Qualtrics can be used to capture informed consent as part of electronic data collection. Below you find three different ways to set-up the informed consent procedure in Qualtrics.
First step is to determine which of the three informed consent procedures you need. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to contact us. You can find step-by-step tutorials of the three different types of informed consent in Qualtrics below.
If you are not required to document the consent, and the questionnaire needs no follow-up, you can use a simple Qualtrics set-up and ask the respondent anonymously for consent. The answer of the respondent can be evaluated in the Survey Flow with Branch Logic and the survey can be ended or continued depending the evaluation.
Be aware that in order to really anonymize the survey, go trough all 8 steps of this tutorial!
In order to separate the informed consent from the collected data, you will create two surveys. In the first survey, the informed consent is requested from the participant. If the participant agrees with the informed consent, the participant can click on a link that opens the second survey. If the participant does not agree, the survey will be terminated. In the second survey (the data collection) it is important that only respondents who completed the informed consent survey can start this survey. Follow the step-by-step guide below for the implementation.
