Surveys

A survey can stay anonymous. Or it can start a study.

  • Keep respondents anonymous.
  • Reward them automatically.
  • Start a study with the ones who qualify.

Anything from a fully anonymous survey to a screener that enrolls qualifying respondents into a study, with rewards, follow-up, and analysis built in when you need them. It is the same platform either way, so the decision is a setting, not a different product.

Everything you’d expect from a survey.

Question types, validation, branching, display logic, required fields, and duplicate-response controls. Image and video items, not just radio buttons. Phone, tablet, or desktop. Anonymous or identified. Open links or controlled access. One-time, or repeating on a participant’s schedule when the survey belongs to a study.

What makes Studytrax different is what happens around the survey.

Before Submit, and after.

Every decision about a survey falls on one side of the Submit button. Before it: who the respondent is. After it: what happens next.

Both sides are settings on the same survey.

Anonymous when you want it. Connected when you need it.

Fully anonymous.

No login, no account, no identifiers. Someone follows a link, answers, and is done. Duplicate responses are limited without asking anyone who they are.

Anonymous, then a reward.

Answers stay anonymous. A respondent who completes the survey can register afterward to claim the incentive, and the reward account can be kept separate from the responses.

Linked to a participant.

Responses join an existing participant record, alongside their schedule, follow-up, reporting, and analysis, rather than sitting in a separate export.

The screener that starts a study.

Ask the eligibility questions up front and define who qualifies. What happens to a qualifying respondent is decided per study, not by the survey tool.

Screening answers carry forward. Nobody is asked the same questions twice.Same participant record, start to finish.

Choose what happens when someone qualifies. Notify staff for personal follow-up, let respondents register and continue entirely online, or bring them into a study with clinic visits. Their screening answers come with them, so nobody is asked twice and nobody re-keys a spreadsheet of maybes. Respondents who don’t qualify are thanked, and nothing more is collected.

Three surveys, one engine.

A community survey that has to stay anonymous.

An eligibility screener that becomes an account.

A follow-up questionnaire already on a participant’s schedule.

Reward participation without managing gift cards.

Set what earns a reward: a completed survey, a visit, a study milestone. Participants earn points and exchange them for the gift card they choose. Fulfillment is automatic, so nobody is buying cards, tracking a spreadsheet, or mailing anything.

Connected to the rest of the research.

Built for research data.

Anonymous responses or protected health information in the same environment. HIPAA compliant with a BAA, 21 CFR Part 11 ready, with role-based access and a full audit trail.

Compliance

Connected to the participant.

When identity matters, responses become part of the participant’s research record rather than another dataset to reconcile.

Connected to analysis and writing.

Survey data go into Workbench, the same analysis and writing environment as the rest of the study: datasets, tables, figures, reports, and the manuscript, without a cleanup pass from a CSV.

Start with a survey. Keep going.

A survey can screen, recruit, trigger follow-up, begin a schedule, or become part of a registry or trial without moving the data anywhere. Nothing has to be rebuilt because the research grew. And if all you need is a survey, it can be just a survey.
