Who are you trying to gather feedback from? This is one of the first questions researchers ask themselves when planning a study. Researchers keep the goal of the overall study in mind when designing the questionnaire, but to ensure the questionnaire gets to the right people, you need to have a great screener. It may seem like an afterthought, but don’t be fooled. Screeners are just as important as the survey questions themselves, and researchers need to keep their target audience in mind when designing a screener.

In the recent months of respondent supply shortages and data quality issues, designing a great screener is more important now than ever. They’re a critical factor that helps to ensure your data is accurate and useful. After all, what good is the right data if it’s from the wrong people?
