Surveys fail when you don't track who answered and who didn't. Questionnaires fail when questions are ambiguous, biased, or leading. Keep survey design and questionnaire wording separate to avoid these traps.
So when I'm talking about a survey, which is the process, what are some risks that I face and need to talk about and explain in my document? Who had access to the survey? Who responded? What people or types of people or respondents didn't participate? Questionnaire-level risks become: Was the wording ambiguous? Were the questions biased? Did we get asked questions in a way that give us the answers they want? You don't want questions like that. In pure research, we want to know the actual answers. not answers that are programmed ahead of time. Have I used poor measurements or constructs as part of my questionnaire? Keep your survey design and your questionnaires separate in your mind, but also in what you're writing about, and you'll have a lot fewer problems.
