4. The stratification is based off of on a survey or office visit question.  If your study is stratifying based on 2 age groups, like the above example, then you must determine which age bucket the participant falls into via a survey question.  In this example, the age question will be asked in the Informed Consent. This could also be done via an office visit survey or in the screening survey. 
   
   To build the strata feedbacklogic, navigate to the 'Informed Consent' feedback logic in enrollment.
