Back to Proposal

Still need to figure out, how do I get my sample? How many surveys do I need to get back? I still think my sample should be child welfare workers in urban settings.

I would hope to get at least 200 surveys completed. So that would mean I need to distribute 800? More?

I need to line up at least 3 child welfare agencies to agree to be surveyed.

And then hope that promises to cooperate lead to real cooperation!

To encourage response, I should offer a social exchange of some sort. A chance to get a book? A $10 coupon to ZERO TO THREE's Press? Or perhaps to Borders or Barnes and Noble? Limit that to the first 100 respondents so I can control costs? Have to make these decisions and also see if I can find grant funding to help with some of the expenses, travel, incentives, etc.
