Synopsis

How can a survey be designed more effectively? What is the purpose of the survey - to describe, compare or predict a response? By answering these questions through explanations and demonstrations, How to Design Surveys offers guidelines for experimental designs of surveys, as well as of cross-sectional, cohort and case-control designs, and provides checklists of risks to avoid for internal and external validity.
