What are Live Studies?
Live Studies are a special type of research where Ipsos iSay members participate in pre-scheduled live events, completing interactive surveys simultaneously with other members. Then they potentially participate in a follow-up video discussion group.
How can I participate in Live Studies opportunities?
Simply fill out your “Special Studies and Communities” profiling survey and let us know you’re interested.
I expressed my interest in participating in Live Studies opportunities when completing my “Special Studies and Community” profile survey. When will I be invited to participate?
If we have a Live Study that we believe might be a good fit for you, we’ll invite you to take a qualifying survey. If you are a good match for the study, then we’ll ask if you’d like to take part. You can access these qualifying surveys simply by taking Ipsos iSay surveys on our website, through email, or in our app. Be sure to keep your profiling surveys up to date. Completing your profile helps us match you to more relevant studies, including qualifying surveys for Live Studies.
I took a survey and qualified for a Live Study , so why wasn’t I chosen to take part?
Not everyone who qualifies will ultimately be selected for the live event part of the study. It depends on how many other qualified participants took the survey. Please keep taking surveys – we conduct new Live Studies regularly!
I have signed up for a Live Study. When is it taking place?
After you are invited to and sign up for the live study, we will send you a confirmation email with the details, including date, time, and duration of the study. We encourage you to arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of the Live Study so that we can start on time.
How do I access the Live Study that I signed up for?
You will receive a confirmation email with detailed instructions, including a link to join the study and an access code. The link may not be live until shortly before the study begins. We encourage you to arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of the Live Study so that we can start on time.
What if I am unable to participate or no longer wish to take part in a Live Study that I have signed up for?
Should you change your mind and not wish to participate, please simply disregard the reminder emails that you receive before the Live Study. Afterward, you will not be contacted further by Ipsos for that project.
