Elements of Survey Administration:
Effective Sampling and Administration Options

With the survey questionnaire designed, the next step in the survey process is to administer the survey. Different methods exist to administer a questionnaire - phone, web, and postal mail are the best known - and each method has its strengths and weaknesses. This seminar will cover different options for administering a survey, as well as present the types of biases that poor administration can introduce into the data. We will also cover sampling processes and the critical question of “how many responses do I need for an accurate survey?” along with how to increase response rates.

Seminar attendees will learn to:

• Outline strengths and weaknesses of different administration methods.
• Identify types of administration biases.
• Define various types of sampling methods.
• Discuss response rates and how to calculate statistical confidence.
• Define ways to increase response rates.
