DESCRIPTION:Objective. Survey tools are a common approach to gathering data
  on experiences and opinions\, particularly in psychosocial disciplines an
 d public healthcare. In working across language and culture with First Nat
 ions peoples\, the use of surveys can be challenging\, particularly in rem
 ote community settings. Via secondary analysis of audio recorded surveys w
 ith First Nations mothers we examined conversation occurring between the i
 nterviewer and participant during survey administration\, to explore impli
 cations for the design\, delivery\, and data quality of quantitative surve
 ys.\nMethod. Content analysis was applied to 27 audio recorded interviews 
 to determine the function of dialogue occurring between researcher and par
 ticipant. Initial coding of seven transcripts provided the basis for a cod
 ing structure for hypothesis coding of the remaining interviews.\nResults.
  Dialogue between the researcher and the participant predominantly occurre
 d to 1. ensure accurate data via ‘facilitating participant understanding 
 of the item’ and ‘specifying participant response to the item’. Though 
 less frequent\, equally important was a process of 2. building connection 
 and understanding via dialogue initiated by the interviewer to ‘explore p
 articipant context’ and dialogue initiated by the participant to ‘share 
 personal narratives.’ \nConclusions. Findings have implications for the d
 esign of surveys\, particularly providing space for dialogue. Doing so req
 uires more time\, and consequently resources\, when conducting surveys wit
 h First Nations peoples in remote communities. This mixed-method approach 
 has potential to better the accuracy of data gathered and mitigate the ris
 k of missing responses. Despite reliance in survey research on carefully f
 ramed items and Likert scales that typify administration and psychometric 
 thinking\, in remote First Nations contexts\, social interactions that acc
 ompany survey administration represent a process of meaning-making\, where
  the aim is to come to mutual agreement on item responses that 'best fit' 
 the participant.
