# Context Screen Block

### What is a context screen?

A context screen refers to a specific page that provides background information, instructions, or context to respondents before they begin responding to the questions in the study. The purpose of a context screen is to set the stage, establish the necessary framework, and provide relevant details or instructions that help respondents understand the context and purpose of the research.
