to participate in follow-up surveys

German translation: alle Befragten

Marketing - Marketing / Market Research
English term or phrase: to participate in follow-up surveys
All participants will automatically enter the prize drawing as long as they complete a valid email address at the end of the survey and assuming that they participate to the first survey as well as the follow-up surveys online (max.2).

Kontext: Online-Fragebogen. Der Ausgangstext wurde von einem Nicht-Muttersprachler verfasst, daher das komische Englisch. Bisherige Lösung:

Alle Teilnehmer, die am Ende der Umfrage eine gültige E-Mail-Adresse angeben und bereit sind, an 1-2 Folgeumfragen teilzunehmen, nehmen automatisch an der Verlosung teil.

Aber das ist nicht so optimal wegen der Wortwiederholung (Teilnehmer - teilzunehmen - nehmen... teil). Habt ihr eine Idee, wie man das lösen könnte?

Explanation:
statt alle Teilnehmer

Teilnehmer in market research interviews are often referred to as Befragten (and in English as respondents rather than participants).

agree  Horst Huber (X): "Sich beteiligen" ist wohl besser. "Mitwirkung" liegt bei den Fragestellern.

neutral  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator): "mitwirken" sounds outdated in this context
