Welcome to BIRAT. This site provides tools to create and analyze online survey instruments. Most item types are supported and the data is organized so that you can export it for further analysis with tools like Excel and SPSS. While BIRAT is fully functional, it is also under development. Please visit from time-to-time to see what has been added.
