Survey research is difficult, but it can provide us with valuable insights into the perceptions, experiences, dispositions, and attitudes of our research participants. Whether understanding patients’ quality of life following intensive surgery, medical students’ perceptions of their abilities throughout their education, or the experiences and concerns of communities coping with disasters, survey research is ubiquitous. However, this methodology carries with it numerous unique challenges not seen in other types of research. This presentation focuses on some key elements, principles, and challenges of survey methodology through discussion of an exemplar study along with some practical considerations and recommendations.
