Today I attended Part 1 of the 3-part presentation titled "Planning Surveys and Designing Questionnaires. It was presented by Gail Fuller who works with the CSU Spatial Analysis Network (SPAN). Gail has been a fantastic support for our own research and research students.
This three part integrated workshop is designed to introduce the processes and steps involved in planning a survey and creating a questionnaire that effectively gathers the data you need to satisfy your research questions. It will cover question and questionnaire design and type, population size, choice and how to connect, testing and redesign, data collection and storage, what works and what doesn't over the entire process, what support is available.
Census = entire population
Target population = scope
Survey population = coverage
