Q: What are questionnaire surveys?

A questionnaire includes a series of questions used to gather information from a group of respondents. Such surveys can be used for either qualitative or quantitative analysis depending on the type of questions being asked. Depending on your key question and subject area, you can either use pre-validated questionnaires or modify existing questionnaires to suit your specific objectives for carrying out this research. Once you gather the responses, you can then assess the responses and perform statistical analysis if required for appropriate interpretations for the survey population. Such surveys help in gathering and assessing information from small or large populations of respondents
