About Screener groups and quotas

• Screener Groups are sets of participant profiles based on conditions you define.
• Quotas are the number of participants allowed in a Screener Group.
• Screener Groups allow you to:
  • Limit the maximum number of participants that you want for each profile.
  • Redirect the participants of each Screener Group to a specific point in the study.
  • Add conditions based on different Screener Groups.
  • Filter by Screener Groups in the Results section.
• Participants are assigned to the first Screener Group they match that hasn't met the quota.
• Participants are screened out when:
  • They don't meet the conditions of any Screener Groups.
  • The Screener Group they fit in has met the quota for your study.
• Enable the Advanced Screener option to add Screener Groups and quotas.

Overlapping Screener group example

• In this example, we're looking for 200 total participants:
  • 100 male
  • 100 female
• We also want to be more specific:
  • 30 participants to be male who plays basketball
  • 30 participants to be female who plays basketball
• The most restrictive groups are male who plays basketball and female who plays basketball.
• Order the Screener Groups as follows:
  • Screener Group 1: Male who plays basketball (Quota: 30)
  • Screener Group 2: Female who plays basketball (Quota: 30)
  • Screener Group 3: Male (Quota: 70)
  • Screener Group 4: Female (Quota: 70)
• When setting up the groups like in the example above:
  • Screener Group 3: Male fills after Screener Group 1: Male who plays basketball is filled.
  • Screener Group 4: Female fills after Screener Group 2: Female who plays basketball is filled.
