Quantitative approaches make use of a relatively large number of cases for investigation. Household sample surveys with structured questionnaires are the most commonly used application of quantitative methods in social science. They can be a good way of gathering quantitative information on socio-economic patterns (read more [http://www.endev.info/wiki/index.php/Mixed_Methods#Quantitative_impact_evaluation Quantitative Methods]).<br>Common instruments are: [http://www.endev.info/wiki/index.php/Methoden#Short_Household_Survey Short Household Survey],&nbsp;[http://www.endev.info/wiki/index.php/Methoden#Profound_Household_Survey Profound Household Survey],&nbsp;[http://www.endev.info/wiki/index.php/Methoden#Enterprise_Surveys Enterprise Surveys,]&nbsp;[http://www.endev.info/wiki/index.php/Methoden#Stove_Producer_Surveys Stove Producer Surveys]<span class="mw-headline"><font color="#444444"><font face="Helvetica"> </font></font></span>

Structured sample surveys can be a good source of information regarding quantitative information on the conditions of sampling units [[Image:Interviewer uganda.JPG|right]]such as households, SMEs and social institutions. '''Scheduled-structured interviews''' are the most common form in surveys. The questions, their wording and their sequence are fixed within a structured questionnaire and identical for every responder. Therewith variations between given responses can be attributed to actual differences between the responders and not to variations in the process of interviewing.

Quantitative research produces data in the form of numbers via survey data collection or simulations.<br/>► Please [http://help.energypedia.info/wiki/Edit add further interesting information] and [http://help.energypedia.info/wiki/Link_Articles set internal or external links]<br/>
  
In this context, the most commonly used type of question is the '''standardized question''' in which quantitative information is requested, response categories are specified and/or fixed alternatives supplied.

Beside standardized information, to some extent additional qualitative information can be gathered by the use of '''open questions'''. Open questions allow the responder to answer more freely without limitations by given answers, and can provide interesting additional information. However, analysis of open questions for large samples can be a time-consuming task.
