keep it short and keep it too closed questions. if you use open questions you are going to find it extremely difficult to collate your answers.

If you are looking to create a market research survey questionnaire, there are a number of sites that offer sample questionnaires. You can pick the questions that would be most suited to the type of research you are doing\n\nSteps in Preparing Online Surveys http://www.surveyconsole.com/console/showArticle.do?section=1\nSurvey templates http://www.surveyconsole.com/console/showLibrary.do\nhttp://www.marketresearchworld.net/\nhttp://www.questionpro.com/survey-questions.html

discuss it with the sponsor - they may have some ideas of how to do it - or might have restrictions on what you can record

I think it depends on who they are. A physician might seek out questions about health and nutrition, however I think most people just refresh the home page until they find a question that appeals to them.

in my opinion, th emajor drawbacks of focus groups are that their results have what is known as high "face-value" validity because participants' comments sound so believable. In fact, the results may appear so believable that the researcher's tendency is to rush out and put the focus group's recommendations into action without further investigation. The best plan is to wait and, before adopting specific programmatic strategies, take the time to do additional research and look for back-up of the results in the literature.\n\nAnother risk is using focus group data to generalize to a larger population. Remember that the group of participants, also known as the sample, does not necessarily reflect the entire population. For that reason, critics say that focus groups are merely an exploratory research tool. For an organization, the real question is: are the data credible enough to use in making decisions?\n\nthe major disadvantages are:\nThe moderator has less control in the group than in an individual interview. Because individual group members can influence the course of discussion, it is not always possible to know if data reflect the behavior and perceptions of individual participants or the group.\n\nBecause focus groups are held in an arranged or controlled setting, participants may behave differently than in private interviews, and this may affect what is expressed.\n\nData are difficult to analyze. Be careful not to lift comments out of context or sequence or come to premature conclusions.\n\nThe technique requires carefully trained interviewers. While an untrained moderator can achieve remarkable results it is far better to influence the odds by using skilled people.\n\nBecause each focus group is different and has its own characteristic, you must take each group on its own terms; there is no cookbook method for working with the groups.\n\nDepending on the available staff support, recruiting participants can be a difficult and time consuming process.\n\nThe discussion must be conducted in an environment that is conducive to con-versation. To attract the types of people you want, you may need to provide incentives to ensure that participants will come to the meeting.

Try going to google and put a few words in reference to your question, to narrow down the 1000's of respondents, add or change wording to narrow down to see something that you may want to work with or through...\n\nGood Luck!

You could try adding one more duty for employees currently in training to perform. Draw up a list of 3 or 4 questions asking for solutions to a hypothetical problem or proposals for a new project based on the subject of your choice. Post the list once a week or time period of your preference and have the employees choose a subject of their choice and turn in a written answer. The best solutions or proposals will be awarded a bonus or reward of some type, to be decided by you. This will offer incentive to use the training department library for research.

Help with application forms would be a good idea.  Questions are not always clearly set out or are so general that they can be difficult to answer.

A Survey can be useful if the questions are meaningful and people actually complete them honestly and then that they actually return them.\n\nI would say about 20% returned is good.\n\nThe ones which are short, to the point and have some incentive get returned. But these don't always provide the info you are looking for, especially if you want detailed data.\n\nYou need to weigh this against your goals and objective. You should have other means to obtain the data, such as Interviews, Someone observing and recording or test data.\n\nAnother approach for a survey, is to have a captured audiance such as at a school or an event which has a mix of people you want to survey.

Differs by state, so you'll have to do your own research.  It's not hard to do.  Why don't you try it.

The Department of Agriculture can give you the information free of charge. Be advised, the supplement amounts are doses and the intake of food is a normal amount derived at as per age, weight, and body type. Since your question is asked in a different way than I have heard it before, I can only give you basic information\nThere are other factors that are thrown into the mix; there may be certain foods some of the test subjects can not eat; either due to the food causing illness, as well as religious groups. Many things are left up to common sense.

I'd say they're rather limited at this point, judging by the quality of your question. And that's not to judge you, personally, as the previous responder shows that your question offers nothing of substance.
