Reporting

Minimal number of respondents

If the number of respondents or responses is low, it is not always meaningful to present results.

• respondents: number of people that filled in the questionnaire, perhaps limited to a sub group
• if too few: don't generate a report
• responses: number of people that answered a specific questions, perhaps limited to a sub group
• if too few: don't generate the report element for this question

Types of reporting:

• Open questions: if there are no answers
• show question text nevertheless
• leave out question completely

• Mean tables, frequency tables:
• include answers of small groups in totals
• don't show small groups
• merge small groups
• exclude answers of small groups completely (also from totals)
