English term or phrase: following speciality will go...
If all necessary screener criteria are fulfilled, following speciality will go the following main questionnaires:
thanks for help as I cannot be sure what is here meant
Explanation: It is very garbled. But I would suggest:
If all necessary screener criteria are fulfilled, the main questionnaires will be assigned in accordance with screener speciality:
(I've used 'in accordance with' because 'following' sounds like a bad translation of 'nach' in German, which can mean following or in accordance with. I'm assuming it's some kind of translation.)
OR
If all necessary screener criteria are fulfilled, the main questionnaires will be assigned after the screener speciality:
(This assumes that 'following' really does mean 'after' here, and not something like 'in accordance with'.)
Not sure if this will be of any help, but it might be a start.

If all necessary screener criteria are fulfilled, the main questionnaires will follow the screener speciality:
Meaning, they will come next in the process, or display here, or something along those lines.
