It depends what software you use. We have used LimeSurvey (open source) and we were able to build in mandatory questions. If they are not answered, participants cannot move onto the next screen but they can exit the survey at any time if they don't wish to continue. If they choose the latter, they will not be directed to the screen that offers the opportunity to enter the draw or to do the follow up interview. My view (and that accepted by my REB) is that it is an anonymous survey that is not asking deeply personal questions. Incomplete surveys are not useful to me. The few demographic questions are, however, optional, as they enrich the data but are not essential. Rhiannon
