Research Resources: Survey Research

Well-designed survey research enables an investigator to systematically gather, summarize and generate conclusions about data to answer a research question. Often residents choose to conduct a survey to answer a research question. It is important to help the resident understand that, in order to reach valid conclusions, the scientific method must be followed in the design and implementation of survey research.

At the 2006 ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting, Michael Miller, R.Ph., Dr.P.H., of Drake University College of Pharmacy, discussed numerous aspects of survey research, including its purpose and role, important process steps, variable measurement and sample selection.
