Longitudinal and Follow up Surveys on Mechanical Turk

Problem:

Suppose you need to run a survey on Mechanical Turk and follow up with the same workers a week, month or year later. A few issues come up:

  1. How can I limit the follow up surveys to survey takers who completed the first study - without the worker needing to follow the link and enter their Worker ID? 
  2. Can I notify those workers of my follow up survey?
  3. Can I set up a follow up survey so that the workers who take that survey do not know why they were selected?

Solution:

Include Workers Feature 

Create your surveys using TurkPrime.com's "Include Workers" feature. When your HIT launches it will have a Qualification Requirement that will limit your HIT to only the Workers you allowed. All other workers will be unqualified from taking your HIT.
