Respondent-centred design is key for all surveys but particularly for self-completion surveys incl online. High break-off rates suggest initial interest/willingness from the participant which then disappears. Find out how to reduce the risk of break-offs in your web survey.
Places are available on @NatCen's online course Respondent Centred Surveys: Putting Respondents at the Heart of #SurveyDesign. The course takes place on 27-28 April 2023 and is led by @e_dickinson1, @lau_wils and @JodArdenne. Learn more and register: ncrm.ac.uk/training/show.php…
