Help for my TESU Capstone Please!

[Sparklette]

I am working in my Capstone now and I can use any suggestions you may have on collecting data. My paper is on a police, social media, and building trust. I am examining community sentiment on transparency through communication and the role social media plays. I would love to collect a few hundred responses to a few brief questions.

Drafting the questions has proven difficult, but once that is set, I will then need to get it out to the masses. I am going to start with Nextdoor and a few other forums and of course reach out to my friends on Facebook and Twitter, but are there any other suggestions short of standing outside my local grocery store?

Beyond friends on Facebook, you might want to consider groups relevant to your topic. But if you choose, say the FB page for supporting your local police department, maybe try to balance it with a second group that focuses on corruption or negative aspects in some way. This would also allow you to talk about the differences of responses from the groups if you included a question on the survey about belonging to the groups. Also, you’d want to contact the group admin to make sure they are okay with you distributing the survey in the group if you go that route.
