Description

Prolific is an online survey platform run by the universities of Oxford, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and others such as Cancer Research UK and the World Bank. It gives us access to survey participants from a pool of tens of thousands of anonymous survey participants that have been screened to provide a trusted source for survey information. Our study is related to working practices during and after Covid, and the surveys have to be completed in a timely way for immediate policy relevance.

The surveys we set up run multiple times per month and draw on the Prolific platform because it offers the most cost effective way to run regular monthly surveys using our Qualtrics software. The surveys we run are tied closely to similar surveys on US participants by Stanford University and for this reason we selected Prolific as our survey platform. The turnaround time for a survey is a matter of days, and we require a balance with Prolific to support the survey.
