Confidential Substance Use Research Screening Form

Conducting substance use research requires sensitivity, confidentiality, and a trauma-informed approach.

Why use Paperform for substance use research?

This template creates a safe, judgment-free digital environment for participants to share sensitive information. The form includes built-in harm reduction education, connects people with addiction support resources, and uses conditional logic to tailor questions based on substance type and usage patterns—all while maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality.

Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance and data encryption ensure participant information remains secure, while anonymous submission options protect identity. The doc-style editor lets you customize language to match your research protocols and IRB requirements, and you can easily add institutional branding to build trust with potential participants.

Streamline your research workflow with automation

Once a participant submits their screening form, Stepper can automatically route qualified candidates to your research coordinator, send consent documents via Papersign for secure eSignature, schedule intake appointments, and log participant data into your research database—all without manual data entry.

Conditional logic ensures participants only see questions relevant to their substance use patterns, reducing survey fatigue and improving data quality. Use Paperform's calculation fields to automatically score eligibility criteria, and trigger different follow-up emails based on whether someone qualifies for your study.
