- Description
- 1. Will surveyor complete the form or have the taxi driver complete the form and return while the surveyor waits for completion? Answer: Surveyor will administer questionnaire to keep flow and responses answered correctly. The taxicab driver will NOT complete the form. 2. Would NIOSH consider accepting a quote for an hourly rate per surveyor/study manager instead of estimating how much total time it will take to complete 500 surveys? The main concern is that there may be several hours in a day when there may not be any available taxi drivers to conduct a survey, but our surveyors will still be out there working to find drivers. So, even though the goal might be 8 completed surveys per day for an 8 hour period, only 5 may be completed. Answer: It is by number of completed surveys, which we did with a previous study and that worked well for us. I calculated in the time/budget a non-response of 10%, so 50 participants telling them no. And, in the breakdown I had provided for the other person, which I figured you shared with everyone interested, I budgeted a time of 1 hour per survey to do everything which is VERY generous given each survey takes 30 minutes to complete. So the extra time and expense I budgeted should certainly absorb many refusals through an 8-hour shift. Refusals should not take more than 5-minutes of the surveyor's time - and that is being generous. We will train them to approach the driver, introduce the study, provide verbal consent highlights and at the time the surveyor has an answer of response/refusal. I did the breakdown by numbers of surveys completed and the time that would take with refusal rate of 10%. 3. Follow-up based on answer to previous question: How will we invoice NIOSH for number of hours worked or for number of surveys completed? Answer: Number of surveys, and this can be done weekly or biweekly or monthly, once we receive FedExes. Additional answer to question posted May 21,2014: Will surveyors be provided a daily parking pass for when they need to be at an airport taxi waiting lot or does this cost need to be covered by the contractor? Answer: This is a good question, I have no idea. Tere is an office on campus of the airport with free parking, which is where I parked. This should not be an issue, but I can't give a definitive answer right now. Added on May 22, 2014: Still don't have a response and simply don't know.
