    • Used an online dating service before their marriage
    • Attend church at least once every 4-6 months

Methodology

  • Consumers were reached by collaborating with one of our panel partners.
  • Respondents received an incentive according to the panel’s requirements.
  • Survata uses IP address to prevent duplicate respondents. This ensures that there are no duplicates when using one or multiple panels.
  • All panel partners must comply with Survata’s standard of clean, accurate data. This includes, but is not limited to, having a policy that each account is validated and that the panel independently monitors each account.
