Survey Assignment: Data Collection

PHE 505 Survey Guidelines and Rubric Overview: Surveys are one of the most frequently used instruments to collect data and help to answer research questions. However, developing surveys is an art — it is a lot harder than it looks because each question must have a purpose to help you answer your research question. Remember that any unnecessary question costs not only time , but money as well, because valuable resources are being utilized to collect, input, clean , and analyze data that has no benefit to th e study. Prompt: Create a survey that contains least five questions that may be employed in your research. The survey must be specific to your public health issue and research question. Construct at least one question that uses a Likert Scale for the resp onse. Be sure to include:  Your public health issue  The research question  The type of survey (phone, web, person -to-person)  Who will administer it  A statement regarding what measures you will take for those who cannot read, are blind, or cannot read or sp eak the language (used for the survey) Ensure that all close -ended ques tions have response categories. Guidelines for Submission: You may create your survey using either an online tool or within a Word document. If you create it within an online tool, such as Survey Monkey, you must submit a Word document containing the link to the survey, as well as the description of the survey.
