The ASA Survey Review Committee (SRC) reviews and approves surveys of the ASA membership and surveys sponsored by ASA sections and committees. The SRC is charged with maintaining methodological standards, minimizing respondent burden, and ensuring proposed surveys achieve their intended goals. Any survey that the ASA Board, sections, or committees sponsor must be sent through the ASA Survey Review Committee for a review.
To assist ASA sections and committees that are planning surveys, the SRC will hold an open meeting during JSM 2011 on August 3 from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. in Room HQ-Lucina of the Loews Miami Beach Hotel. Members and representatives of ASA sections and committees currently developing a survey or considering one in the near future are encouraged to attend.
During the meeting, SRC members will be available to discuss all aspects of the survey process, including sample selection methods, questionnaire design, survey implementation plans, and data processing and analysis. Representatives should bring any helpful information, such as a current draft or a past survey and an implementation and sample selection plan. Contact the committee chair, Trent Buskirk, at tbuskirk@slu.edu with any questions.
