Create an intercept study

Once you’ve created a Dscout project, you can create a new intercept study. You can either create a new study from scratch or duplicate an existing study and modify it.

Create a new intercept study

If you want to create a new intercept study from scratch—or if you’re building one for the first time—you’ll do so from within your Dscout project.

To create a new intercept study:

1. Click Create mission in the top right corner of your project. The Create something new modal is displayed.
   
   
2. Under Intercept study, click Create.
   
   
3. Select a target country. Then, click Continue.
   
   

4. Enter a mission title. Then, click Create mission.

   Note: This title will be visible to participants, so choose one that is representative of the mission but doesn’t give away your research objectives. To add a private title, click Add an internal mission name.

Now, your new mission opens in the builder. Here, you can customize its settings on the Overview tab, add screener questions on the Intercept tab, and add mission questions on the Mission tab. If you need help building, here are a few resources to get you started:

• Manage appearance of an intercept study.
• Manage participant limit and incentive in an intercept study.
• Add questions to an intercept study.

Duplicate an intercept study

If you have an existing intercept study you want to use as a starting point for a new mission, you can duplicate it.

To duplicate an intercept study within a project:

1. Find the mission you want to duplicate.
2. Click the Options icon in the top right corner of the mission tile.
3. Select Duplicate.

4. Select one of the following options:

   1. Duplicate and modify mission setup: Copies the mission’s questions but allows you to modify your target country.
   2. Duplicate: Copies the mission exactly as-is, including your target country.

   
   
   

5. If modifying mission setup, refer to the steps above.

Now, your mission has been duplicated. You can give it a new name in the top left corner, adjust your questions on the Intercept or Mission tabs, or launch it to start gathering insights.
