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
