The fact that each participant can only complete the questionnaire once can only be reliably ensured if the participants are known in advance.

However, caution is required if criminal acts are assessed in a survey (e.g., drug use). Because law enforcement authorities could gain access to the data by means of a court order. Most ethics commissions will not approve of this: if participants are assured that they cannot be identified, this would be a serious breach of trust. In such cases it would probably make sense to accept multiple participation. | However, caution is required if criminal acts are assessed in a survey (e.g., drug use).

Here you can create a list of different links by specifying how many different links are required. In addition, you can also set how often a questionnaire can be completed with this link. So if you want to prevent multiple entries, you have to select the option "Fill in once with the personalized link" under //Multiple entries//. The participant then still has the option to pause the questionnaire and continue it later, but can only submit it once. | ||

If multiple entries are expected in competitions data cleansing might help. It is very unlikely that a participant will fill out the same questionnaire several times with the same motivation.
