Please rest assured that none of the information you have provided today will be shared with our client or included in the research. These pre-interview questions are used only to confirm whether or not the study will be relevant to you, to avoid wasting your time later on.

We will be pleased to invite you to a future study should this be of interest to you?
Many thanks for your answers, I will pass these on to our research team. Due to the complex nature of this study, our researchers will need to review your answers before we can confirm your interview. I will be in touch within the next 48 hours (at the latest) - we do very much hope to include you in the study, so please bear with us!

Thank you – I’d be grateful if you could leave a few final details, including two or three convenient interview times, so that we can speak when it’s mutually convenient.
