Hello Qualtrix community,
I am trying to implement a ceiling cut-off for a new survey I am designing. I am trying to use a parent-report questionnaire called the Vineland-3 in my survey. I am administering four subsections of this questionnaire; each of these subsections has about 50 questions, so in total I am asking parents to answer about 200 questions. When given on paper, the survey has a ceiling, such that if a parent answers '0' for five items in a row, they discontinue that section and go on to the next subsection, until they get five 0's in a row in that section, and so on. I am trying to find a way to implement this ceiling in Qualtrics to reduce burden on the parents completing the survey.
The reason that the basic Qualtrics logic won't work is that a parent could ceiling out at any point in the survey, so we would have to implement skip logic based on the four previous questions for EVERY SINGLE QUESTION in case that question just happened to be the fifth zero response in a row. I tried to implement this in our previous survey using very complex branching logic, but this was extremely time-consuming and made it very difficult to go back and make any changes to the survey. I am really hoping to use custom code that I could just paste into each question of these questionnaires, that will skip to the next section if five questions in a row are answered '0', WITHOUT having to create individual skip/display logic for each question....
I hope this description makes sense. Basically, I am just looking for code that can calculate the number of ''0' responses for the previous five items, and skip to the next block once there are five zeroes in a row. I hope this question makes sense!
