Quality assurance
How UserZoom's study quarantine rules work
- Quarantine rules are used by all panel companies, for maintaining good participant data quality.
- There are rules around the number of days a panelist is held from completing more than one study from a particular customer.
- They can vary from 7 to 30 days depending on the country.
-
Quarantine Rules are based on:
- Customer study
- Completes only
- Country
- Study type (Think Out Loud(TOL) and non-TOL)
-
For example:
- If a panelist completes a study from Company ABC, they will not be invited to a Company ABC study for X number of days.
- If a panelist has been invited to more than one study by Company ABC, they will only be able to complete one study and the quarantine rules will apply to other invites.
Why it's important
- To maintain high standards of data quality on our panel.
-
To prevent participants from:
- Becoming professional testers.
- Completing similar studies over and over again leads to biased insights.
- For general information on automated recruitment, contact us or reach out to your account manager.
