People who were leafleted but ignored it and don’t remember enough to answer this one accurately is a problem here.
Ah my wording might not be quite clear in that section, ideally the question would rely on the surveyors knowledge of who was leafleted and who was not, without the students having to remember if they were leafleted. E.g. if the leafleting was split by college, asking what college they were from.
Then later put surveys in the boxes, with different links for odd and even boxes.
A reason I would push for trying to get a survey emailed out is that a previous study on leafleting that attempted to use QR codes or links on leaflets got an extremely low (about 2% if I remember correctly) response rate.
I am not sure if giving out the surveys desperately later would boost the response rate, I think the added inconvenience of having to type in a web address or scan a QR code would significantly damage the response rate.
Still it would be worth bearing in mind as strategy that could currently be implemented at any university that allowed mass-leafleting, without being able to email all students.
