The International Handbook of Survey Methodology opens
with the foundations of survey design, ranging from sources of
error, to ethical issues. This is followed by a section on design
that reviews sampling challenges and tips on writing and testing
questions for multiple methods. Part three focuses on data
collection, from face-to-face interviews, to Internet and
interactive voice response, to special challenges involved in
mixing these modes within one survey. Analyzing data from both
simple and complex surveys is then explored, as well as
procedures for adjusting data. The book concludes with a
discussion of maintaining quality.
