How can ARDEM Help Your Research on Global Warming?

When a researcher at a leading University wanted to collect data from large population base in a major US city she turned to ARDEM to process all the data from paper surveys.

 

Mail surveys sent out to the target population in the city typically cost less than some of the other data collection methodologies. They also are less intrusive allowing the respondent to respond on their own time schedule- no nuisance telephone call as you sit down for your dinner.

This researcher was interested in collecting data about both environmental issues and related health issues. A 16-page survey with a range of single response, multiple response and Likert scale questions were used to collect data responses. Data had to be collected quickly and with 100% accuracy.

Data Entry was required to transcribe the data from the survey instrument. To assure close to 100% accuracy of keyed data two operators keyed the same data. These two data sets were then compared and a third QC operator corrected for any variance in the two data sets. Additional validation rules and skip rules were built into the data collection program to assure high accuracy of data. Any free form data responses underwent a third level quality data check to perform any needed data cleansing.

ARDEM clients send their paper surveys to us for data entry. The surveys are either batched and sent to us, or, mailed directly to our PO Box. Surveys are removed from envelopes and scanned. All data is double-keyed. Quality and data validation checks are performed. Where required open end responses are coded. Final data sets in desired file format is delivered back to the client.
