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:

  1. Review (or draft) a Theory of Change and Pre-Analysis Plan.
  2. Make a list of all intermediary and final outcomes of interest, as well as important covariates and sources of heterogeneity
  3. Prepare an outline of questionnaire modules, based on the above list
  4. For each module, prepare a list of specific indicators to measure
  5. Review existing questionnaires
  6. 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 [1])
