| Popis: | One of the main obstacles for survey researchers—especially those conductingsurveys in difficult contexts such as postconflict areas—is accessingrespondents. In order to address this problem, this article draws on anongoing research project to reflect on the utility of mobile phones to connectwith hard-to-access populations in conflict affected, low-incomecountries. It considers the strengths and weaknesses of a number of differentmobile phone survey modes. The article goes a step further and discusseshow (potential) survey respondents can be included in the survey designprocess thereby increasing the relevance of the research to them andhopefully encouraging them to participate. We conclude by considering theissue of “good enough” methodologies, or the need to balance methodologicalrigor with an understanding of the exigencies of suboptimal researchcontexts.1 |
