Abstract

Cost-benefit ratios for surveys are related to the congruence between objectives and survey measurement capabilities. A high degree of congruence requires careful matching of objectives and survey design. Thus, emphasis is placed on survey planning and improvement of relationships between survey designs and objectives. The degree of congruence has a significant effect on the efficiency of research and the interpretations and value of results.
