Summary:
"Overall, I find this volume quite impressive. Its organization is clear, logical, and easy to follow. Good discussion of rigorous sampling methods."
--Chris Hafner-Eaton, Department of Public Health,
Oregon State University
Through the use of numerous examples, The Survey Handbook explains four different types of survey instruments and the activities that constitute a "typical" survey and demonstrates how to organize surveys and estimate their costs. In addition, the volume discusses such useful techniques as what types of questions to ask in pilot tests, how to relate survey costs to needs for personnel and time, and how to execute a management plan and a budget for a survey. Written in a friendly and straightforward manner, this book provides readers with an introduction to the necessary skills and resources for conducting a survey.
