尺度和测量
Recommendations for improving survey data and response rate
- Briefly inform respondents of the why, who, how long, etc., in the invitation or survey introduction
- Purpose/how the data will be used/why it is worth their time (i.e., the data collected will be used to improve services)
- 所需时间的估计(1).e., “the survey will take approximately 3-5min to complete)
- 如何保护数据(i.e., anonymous, deidentified sharing, secure sharing, etc.)
- Who will have access to the data, if applicable (i.e.、合作者、公众等.
- Keep the survey as short as possible
- Break unavoidably long surveys into shorter segments (Tip: in REDCap, break the survey into sections and use the Pagination setting “Multiple pages (display one section per page)”
- 利用调查来收集数据 其他地方没有
- Collect only data that you know will be utilized, nothing extra
- Ask one question, or inquire about one concept, at a time
- Use neutral wording (beware of adjectives or adverbs) to avoid influencing or biasing responses
- Keep questions as clear and concise as possible, while tailoring to respondents’ education level, 常见的术语, etc.
- Use multiple choice and scales as often as possible
- The more open-ended text responses, the less likely someone is to respond (the less effort required by respondents, the better)
- Be sure to offer a neutral option, and/or options for all respondents (i.e.,无,其他)
- Use validation where possible for open-ended questions (i.e., email addresses, phone numbers, min/max values, etc.)
- Ask the easiest questions first to reduce survey fatigue
- Consider the best timing to launch a survey
- Check respondent availability (i.e., check the academic schedule, avoid holidays, etc.)
- Avoid launching a survey at the same time as (an)other survey(s)
