title: Designing research survey design--Part Two.
abstract: Surveys are essential for discovering the incidence, distribution, and inter-relationship of variables within a population. As such, it is important that we are able to critically read published surveys. This manuscript is the second of two dealing with survey research. This manuscript deals with the advantages and disadvantages of different types of surveys and what the reader should be looking for when reading survey research.
