• Read approved questionnaires and study guidance before reviewing responses, noting question wording, response options, sampling instructions, and any stated exclusions that affect interpretation.
• Use a Survey such as Alchemer to locate assigned response sets, check completion status, and review answers against the study's written review criteria.
