Abstract:
|
Logistical challenges and limited resources for field experimentation often stand as major impediments to testing improvements in survey methodology, but other approaches are available for introducing and evaluating change on a gradual basis. This case study describes how the principles of action research were used to introduce more standardized interviewing into a survey that had completely relied on a conversational interviewing approach for many years. The advantages and disadvantages of standardized vs. conversational interviewing are discussed in this context.
