College E-cig survey

[Krakkan]

[FONT="]Truesmoker and a few other suppliers are assisting the student with a survey. Below is a survey of ecig users if have time please take a look and help us with it.


Dear Electronic Cigarette User,

My name is Kyle Varner, and I am a researcher at the American University of Antigua College of Medicine. We are conducting a survey of users of electronic cigarettes to determine if and how they affect the smoking of analogue cigarettes.

Your participation in this survey will help further medical and scientific understanding of electronic cigarettes. This survey should take no more than five minutes of your time. We are collecting no personal data, so you confidentiality is 100% assured.

If you can spare five minutes to answer our questions, we would be very appreciative.
Here is a link to the survey:

When I got to this question

In what situations do you still smoke analogue cigarettes?

there wasn't an option for not smoking at all so I couldn't answer it and it wouldn't let me continue with the survey.

 

[bikergirl1908]

Hey Jules,

I left it blank because I don't smoke analogs anymore either. There were a couple of questions kind of like that that i left blank and continued on. There were whole sections that didn't apply to me like the one for people who never smoked analogs before but vape...I just left them blank and hit next.

 

[Jules22871]

How odd. I tried it three different times and it wouldn't let me go on.

 

[bikergirl1908]

I just tried to access it again but it tells me "Thanks for taking the survey. Now create your own."

Sorry you weren't able to complete it.

 

[Proverb]

Took the survey but... that survey is very, very poorly formed . But gotta start somewhere so hope it helps

 

[dubnluvn]

Wow, I was just going to state the opposite. I thought the survey was very well done and thorough. I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

 

[DVS]

Took it! I just hope this survey comes out as something positive for us vapers.

When I got to the question that asked me again when I began smoking, I realized that I was in a section set aside for people who quit smoking BEFORE they began using the e-cigarette. The survey was flawed in that it should have routed you to the appropriate sub-groupings of questions based on earlier responses and skipped those groups that did not apply.

I am not sure when we will see results from Antigua. I have access to experts in public health who conduct statistically valid surveys all the time. If I put together a survey with their help, would you all be willing to take it?

 

[ckc]

Taken.....Vocalek i'd be happy to take any survey i can find on them!

 

[yanorox]

Took it.


Extra character so I can submit reply.

 

[bugeater]

Taken! However, the data would be more valuable if there was some sort of registration process first. Looks like any bonehead can take it and screw up the data.

Hello, I find that this survey has a few loaded questions, or at least it's missing some answers applicable to many vapers.

For example, "5. How has your use of electronic cigarettes affected your desire for conventional cigarettes?" I don't see an option to say I used to crave them, but do not anymore. Saying I never craved them would be lying, but saying I do now significantly less implies that I still do. If I admitted to craving them, I would also be saying that I still do with no affect, same with saying I never craved them.

I'm not trying to discredit the survey, but there should have been a few precautions made to avoid such loaded questions.
