Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Data Collection by Survey

Data Collection by Survey

The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

Types of Surveys

Types of Surveys

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

Data Collection II

Data Collection II

The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and family,...

Sample Proportion and Population Proportion

Sample Proportion and Population Proportion

Collecting samples or responses from an entire population takes significant time and effort, so a researcher collects responses from only a sample of that population. Suppose a study needs to collect information about a specific mobile application. After sample collection, the researcher analyzes the data and discovers that most individuals in the sample use that specific mobile application. The sample proportion measures the number of individuals in a sample who either use or don't use the...

Area of Science:

Health Services Research
Health Economics
Program Evaluation

Background:

School-based health programs require consistent cost data for economic evaluations and policy development.
Existing cost data collection methods may not be suitable for both research and operational planning.
The National Assembly on School-Based Health Care (NASBHC) identified a need for a standardized cost survey instrument.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and test an Internet-based survey for collecting comprehensive cost data from school-based health programs.
To create a tool that supports economic evaluations, informs policy, and assists program administrators with planning.
To establish a uniform and consistent method for capturing program costs.

Main Methods:

Development of an economic conceptual framework to guide survey design.
Creation of survey components based on the conceptual framework.
Pilot testing and refinement of the Internet-based survey instrument.
Testing the survey's applicability for both research and program administration.

Main Results:

Successful development and testing of an Internet-based cost survey for school-based health programs.
The survey provides comprehensive, uniform, and consistent cost data.
The instrument is suitable for economic evaluations, policy informing, and internal program planning.

Conclusions:

The developed Internet-based survey is an effective tool for collecting school-based health program cost data.
This survey can be utilized for economic evaluations, policy development, and operational planning by program administrators.
The survey methodology can be adapted for cost data collection in diverse settings.
