I hate surveys. They're an inaccurate way of garnering information, they're too long and inevitably they do not provide the answer that I want to give.
These days, it seems like every time I turn around, I'm being asked to fill another one out. Order online? Survey. Get my oil changed (no, not THAT way)? Survey. Check out a web site? Survey.
So there is a KY Women's Registry that I have been enrolled in since its inception - probably about 7 or so years ago. This freaking survey is 9 pages long (entirely too long) asking about my health habits.
The only problem is that (1) my name is associated with this registry, so do they really think that anyone is going to answer any question about illegal activities (i.e. drug use) honestly? Particularly if they are employed at said institution? (2) They ask the same questions year after year. The number of siblings that I have is not going to change. The cause of my mother's death is not going to change, etc. At least 1/3 of the survey could be cut if they eliminate the questions where my answers are not going to change.
I did it again this year, and by being in research, I can recognize the importance of these surveys so I contribute. But I'm just about ready to take myself off the list. After many years, I figure I've done my part.
