How Screener Questions Confirm Participant Eligibility
Last Update 11 hours ago
DLYTE uses a segment-first approach to participant matching. Most of the eligibility work happens before a participant sees your study, through their verified profile and completed category modules.
Screener questions are used as a confirmation layer on top of that profile match. They are most useful when your study requires specific criteria that go beyond what is already on file. For example, you may need to confirm a particular product experience, a recent purchase, or a specific behaviour relevant only to this study.
Where a screener question matches something a participant has already recorded in their profile, such as their mobile provider or home internet details in the Telecommunications module, the platform surfaces their saved answer directly in the screener. The participant is then prompted to confirm it or update it.
This reduces rushed or inconsistent answers at apply time.
Screener questions can also be configured to disqualify participants who select specific answers. If a tester’s response matches a disqualifying option, they will not proceed as a qualified candidate for that study.
Keeping screeners short and focused is recommended. Much of the broad eligibility filtering has already been handled by the profile and matching layer. The screener is there to confirm study-specific details, not to do the full job alone.
