Paper-and-Pencil Format

Ordering:

Scannable paper-and-pencil questionnaire and screener forms are purchased from NutritionQuest, administered to study subjects, and then returned to our office for processing. Questionnaire/screener forms may be purchased in any quantity. Portion-size pictures are provided for use with food frequency questionnaires, to assist subjects in making accurate description of food quantities.

See the Price Schedule below for purchase and processing of paper-and-pencil forms. If you would like a quote for total cost to purchase and process questionnaires/screeners, which includes cost of shipping and handling, please contact us. Purchases are non-returnable and non-refundable.

To order, contact us at sales@nutritionquest.com or (510) 704-8514.

Processing:

Completed questionnaire/screener forms are to be shipped back to NutritionQuest for processing, which includes electronic scanning, computer analysis and editing of scanned data.

Instructions for preparing and shipping questionnaires for processing are contained in the Processing Checklist form. Please return a completed copy with each batch of questionnaires/screeners submitted for processing.

Charges for processing depend on the size of batch. See the Price Schedule below. If you have fewer than 20 questionnaires overall, or if you need them processed in batches of fewer than 20, please contact us for pricing.

Results of analysis are returned to the researcher in the form of electronic files, along with completed questionnaires. To obtain more information about file format and content, please contact us. For selected FFQs researchers can obtain an additional electronic file containing formatted individual nutrition reports to share with subjects. See the Sample Nutrition Report.

Quality Control:

Questionnaire forms must be completed in soft-leaded pencil (No. 2). Responses filled out in ink will be treated by our electronic scanner as though they are "missing." The scanner will only "read" answers bubbled in using pencil; it will ignore bubbles marked with an ink pen.

Respondent identification (ID) numbers are used as the primary identifier on data records returned to you. Each questionnaire needs a unique respondent identification number in order to associate a given respondent's questionnaire booklet with their data record.

Delivery Time:

Three weeks is our standard turn-around time for return of results.

Rush Service (one week):

$100 (flat rate) for batches of 1 to 50 questionnaires; at rate of $2 per questionnaire for batches of 51 or more.

Shipping:

UPS 3-day service (normal); UPS 2-day service is available on request and provided at cost.

Handling:

Charged at 10% of shipping cost, minimum of $5.

Electronic Format

NutritionQuest's Data-on-Demand System is an online integrated system for data collection, nutrient and physical activity analysis, and data management.

Setting up an online account:

To begin the process of setting up an online account, please contact us to discuss the requirements of your project, including which questionnaire or screener you plan to use, how many subjects are anticipated, how many times the survey instrument will be administered to each subject, and the duration of data collection period (i.e., number of months the account is to be maintained for active data collection and analysis). We will prepare a licensing agreement for online use of the selected NutritionQuest survey instrument.

NutritionQuest will provide an Internet address (URL) for accessing the survey instrument. Once given their assigned login information, subjects can go online, login and complete the questionnaire or screener at their convenience. Results are available almost immediately because the analysis program is operating simultaneously. For most survey instruments, you have the option of sharing a printable report with subjects upon completion of questionnaire/screener.

To administer the online account you will have access to a separate URL at which to login to the "Group Admin" web page for your account. At this web page you will be able to do things like add user accounts and/or modify user login information, view user accounts to determine whether questionnaires have been completed, enter and resume any incomplete questionnaires, and download results.

The fee structure for using survey instruments in electronic format is different from that for paper-and-pencil format. Three types of charges are involved:

  • Initial account set-up fee.
    Charged for setting up investigator's secure, password protected online account.

  • Monthly account maintenance fee.
    Charged for the period this account is maintained for active data collection and analysis.

  • Administration/analysis fee.
    Charged on a per administration basis, this fee is for use of questionnaire/screener, online analysis and editing, as well as production of formatted, printable reports.

Price Schedule for Paper-and-Pencil Format

Scannable questionnaire/screener forms may be purchased in any quantity. Purchases are non-returnable and non-refundable. Cost of processing questionnaire and screener booklets or forms depends on batch size. Shipping and handling are extra. If you are sending a small batch of questionnaires/screeners for processing, please call for pricing.

For most FFQs researchers can obtain an additional electronic file (pdf) containing formatted individual nutrition reports to share with subjects. See Sample Nutrition Report Generating this file adds $0.50 per respondent to cost of processing.
