Hi,
I am working on a public health research project which is based on paper based interviews. I am trying to figure out whether i can design a database in Qualtrics on to which i could enter the paper based data (myself) and export it later to a statistical program like SPSS or STATA for analysis. Far as i understand, Qualtrics is a survey tool that sends out your designed survey questionnaire to several email recipients, who fill it out and return it back to you. but can it be manipulated to work in the way i am trying to?
I am more familiar working with MS Access and Epidata when it comes to designing databases, this software is completely new to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Faraz.
Hi Faraz,
Based on your description, Qualtrics can be made to do the work you need it to do. You can set up an anonymous survey with a generic link, which would essentially just be a form with your questions. You could repeatedly fill out and submit the survey yourself as many times as you need to. Qualtrics allows for your data to be exported as an .XLS or .SAV (SPSS) file.
Hope this helps!
Mike
Hi Faraz,
Michael's answer is correct. I would add that with Qualtrics you can set up a survey so that when one is completed (i.e., transfer a paper instance to a Qualtrics instance), the website will redirect to the beginning of a new survey (as if you were using a tablet device to collect responses in the field).
Hope this helps.
