Once a questionnaire has been constructed, the next steps include developing sampling procedures, administering the questionnaire, calculating response rates, and conducting a nonresponse bias check or comparing data to census information about the population (and weighting data if necessary). We compared and contrasted various sampling strategies (e.g., random, systematic, stratified, cluster), and then discussed steps for implementing different survey methods (e.g., on-site, telephone, mail, email, Internet, Internet panels). Each method has advantages and disadvantages. For example, when researchers are interested in fishers’ perceptions of specific experiences and locations, on-site surveys may be the only alternative. Telephone surveys offer rapid data collection, but are costly, often have low response rates, and cannot accommodate complex questions or long questionnaires. Mail surveys allow for longer and more complex questions, but are also costly and take time to complete. Email and Internet surveys are attractive because of the low cost and rapid data collection, but tend to have low response rates and difficulty in obtaining email addresses for general population surveys. Internet panels involve self-selected individuals who are usually paid to complete questionnaires, but these are usually based on nonprobability samples. We also discuss strategies for increasing response rates, performing nonresponse bias checks, and weighting data.
