Introductory Statement |
|
|||
|
Before any survey, interview or other Research Instrument can be administered,
& before the Confidentiality Statement is presented for assent, an Introductory Statement must be given to the potential Subject |
|
|||
|
Intro letter should pt to the imp of the research
& appeal should appeal to respondents' altruism |
|
|||
|
Such an appeal is more effective than implying that the respondent
has something to gain by answering the questionnaire |
|
|||
|
Inclusion of a "reward" --a pen or small amount of money improves
rate of response more because it is a token of researcher's appreciation than because of its intrinsic value |
