hello, I am going to do a longitudinal study ( T1 and T2) for the first time but I am confused about how to track and recontact the same person again while keeping him anonymous. Is there a clear process to do so with Qualtrics? kindly advise

2 different "projects" (T1 and T2) will result in 2 different data files. There are some ways around this. You can build one project to dynamically Show T1 then T2 using the survey flow. Or you could use Contact Triggers to put everything from T1 and append it to the contact info- but I think that might violate your want to keep everything anonymous. I usually just merge files in SPSS when everything is done. I would do some testing to make sure that Anonymizing the data gives you consistent Contact IDs so you can match responses, however.

Could you please elaborate on what you mean by keeping the respondent anonymous and still being able to contact them for stage two. I'm assuming you'll need to ask them for some contact detail, that would make anonymity difficult. On the other hand, if you have a mailing list, you could just send them the stage 2 at a later date. So, it's a little unclear what the problem is.
