Christian, I don't know the size of your sample but that sounds like a lot of work on your part to have to personally call every respondent. It also sounds a bit annoying and slightly invasive for the participants. I don't think those are show-stoppers, just things that make me raise my eyebrows, particularly because it requires you to collect respondents' phone numbers. If I were conducting this survey and that were the only reason I was collecting phone numbers, my IRB would probably push back. It's also worth noting that past research indicates that post-survey incentives are typically not effective in increasing response rates. It might be worth exploring other options. Kevin
