What do I need to know about using Qualtrics online surveys?

Depending on the level of sensitivity of a survey, researchers may wish to include a withdrawal link for the participant. Try following the directions below in Qualtrics:

• Step 1: Create two surveys in Qualtrics. The first survey will include the full survey. The second survey should only contain a copy of the debriefing page (The participant will see this separate debriefing form if they select the withdrawal link).
• Step 2: Add a link within the full survey. In the full survey, select “Edit Survey.” You may then select “Look and Feel,” followed by “Advanced.”
• Step 3: You can now insert a sentence into the “Footer” box, which will serve as a link to the second survey with the withdrawal debriefing form. For example, “Click here if you would like to withdraw from the survey.” This sentence will serve as a link on the bottom of each page in the survey.
• Step 4: Using the “Edit” Function, turn the footer sentence into a hyperlink that will link to the separate debriefing page created in Step 1.
