International Handbook of Survey Methodology
The idea of conducting a survey is deceptively simple. It involves identifying a
specific group or category of people and collecting information from some of
them in order to gain insight into what the entire group does or thinks; however,
undertaking a survey inevitably raises questions that may be difficult to answer.
How many people need to be surveyed in order to be able to describe fairly
accurately the entire group? How should the people be selected? What
questions should be asked and how should they be posed to respondents? In
addition, what data collection methods should one consider using, and are some
of those methods of collecting data better than others? And, once one has
collected the information, how should it be analyzed and reported? Deciding to
do a survey means committing oneself to work through a myriad of issues each
of which is critical to the ultimate success of the survey
