An introductory, in-person workshop at the University of Leeds.

This introductory workshop, planned by the WRDTP’s Advanced Quantitative Methods (AQM) Training Team and delivered by Dr Peter King from the University of Leeds, will cover the ‘ABCDE’ of survey research:

A: Analysis: we start with the eventual analysis in mind!

B: Build: Items, scales, ordering and general approaches to survey development;

C: Check: Pre-testing approaches and rationale;

D: Deploy: Survey companies, sampling frames;

E: Ethics, data-sharing, open-science sharing of surveys and anonymised response data.

The main part of the workshop will take place from 10:00-12:00, followed by lunch and a networking opportunity until 13:00. The programme will include some discussions and/or group activities.

Outcomes:

Participants will gain knowledge and confidence in questionnaire design, sampling methods, deploying surveys and thinking of survey research projects from start to finish.
