Mary Ann and I have discussed this by private email. While I agree
that there is more information we would like, for this study
to be helpful it must have high rates of return--that is, it
must not be so long nor intrusive that it provokes the recipient
to throw it in the trash. I put it through my busy PI test--
I'm in the middle of writing a grant and teaching. How much time
would I be willing to put into a questionnaire from strangers?
I think that it would be reasonable to send the short form, and
ask if the returner would be willing to answer a longer form. But
I feel strongly that we not make this a burden because if only a
few people return it, we have no statistical significance and
have accomplished very little by our efforts.
