Thank you for completing this screening. If you were eligible and consented, you will now proceed to the main study. If not, no further action is needed. We appreciate your time.
What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Combines an actual eligibility gate (age check) with a plain-language study summary before asking for consent, rather than presenting consent as a single static document
- Includes a comprehension check question ('which of the following best describes your rights') that verifies the participant understood the consent terms, not just that they clicked agree
- Layers in standard screening demographics (age group, gender, education, employment, region, prior research participation) so eligibility and quality screening happen in one flow
- Provides an open-text field for questions or concerns before enrollment, with automated per-response quality scoring and a generated report for the researcher
Jotform
Research Informed Consent Form TemplateA static, fillable consent form template aimed at capturing signed consent for academic/research studies, similar in purpose to our screener's consent section. It's built for form completion and e-signature capture rather than for verifying comprehension or screening eligibility conversationally. Best suited for teams that only need a documented consent record, not a full participant intake/eligibility flow.
What it does well
- Purpose-built for research consent documentation, likely with e-signature support
- Simple, familiar Jotform builder for quick customization and deployment
- Likely integrates with Jotform's broader form ecosystem (notifications, storage)
Where it falls short
- Static form with fixed questions — no adaptive AI follow-up to probe unclear or concerning answers
- No built-in comprehension check or automated scoring of whether a participant actually understood consent terms
- No voice AI interview option or automated eligibility report generation
