I have a research study that has a questionnaire for medical residents.
However I am not allowed to directly email the link to them, but can post the link on the social media that residents have access to it:
A- How can I calculate the response ratio since it will not be clear how many residents have seen the link / or received the link as the denominator of the ratio?
B- Is it OK to just post the link in Social media? ( because anybody even a non-resident may go and fill the questionnaire).
Thank you,
AS
dear Ali Seifi you can access the tool which would ease the analysis: https://brand24.com/?gclid=CKekt8Oe-tMCFczJsgod5EwG2A .
Response rate should be defined as the result of expected behaviour, so depending on the answer, the rate would cover:
a) fulfilment of the questionaire
b) publication of the questionaire on the wall
c) sending messages within Facebook (the hardest one to monitor)
d) all of mentioned above.

Thank you Ali Seifi for your question. This is a challenging area. You need to read about ethics and bias in research using social media- including consent, confidentiality, citizen vs abroad participants. Also, how do you know that the person who had completed the questionnaire is not minor? These are the types of questions you will be asked by examiners or peer-reviewers.
