Note: If marking a response with an X, we recommend using a pen.
Incorrect Text/ Number Box Response
Two main field types on paper surveys are the number field and text box field. It is imperative that all responses are inside of the response box. Anything outside of the response box will not be read by the scanner and not included in the data.
For number fields (ex: Participant ID field), only one number can go in each box.

Old Surveys
Old surveys will not be counted. Old surveys do not always reflect the most current survey/ target objectives. Always print surveys directly from the Portal to ensure they are current.
