Seven optional questions separate awareness, attempted use, navigation problems and clarity of the result. ## Ask About Controls, Not Personal Incidents Choose one platform or a clearly defined platform type and ask adult users about the past 30 days. Do not ask for account handles, screenshots, names, harmful content or descriptions of abuse. Explain who will review responses and give a separate route for urgent reporting or support. This is usability feedback, not a channel for handling a live safety incident. ## Why Awareness and Use Need Separate Questions Bright, Enock, Johansson, Stevens and Margetts studied UK adults' experiences of platform safety technology. Their 2026 abstract states, “Awareness of specific tools is varied.” The [safety technology study ](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/20563051261431383)distinguishes awareness of reporting and blocking from awareness of preventive controls. That supports asking what respondents knew before a task, whether they tried a control and what happened. The study does not validate this original seven-question form or prove the design of any particular platform works. **Create your social media safety survey in SurveyLegend** Choose one platform or a clearly defined platform type and ask adult users about the past 30 days. Do not ask for account handles, screenshots, names, harmful content or descriptions of abuse. ## 7 Social Media Safety Survey Questions All seven questions are optional and always visible. Keep the same named platform and past-30-days period throughout. Questions ask about usability of controls; no response is a formal report of harmful content. Try the survey ## A little feedback. A clearer picture. Explore this 7-question example at your own pace. Every question is optional.

You’ve tried the template from the respondent’s side. Make it your own with SurveyLegend. [Create your own survey](https://www.surveylegend.com/register/) Checking submission availability… This is a demo. We count starts and submissions only. Your answers stay in your browser and are never sent or saved. **—**Starts **—**Submissions Activity is temporarily unavailable. ## Adapt the Survey to One Platform Replace generic safety tasks with controls actually present on the platform being evaluated, without assuming every service has the same menus. Test labels with adult users before launch. If distributing the survey through social channels, SurveyLegend's [social media surveys ](https://www.surveylegend.com/types-of-surveys/social-media/)page explains link-based collection; this questionnaire is about platform safety controls, not marketing engagement. State the audience and recruitment method so voluntary social-post responses are not mistaken for a representative sample. ## Printable Social Media Safety Survey Template Use the printable version for feedback about the named platform during the past 30 days. It includes the same seven optional questions and answer choices, with space for written answers. Provide a private return route and a separate urgent-support route; do not ask for incident details. Paper answers need secure manual review and are not automatically counted with online responses. ![First page of the printable Social Media Safety Survey Template with questions and answer spaces](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-template-media/pdf-previews/social-media-safety-template-pdf-preview.avif) [![](https://www.surveylegend.com/user-guide-media/icons/download-pdf.svg) Download the social media safety survey PDF](https://www.surveylegend.com/downloads/survey-templates/social-media-safety-survey-template.pdf) Export Social Media Safety Survey Template as PDF ## AI Prompt for a Social Media Safety Survey Copy this exact specification into an AI assistant, review the draft for platform accuracy, then build and customize the questionnaire in SurveyLegend. ## Social Media Safety Survey Creation Prompt AI Prompt for a Social Media Safety Survey [](https://www.surveylegend.com/register/) Copy the prompt into an AI assistant to draft the questions, then build your survey in SurveyLegend.

Someone may know a control exists yet fail to find it, complete it without understanding the outcome, or avoid it because they cannot tell what happens next. Group open suggestions by label, menu location and explanation; then test one revised path with users. Do not present percentages from a voluntary group as population prevalence or infer that reported use prevented harm. For the privacy obligations of a survey creator handling sensitive feedback, read SurveyLegend's [security overview ](https://www.surveylegend.com/security/). Keep any individual safety report in a separate, staffed workflow. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this an incident-report form? No. It asks about awareness and usability of controls. Provide a separate, monitored route for active safety issues or urgent help; do not rely on survey responses for intervention. ### Can this survey be used with teenagers? This draft is written for adults. A youth study needs age-appropriate wording, consent and safeguarding review before use; do not reuse this version unchanged. ### Does a high ease rating prove a platform is safe? No. Ratings describe respondents' reported experience of particular controls. They do not establish prevention of harm, service-wide safety or validation of this questionnaire.

[![Preview of the Celebrity Endorsements Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-template-media/previews/celebrity-endorsements-template-preview.avif) Celebrity Endorsements Survey Template Media & entertainment Show one neutral concept card to the intended adult audience. In the demo, imagine a fictional well-known performer promoting a reusable bottle; it is not an actual endorsement. Ask how familiar respondents are with the spokesperson, whether the pairing makes sense, what it says about the brand, and what worries them. A response is feedback on this concept, not evidence that anyone has signed a deal or would buy the product. Kamins and Gupta's 1994 experiment varied spokesperson type and product–spokesperson congruence. Its abstract reports more favorable believability and product attitudes under greater congruence; the authors describe the question as “the fit or congruence between image type and the product advertised.” Read the study abstract. That controlled design is not a validation of this seven-question SurveyLegend example, and its effects should not be treated as a forecast for a current campaign.](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/media-entertainment-surveys/celebrity-endorsements-template/) 4.
