Survey research carried out in international settings and in comparative cross-cultural contexts presents a set of unique methodological challenges. This presentation will showcase two resources facilitated by the Survey Research Center International Unit at the University of Michigan which are freely available for use by researchers and survey practitioners. The first resource (Noon-1:00 PM) is a series of online video short courses which provide introductory and foundational background for topics related to key stages of the survey life cycle and challenges faced in international surveys. The second resource (1:15 PM – 2:15 PM) is the Cross-Cultural Survey Guidelines, developed to promote internationally recognized best practices for the design and implementation of multinational, multicutural, and multiregional (3MC) surveys, covering all stages of the survey life cycle.
