As I've posted before, a good friend did financial studies - Is it

be constructed to produce any result that you want to produce.

Good friend is quite correct.  Survey can and often are written to
favor a desirable result.  I know, I've done it.  Some example:
 
"Different Types of Survey Bias and How to Avoid Them"
<https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-bias/survey-bias/>
 
"Avoiding biased questions: 7 examples of bad survey questions"
<https://delighted.com/blog/biased-questions-examples-bad-survey-questions>
 
"How to Create a Bad Survey Instrument"
<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5559231/>
Incidentally, every time I visit a doctors office or hospital as a
patient, I receive a survey form via email or text message asking
questions about the visit.  The questions are usually fair, the
choices clear, but there is still a big problem.  They don't ask
questions that reflect my concerns about the visit or medical
practices in general or might reflect badly on the doctor or hospital.
In other words, the omission of important questions and concerns is
just as important as the inclusion of biased questions.

The typical customer survey has questions offering a choice
of three or four irrelevant, inapplicable answers. pfffft.

For medical procedures, I almost always respond and usually add
comments in the appropriate boxes.  I also add my name and phone
number.  I try to answer the questions honestly.  For customer
feedback surveys, I only answer those that provide me with suitable
compensation.  For the other types of surveys, I'll confess to being
random and arbitrary.  Also, I do fill out the census forms every 10
years.

One thing that patients never realize is that hospital don't have a
reliable way of collecting feedback from patients.  At best, the
hospital might get a few complaints about extreme situations.  At
worst, the patient wants nothing more to do with the hospital after
the visit and goes into isolation.  I've had a few bad experiences
that could easily have been corrected had the hospital known that
there was a problem.  When I brought it up with a hospital
administrator, she was rather surprised because nobody else had
complained.  Notice that I said administrator, not doctor.  In today's
hospitals, doctors deal practice medicine while everyone else is in a
support position.  Procedures and policies are set by the
administration, not by doctors and nurses.  The discussion continued
and she explained how the surveys are handled.  I believe that they do
some good, so I fill them out.
