This resource is intended to support people planning visitor studies in thinking through the successful implementation of context-sensitive data collection. The core of the workbook is a series of "weigh stations" to help you reflect on our suggested considerations for study planning: the Utility of different methods for responding to your needs, the Capacity needed to carry out the study, possible Intersections with other activities, and Care for people. This resource also includes a worksheet to document your study context, a worksheet to help you respond to key questions, and some sample scenarios you can use for extra practice.
