• Statistical Treatment of Survey Adoption Data

  2012-01-17 10:30:30 UTC

  We have conducted a written survey of conservation practice adoption here in the Central Valley of CA similar to the sort of effort described in the CBSM workshop we attended and also in the introductory book by Doug McKenzie-Mohr. We now have the data and are attempting to compile it for further analysis and interpretation. Has anyone any tips or suggestions for how to now proceed in terms of the specific statistical analyses that the book briefly describes but doesn't go into much detail with? Has anyone actually used the survey technique coupled with the follow-up statistical analysis presented in the "Fostering Sustainable Behavior" book? Might anyone provide any citable literature links or references that describe in detail the specific statistics and approach to use for conservation practice adoption survey data? We would very much welcome some forum discussion and feedback on this important issue and would greatly appreciate any leads or suggestions folks might share with us.
  
  Thank you.

• Conservation Tillage: Survey Questions

  2010-12-12 10:00:50 UTC

  December 11, 2010
  
  We participated in a recent CBSM Workshop in Sacrament, CA and came away convinced we'd do better to try to follow the general plan and rationale that was presented. Toward this end, over the last several years, we've developed a good strong case for the benefits of conservation tillage systems here in California and are now eager to do more to survey the barriers that exist to more widespread adoption. We're thus looking for any sorts of survey question templates, designs and actualy question text that others have used that might help us. If anyone has any survey instruments you'd be willing to share and allow us to borrow, we'd be most grateful.
  
  Thanks.
