Survey types
  • Household
  • Street
  • Telephone
  • Mail
  • Customer
  • Captive
  • Organization

5
Main factors affecting design
  • Cost
  • Questionnaire length
  • Sample size
  • Response rate

6
Response rate
  • Low response rate increases risk of response bias
    thus the reliability of the results

7
Ways of increasing response rate
  • Keep questionnaire short
  • Reader-friendly design presentation
  • Accompanying letter
  • Postage-paid reply envelope
  • Rewards
  • Reminder/follow-ups

Questionnaire design
  • Clearly identify the problems
  • Review existing research literature
  • Identify key concepts and variables
  • Propose the relationships
  • Identify information needed to test or estimate
    the relationships
  • Draft design
  • Pilot test
  • Final design

  • Attitude statements
  • Semantic differential

10
Wording of questions
  • Avoid jargon
  • Simple

Other design issues
  • Ordering of questions
  • Layout
  • Filters
  • Introductory remarks
  • Validity of surveys
  • Use of pilot survey

12
Representative sample
  • Random sample
  • Quota sampling
  • Multi-stage sampling
  • Cluster sampling
  • Minimized self-selection bias
  • Clear guidelines for interviewers
  • Increase response rate

13
Sample size
  • Level of precision of results
  • Level of detail in the proposed analysis
  • Budget
