Survey Development
Surveys can be an effective tool for gathering information to assist
in program planning, service delivery, and evaluation. Knowing what
customers/clients need and value is a key to success for organizations.
We can help you find an existing survey or develop a customized survey
to meet your needs. GLCYD can assist you in every step of survey development
from the initial discussions about data needs to the final data analysis
report.
Some of the key steps to effective survey design include the following
steps:
· Identify the need for a survey
· Select survey methodology
· Identify the target audience and sample
· Identify/create the questions
· Develop the survey process
· Develop & pilot the survey document
· Collect and compile the data
· Analyze the data & compare with other relevant information
· Develop the report
Our research staff will work with your organization to design a successful
survey process. Because survey development is time-intensive and complex,
we can help you determine whether there are less expensive and efficient
ways to get the information you need. If a custom survey is the answer
to your information needs, we utilize a special scanner and software
to create your custom survey. Our fees are determined by the amount
of time and effort required for your project. Scholarship assistance
is available to member organizations with financial need.
