Five Ways to Use Historical Survey Data to Improve Quality in a Survey
When you find yourself surveying a population where significant information is known about those who are in the study prior to them completing the survey (such as in a longitudinal survey, a panel, or when the respondents are part of a known group such as a membership organization), such data can be used as part of the survey instrument design.
While it is tempting to do whenever possible, when using such data, care should be given to how and when it is used…

9 Reasons Why I Work in Survey Research
Anyone who has been in the field of survey research knows how difficult it is to explain to friends and family what exactly it is we do. I have gotten so caught up with this question sometimes that I forget to consider why I do it – which in its own way helps answer the what question.
So here is why I do it:
