from patients in different medical and safety contexts. It helps you to
gather primary and secondary data about medical conditions and risk
factors of multiple diseases and infections.
•In addition to this, administering health surveys regularly helps you to
monitor the overall health status of your population; whether in the
workplace, school, or community. This kind of data can be used to
help prevent outbreaks and minimize medical emergencies in these
contexts.

5. •Survey research is also useful when conducting polls; whether
online or offline. A poll is a data collection tool that helps you to
gather public opinion about a particular subject from a well-
defined research sample.
•By administering survey research, you can gather valid data
from a well-defined research sample, and utilize research
findings for decision making. For example, during elections,
individuals can be asked to choose their preferred leader via
questionnaires administered as part of survey research.

6. •Customer satisfaction is one of the cores of every organization
as it is directly concerned with how well your product or service
meets the needs of your clients. Survey research is an effective
way to measure customer satisfaction at different intervals.
•As a restaurant, for example, you can send out online surveys
to customers immediately when they patronize your business. In
these surveys, encourage them to provide feedback on their
experience and to provide information on how your service
delivery can be improved.
