Template: Participant Screening Questionnaire

What is a participant screening questionnaire?

The Participant Screening Questionnaire is a customizable, pre-designed tool that filters potential participants based on specific criteria such as professional role, level of cybersecurity expertise, industry sector, and any other relevant factors.

By incorporating targeted screening questions, the template helps eliminate participants who do not meet your study's qualifications, focusing instead on a well-defined group that aligns closely with your research goals and objectives, ensuring that the insights you gather come from individuals who possess the relevant experience, expertise, and perspectives in your cybersecurity domain.
