Before you begin
A few things worth knowing before you open a survey.
Every study marked Recruiting now has received research ethics approval. Studies marked Opening soon are still in review and will open once approval is granted.
Taking part is your choice. Focus groups and interviews are optional in the studies that offer them, and you can stop at any point.
Most surveys take 5 to 15 minutes. Surveys open in a new tab on SurveyMonkey, so this page stays where you left it.
