About this title

Synopsis

"This volume is both a survey reporting reference for professionals and a learning tool for students at the undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels. It is well written, well organized, and has a strong theoretical foundation without bogging down the reader. It is highly practical and provides concrete, tangible examples of how surveys should be responsibly, clearly, and professionally reported . . . . I particularly like the checklist, ′′Checklist of Contents for a Survey Report." "

--Chris Hafner-Eaton, Department of Public Health, Oregon State University

From learning about your listeners to how to prepare more effective figures and graphs, How to Report on Surveys shows you how to prepare more effective verbal and written survey reports. The volume includes guidelines for preparing overhead transparencies and a step-by-step account of how to talk about a survey and the data analysis. It also illustrates how to prepare written reports for both technical and general audiences.
