting "Accept" means participants choosing that option will continue with the study.
Selecting "Reject" means participants choosing that option will be immediately screened out.
6. Once you're done, participants who pick options that don't reject them from your study will continue to the next block in your study, while those who don't will see a thank you message.
By combining multiple screening questions and adding them to the start of your study, you can easily filter out participants that you don't want from participating in your study.
How panel credits work when using screening questions
If you recruit from our panel, participants cost 1 panel credit ($5) per participant that completes your study. Any participants screened out using screeners still count as a completed response, and will cost 1 panel credit.
