Survey and Research Methods Consulting

The goals of the Survey Design Research Lab are to consult on surveys, research approaches for measuring various constructs, and produce best practice reports on a myriad of survey methods.

Currently, the Survey Design Research Lab is compiling a best-practice report on survey response sets. The report aims to compile empirical research on different response sets such as double-barreled items, grids and metrics, check-all-that-apply questions, and slang words within surveys.

Previous best practice reports from the Survey Design Research Lab are: Digital divide review, math enrichment programs, measurement scales for student outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic, math mindset and identity interventions, and response rates.

If you would like a copy of the best practice reports, please contact Jason Siegel.
