Survey Methods: How to Get High Quality Data

This session is designed to help people execute effective surveys by empathizing with survey respondents, writing clear questions, and identifying common patterns in problematic survey responses. It will cover these topics: 1) Should I do a survey? 2) How should I design & deliver my survey? 3) What questions should I ask? and 4) How do I start analyzing my data?
Learning Objectives:

• List key factors in survey design that help achieve high-quality responses and a high response rate.
• Identify common mistakes in question writing that undermine data quality.

Planning and Implementing Your Educational Innovation: Planning the IRB and Your Quantitative Methods

• Consider ethical considerations around establishing trust in medical education and protection of our learners. 
• Consider types of outcomes you can measure and your analytic techniques based on your study design 
• Determine which ethics review category is appropriate for your Institutional Review Board submission, based on your intervention and measured outcomes

Qualitative Methods: How to Analyze Open-Ended Survey Questions

We often gather qualitative data in our surveys, and then wonder "how can I systematically analyze these questions"? In this session, we will explore analytic approaches to qualitative survey data, consider how to themes and/or counts will answer your research questions, and discuss how to apply to your research study. Bring your surveys and medical education ideas as we delve into how to address qualitative survey questions!

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Discuss preliminary analytic considerations
• Describe common analytic approaches to qualitative analysis
• Compare and contrast content and thematic analysis approaches for survey questions
