This self-completion survey was adopted as an administrative quality control assessment procedure at the six participating institutions.
For example, a self-completion survey may offer greater anonymity and distance, fostering acceptance of structural inequalities amongst respondents.

Although this was a multi-method study, its centrepiece, and the sole source of data for this paper, was a self-completion survey of 1749 17 20-year-olds, 909 males and 840 females.
For example, the SPORTSMART sample data may be subject to greater reporting bias as, although they were collected using an anonymous self-completion survey, the men participated alongside their peers.
Although participation levels did not vary significantly across the panels of different size, the perception of a two-way information exchange, as measured by the post-completion survey questions, was significantly higher in larger than in smaller panels.
Self-completion surveys may result in limited validity due to the lower literacy rates of inmates compared with that of the general population.
Third, the GAZEL study has suffered from attrition, particularly concerning the annual self-completion surveys.
We conducted self-completion surveys in examination-type conditions within seven Scottish Secondary (state-funded, mainstream) schools in early 2010.
