This topic cover questionnaire design and measurement issues.
Read First
Do start with a careful review of existing survey instruments that cover similar topics. Don't reinvent the wheel -- working from a high-quality, previously-piloted survey instrument will save time and improve the quality of your final output.
Guidelines
Questionnaire design process
When designing a survey instrument from scratch, follow these steps:
- Review (or draft) a Theory of Change and Pre-Analysis Plan.
- Make a list of all intermediary and final outcomes of interest, as well as important covariates and sources of heterogeneity
- Prepare an outline of questionnaire modules, based on the above list
- For each module, prepare a list of specific indicators to measure
- Review existing questionnaires
- Draft questionnaire, noting source of each question (e.g. source: Uganda National Panel Survey (LSMS 2013-14), source: Uganda DHS 2011, source: [Uganda Social Assistance Grants for Empowerment Programme 2013, Evaluation Follow-Up Survey|http://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/2653])
