Hello!

What kind of researcher posts a five-question-questionnaire on Lemmy? I’m not a professional researcher or anything, just someone looking to do research in this area. I thought there might be people on Lemmy who wanted to share their story or experiences.

Who are you and who employs you? What is your agenda? I am cman6. I’m not comfortable disclosing person information about my employer. I stated my agenda… “The research project we are working on is looking into all aspects of food banks from someone deciding to donate, to storing the donations, to people receiving them, and seeing if there is some way to improve what is being donated and/or the quantities.”

Is this an undergraduate thesis? Nope

Where else did you post your questionnaire? Are you accounting for selection bias? This is the only place I’ve posted it so far. I’m not accounting for selection bias. I’m just looking for anecdotal information.

Why do you not use a questionnaire service like survey monkey? I just thought this would be faster. Plus I wanted to keep things informal.

These are all yes/no questions and no questions regarding background, sex, age, income, etc. What kind of conclusions do you think you will be able to draw from that? Well I don’t have any experience going to a food bank so I was hoping to gather a general idea of what that might be like.

Cheers!
