Overview

Qualtrics is a robust, sophisticated service for creating and delivering web-based surveys. With over 100 question types available and the ability to create interactive questions and engage survey-takers with rich media, it becomes possible to increase response rates. Users can also pull questions from professionally designed surveys as well as create your own library of questions, surveys, messages, and media.

Survey data can be analyzed as it is collected and researchers can pre-create reports with graphs, charts, and tables that populate in real time. Likewise, data can be exported into SPSS, Excel, or a variety of other formats for additional analysis. Furthermore, Qualtrics reports can be exported to PowerPoint, Word, or as a PDF file to use in presentations, reports, and research writing.

Note: All faculty who move an IRB approved survey from Survey Monkey or other survey tool to Qualtrics must get IRB approval for the study again, even if nothing changes in question wording, order of questions, flow of the survey, etc.

All study data will be collected through an online survey-collection program called Qualtrics. Qualtrics is a secure site with SAS 70 certification for rigorous privacy standards. Any data that you provide through this program will be encrypted for security purposes using Secure Socket Layers (SSL). Only the study investigators will have access to the data on Qualtrics.

• Reminder: Survey research involves human subjects. Therefore, you need to contact the UF Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and complete the appropriate forms for approval prior to launching a survey. This is true for student use of Qualtrics as well as for UF graduate students and faculty engaged in research.

• All faculty who move an IRB approved survey from Survey Monkey or other survey tool to Qualtrics must get IRB approval for the study again, even if nothing changes in question wording, order of questions, flow of the survey, etc.
