How can you securely distribute a survey using Qualtrics?

Distributing a survey securely using Qualtrics involves ensuring that responses are tracked and that only targeted respondents have access to the survey. By utilizing personalized links or email invites with unique identifiers, you create a controlled environment where each respondent receives a unique link directly associated with them. This method not only aids in tracking who has completed the survey but also helps in ensuring that each respondent can only fill out the survey once, thereby maintaining the integrity of the data collected.

This approach safeguards against issues like unauthorized access, as it limits the survey to predefined individuals who are expected to complete it. Additionally, it provides an extra layer of security because responses can be linked back to the individual, making it easier to follow up if further information or clarification is needed. Overall, using personalized links enhances both the security of the survey distribution and the reliability of the data collected.
