INSTRUMENT DESIGN

Well-designed questionnaires, field manuals and other survey instruments are key to providing end users with high-quality data

INSTRUMENT DESIGN COMPONENTS

Tool design considers not only the questionnaire development but also the field manuals, training materials, supervision forms and the list of consistency checks that will be incorporated within the data entry program or the electronic questionnaire.

INVOLVED ACTORS

Developing a questionnaire is an iterative process that must integrate the needs of different actors such as policy makers, international organizations and the implementing agency.

INSTRUMENT DESIGN PHASES

This process features the following stages:

Participating in workshops on the questionnaire that include all stakeholders.
Translating the workshop discussions and decisions into the formulation of questions on paper or in electronic format, often in more than one language.
Conducting a pre-test, interviewing real respondents

SOFTWARE PLATFORMS FOR ELECTRONIC QUESTIONNAIRES

We design electronic questionnaires in different languages and on diverse software platforms, such as CSPro, Survey Solutions, Blaise,Â Surveybe,Â SurveyCTO, SurveyToGo and ODK.
