Define whose experience you need before recruiting. A screener helps identify that experience; it does not make a small discussion group representative of an entire market. ## When to use this focus group screener This template is for adult, nonclinical consumer research about a named product category. It supports manual screening and follow-up by the research team. SurveyLegend helps organize responses, while eligibility, consent, and final invitations remain part of the study's own process. Once participants are selected, [concept testing ](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/design-branding-picture-surveys/concept-testing-template/)questions can support a separate product-idea review. For context on the discussion that follows recruitment, see SurveyLegend's guide to [focus group research ](https://www.surveylegend.com/types-of-surveys/focus-group/). This form prepares that session; it does not conduct it. **Create your focus group screener in SurveyLegend** A useful discussion starts with the right mix of participants.

Keep the category description neutral so it does not suggest a desirable answer. Separate the screener from consent to participate in the eventual discussion. Provide a private contact route for adjustments rather than collecting personal details in an open field. Before sharing, try the questionnaire with a few intended respondents and clarify anything they interpret differently. SurveyLegend's guide to [screening questions ](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-questions/screening-questions/)explains how product experience and other relevant criteria can narrow the recruitment pool. ## Printable focus group screener template Use this printable focus group screener template when recruiting in person and explaining the study before a potential participant responds. It gives people who prefer paper or are less comfortable online another way to respond. Include the same context, questions, and answer choices as the online version. Tell respondents where to return it and who will review it. Paper answers need separate review or manual entry; they are not automatically added to online responses.

Leave an unanswered eligibility item unresolved rather than assuming a pass. Use the short experience description to clarify fit, not to judge eloquence. Invite a purposeful mix and keep a record of screening decisions. Hennink's [recruitment guidance ](https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/international-focus-group-research/participant-recruitment/B926F00EFE6CD960FE9232C49D11BED9)describes focus group recruitment as purposive and tied to research objectives. This screener follows that logic by asking about relevant experience and practical attendance requirements. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does this form automatically choose participants? No. The research team reviews responses against the study's criteria and sends invitations separately. ### Is completing the screener consent to join the focus group? No. Provide the study's participation information and consent process separately before the session. SurveyLegend's guide to [survey research ethics ](https://www.surveylegend.com/research/survey-research-ethics-considerations/)offers background on explaining purpose and data use to prospective participants. ### Will a screened focus group represent all customers? Not automatically. Purposeful recruitment supports a relevant discussion, but a small nonrandom group does not establish population-wide percentages. Market Research and Analysis Survey Templates 1.
