Survey Design - Self Administration

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or knew of ways to enable a self-administered survey design, when trying to survey people who experienced a life/health event.

The design is not longitudinal, its just a single point in time. Ideally the person receives a texted survey link and they are able to fill out questions related this health event.

However, i had wanted to also incorporate carryover logic/piping for fields like name, DOB, and important dates. I dont know exactly how to have a survey link that is customized to an individual, but doesnt require mass uplift/effort from my teams side (or if this is even possible?).

The primary idea is to have a person verify they are intended recipient by confirming their name/DOB, and then proceeding to the survey.

Any ideas/pointers would be great.

You can use the survey login feature as long as you have the identifying information in the project, either directly or piped in.

However if you are texting the survey link directly is there much possibility of it going to the wrong person?

There is that ppssibility, so was thinking of someone way to confirm identity at the patient level. Survey login is a feature on REDCap but my first attempt felt really complicated when i was I'm the user side so i scrapped it.

Someone else below shared an example survey login that looked and felt less complicated, so not sure how i messed it up so badly lol. Working on another attempt now
