Integrated Data Product Documentation Customer Feedback Survey (IDPF) 2018

INTEGRATED DATA PRODUCT

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

(Researcher)

Introduction

The {fill agency name} would like to have your feedback about your experience using {fill in the integrated statistical product name}. Your participation is important because it will help federal statistical agencies better support users like yourself.


While this survey does ask questions about your assessment of the statistical product, the majority of the survey’s questions ask about your assessment of the product’s documentation. The purpose of the questions is to help federal agencies better understand what consumers need in product documentation.


{name of product} was selected as the topic for these questions because it is an “integrated” data product. An integrated data product is one that merges, mixes, or combines information from different source data to produce a new product (such as a database or an estimate). Examples of these products include national accounts (statistics focusing on the structure and evolution of economies), databases that result from linking survey data to administrative data, or databases created by combining information from multiple surveys.


This survey is administered by General Services Administration (GSA) on behalf of {fill agency name} and should take 30 minutes to complete. You have been provided a unique survey link and can enter the survey as many times as needed until submitted. Please respond by {fill date due}.


The information you share with us will be used only to develop recommendations for how to improve documentation provided for {fill in the integrated statistical product name} and for other federal integrated data products. Your participation is voluntary and the information you provide will not be identified with your name in any information released from this survey.
