Prevent screenshots

Question

Dear Support Team,

I need to collect data on certain cognitive abilities, some of which are measured using intelligence test tasks. Since intelligence tests should not, under any circumstances, be available to the public, even if they are developed specifically for the purposes of the study, is there a possibility of preventing participants from taking screenshots of the items in the test? I have read the instructions for restricting the print function, and I will do that, but if participants can make screenshots on their computers, they can obtain the items, and distribute them (I know this is unlikely, but it is possible). Is there some kind of feature to prevent the usage of screen shot apps on sosci?

Thank you in advance.

Then you should not use the test in an online survey.

If you put data online, you publish it to the public. And "any" circumstance could be a second person filming the screen - there is nothing you could ever to about that.

is there a possibility of preventing participants from taking screenshots of the items in the test?

No, not unless you go into the depths of DRM .. ask Netflix what a huddle that is. The operation system's screenshot features usually run on a level above the browser, so you have no influence on what they do.
