Avicenna enables you to screen prospective participants against specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, ensuring that only those who qualify can join your study. This can be achieved by creating an [Eligibility Survey](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/terminology/1288#p-2915-eligibility-survey-17) for your study, adding the necessary questions, and then defining [criteria](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/criteria/1236/1) based on their responses. In this section, we explain how to do this in Avicenna Research.

## Eligibility Survey

To create an Eligibility Survey, follow these steps:

1. Start by **creating a new activity**. For detailed instructions on creating activities, see [Accessing Activities](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/activities/1237#p-2864-accessing-activities-1).

2. When selecting an activity type, choose **Eligibility Survey**.

3. After providing a **Name** and **Description** , click **Create** to open the [**Activity Editor**](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/activities/1237#p-2864-activity-editor-9).

4. On the **Content** page, add the questions you want prospective participants to answer before joining your study.

5. Open the **Settings** tab on the right.

6. Set [**Criteria**](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/criteria/1236/1) based on the questions you added. This criteria determines who is eligible or ineligible to proceed.

7. Go to the **Preview and Publish** page and [publish your survey](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/surveys/1286#p-2913-publish-surveys-12).

> [!note]
> 
> - Participants may attempt the eligibility survey as many times as they wish. If they are marked ineligible on their first attempt, they may try again.
> - Participants who cancel the survey or whose survey expires are considered ineligible.
> - Conditions using a [`since_reg` token](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/criteria/1236#p-2863-keyword-10) are always evaluated as false.
