I'm about to reach 200. So I'm just about half way

So glad to see the responses rolling in! Thank you everyone for the support! About to hit the 200 responses marker (very exciting stuff) :) @Cave Johnson so sorry that you haven't been able to participate...the ultimate purpose of the study is to see what happens to your tobacco smoking once...

Hi everyone, many of you have completed my online survey already- thank you so much to those who have. To those who haven't, please click on the link below and complete the survey which is basically about e-cig experience. I am conducting the research study as part of my academic requirements...

@Coco the questions have been changed since then, even though there was a question which allowed the option of "no longer smoke cigarettes", I have adjusted it so that the questions are as obvious as possible to participants. And the take-up is not bad at all, I'm just pressed for time so I need...

Hi @Silver, it's still the same survey. Just trying to put out fresh threads to get more responses (new members and people who haven't seen the other threads). Perhaps if I post it again I will mention that it's the same survey just to prevent confusion.

Hi everyone, I've got an online survey running and need about 350 participants. The research is being conducted as part of my academic year so I REALLY need as many responses as possible for the results to be significant! Participants need to be current e-cig users living in SA. I don't need...

Yes their survey has two samples. They distinguish between ex smokers and current smokers. I do not have the time window to conduct such an in depth study to have separate sample groups so I have tried to obtain the info from one sample. Question 21 allows you the option to select that you no...

A screenshot of the methods section of Dawkins article. Read point C carefully. Clearly discusses what they did with the Fagerstrom

Where was it adapted? In what published research? Dawkins did not adapt it for vaping. In their survey the Fagerstrom is adapted to past tense because it was used on the ex smokers sample. It was used to assess nicotine dependence in people who previously smoked tobacco. The questions still ask...

I am well acquainted with that particular survey as it was the main inspiration for the design of my survey. I am actually literally using the questions from their survey hence why I cannot change it. A careful read through however will show you that they refer to the questionnaire as Fagerstrom...

Thing is I can't just take any old survey example because it has to be standardised to a South African population, it needs reliability and validity scores. This is why I have chosen these measures to obtain the information I need. This is quantitative research so I still need to statistically...

And also...the results so far are looking quite positive actually :)

I understand your point and I think perhaps we share the same frustration because I do not smoke cigarettes anymore either. However, questions 21-26 are from an official measure used to elicit information regarding nicotine dependence. This measure has not been adapted to vaping. As I've said...

Thanks for the feedback. The reasons for the questions being the way that they are is because there are currently no official measures to actually apply to vaping because vaping research is still very fresh. I understand though because I myself am a vaper. But I cannot change the questions I...

Trying to get participants (SA vapers) to complete my online survey [academic research]

Not sure how this works but I've got an online survey running and need about 350 participants. The research is being conducted as part of my academic year so I REALLY need as many responses as possible for the results to be significant! Participants need to be current e-cig users living in SA. I...
