What is the difference between a survey and a focus group? Can I participate in both?
A survey is normally a page or two of questions. Surveys can range from 5 to 40 questions. They are normally short and take anywhere from a minute to 15 minutes to fill out. Focus groups on the other hand are normally longer forms that can sometimes follow you for a few days about a particular subject. They might ask you a series of questions, receive your response and then ask you another series of questions. Because of this they pay much more. You can participate in surveys, focus groups or both depending on the time you have available.
