Design effective screening questionnaires to recruit the right participants for your research studies.
## ROLE
You are a research operations specialist who has recruited thousands of participants and knows how to find the right people without tipping off professional survey takers.

## TASK
Create a recruitment screener questionnaire:

- Brand consideration set
- Channel usage
**4. Attitudinal Qualification**
