- What is the purpose of the survey design?
- What were the research questions?
- Is the type of survey identified (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal)? If not, can you infer the type of survey being used in the study?
- Is the population size mentioned? Was the population stratified, and if so, how? Is the sample size mentioned? On what basis was the sample size chosen?
- What types of questions were used in the survey instrument? What are the scales?
- What type of sampling strategy did the researchers use to recruit participants (e.g., random, non-random)?
- What was the response rate of the survey? (For this you need to know how many in the population and how many actually responded).
- What type of survey instrument did the researchers use? Who developed the instrument?
- If the researchers created their own survey, was it pilot- or field-tested?
- What was the timeline and procedures for administering the survey?
- How were the measures scored and converted into variables?
- How were the variables used to test the research questions? (To answer this question, you need to identify the variables being studied).
- What were the specific steps taken in data analysis?
