How to Conduct a Household Survey
Course Summary
How to Conduct a Household Survey is the first phase of the community research skills development that is initially required to become an APRA Peer Researcher. Peer Researchers who have completed the training and the survey work will have the opportunity to become members of APRA and continue their training in different types of research activities. In this way, they can widen their repertoire of research skills and experience in order to undertake a diverse range of community research projects.
