Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using an in-person survey, compared to a self-administered survey and a telephone survey
What will be an ideal response?
In-person interview advantages—response rates are higher than with any other survey design; questionnaires can be complex, with both open-ended and closed-ended questions and frequent branching patterns, the order in which questions are read and answered can be controlled by the interviewer, the physical and social circumstances of the interview can be monitored, and respondents' interpretations of questions can be probed and clarified; in-person interview disadvantages—special hazards due to the presence of an interviewer, more expensive, and trained staff needed to do the interviews; self-administered survey advantages—cheaper and can reach more people within the population; self-administered survey disadvantages—low response rate and the hazard of incomplete response (skipping questions); telephone survey advantages—cheaper and can reach more people than in-depth interviews; telephone survey disadvantages—may not be reaching the proper sampling units and not getting enough complete responses to make the results generalizable.
