Explanation:
I would translate it as "reacciones a los resultados del estudio". 'Survey' can be translated as 'estudio', if it means 'investigation' or 'encuesta' or 'sondeo', if it means 'poll'.

Hope it helps!

Explanation:
I like ffc's suggestion, but I think that by being singular it implies a certain unanimity that may not obtain.

lo siguiente, de diccionarios, aclara mas

feedback
A process in which a system regulates itself by monitoring its own output. That is, it “feeds back” part of its output to itself. Feedback is used to control machines; a heating system, for example, uses a thermostat to monitor and adjust its output. Feedback is also used by the human brain to control various muscles and joints.

• By extension, “feedback” is any response or information about the result of a process. • Feedback is usually a feature of automation. ----------------------------------------
