aerc survey



yesterday we received the 1999 aerc membership survey.  i applaud the
attempt but the results will be skewed because the methodology is poor.
1)  i know questions are optional, however annual income and education
are nobody's business
2)  question '1.' is: Male, Female, Aerc ID number, (small space) and
memberships type: single or family.  the only way the results will be
meaningful is if each individual completes their personal form. for
instance question 8, how long you been riding.  if a family answers the
question, both riders may have different numbers, thus the statistical
results will be skewed.  same as question 11 and many more.
3) question 10 will be skewed if a family answers etc.
4)  all questionnaires returned completed for families will produce many
less than meaningful results
5)  bottom line, the instructions should require each person complete
the own form or some other way to separate results by individuals
(different colored pens to indicate answers) aerc should act immediately
to rectify the situation.
