Survey Methods

Survey methods are ways to collect information from a group of people about their opinions, behaviors, or knowledge. Common types include questionnaires, interviews, and online polls. Surveys can be conducted in person, over the phone, or via the internet. Researchers design surveys to ask specific questions that help them understand trends or gather data for studies. The results can inform decisions in various fields, such as business, healthcare, and social sciences, by providing insights into public attitudes or needs. Properly designed surveys ensure the data collected is reliable and representative of the larger population.
