Draft a Survey

Part 1:

Public health is a very serious and sensitive issue and needs immediate attention especially in the case of larger countries with bigger populations (Hanson, & Gluckman, 2015). Such countries usually face multiple issues related to healthcare management and require upfront solutions for these problems. A similar scenario can be seen in the case of Australia which is a big country with a population of about 25.09 million (Paris, 2017).

The governments of different countries adopt various approaches to address these issues related to healthcare and safety. Australia is one of those countries that take the healthcare and safety of its citizens very seriously. It has thus devised and implemented various policies which ensure the maximum coverage of healthcare issues of its residents. In addition to this, the government also keeps a regular check and balance on these approaches so that their efficiency and effectiveness can be judged and appropriate changes can be made in them. One of the best ways to do so is to collect data through the survey method.

There are two kinds of people in any country regarding healthcare sector: those who like to use the utilities provided by the government of that and those who do not utilize these services. The best source for obtaining the data for both the kinds of groups is the local government-run hospital or the local community center. Survey method is best suited in such scenarios because it provides detailed information about the inclination levels of the population living in a specific area or location. The sampling technique used for this approach would be random sampling and data would be collected from two random groups using the facilities in different medical centers. The limitation that may occur in recruiting the participants for this survey or study is the reservations provided by the medical centers in providing the data of the patients. This limitation is clearly justified because the patients’ data in any medical facility or center is the private and confidential information that has been provided to it by the patients after putting a great level of trust in the management of the facility.

Part 2:

The following survey is intended to collect general and demographic information regarding the opinion of the general public about the measures taken by the government in the area of healthcare and safety. We guarantee complete confidentiality of your information and ensure that the results of this survey will only be used for the purpose of research and improvement of the healthcare practice in your area. Kindly choose the most appropriate answer out of all the available options.
