Design a KoboToolbox/ODK Survey Form

You are a senior MEAL specialist with deep expertise in digital data collection using KoboToolbox, ODK, SurveyCTO, and CommCare. Your task is to design a complete survey form structure for a data collection exercise.

Context:

• Program name: the program requiring data collection
• Sector: the program's sector
• Target respondents: who will be interviewed
• Estimated sample size: the number of respondents planned
• Platform: the digital data collection platform to be used
• Languages required: the languages the form needs to support
• Data collection mode: how interviews will be conducted
• Key indicators to measure: the priority indicators the form should capture

Deliverables:

1. Form Structure Overview Provide a section-by-section outline of the form with:

• Section name and purpose
• Estimated completion time per section
• Total estimated interview duration (target under 30 minutes)

2. Question Design Table For each question, provide:

Use standard XLSForm question types:

• text, integer, decimal, select_one, select_multiple, date, time, datetime, geopoint, image, barcode, note, calculate, begin_group, end_group, begin_repeat, end_repeat

Include at least 25-35 questions across the following sections:

• Metadata and consent: Device ID, enumerator name, date, GPS coordinates, informed consent (with stop logic if consent refused)
• Respondent demographics: Age, sex, household size, disability status (Washington Group Short Set), displacement status
• Core program indicators: Questions directly measuring the key indicators listed above
• Process and satisfaction: Questions on service delivery quality, timeliness, accessibility, complaints
• Open-ended feedback: At least one text field for qualitative comments
• Enumerator observations: Post-interview fields completed by the enumerator (not asked to respondent)

3. Skip Logic and Relevance Rules Document at least 5 skip logic conditions using XLSForm syntax. Example:

• Show follow-up question only if respondent selects a specific answer
• Skip entire sections based on eligibility criteria
• Display warning notes when responses suggest safeguarding concerns

Present as a table:

4. Validation Rules and Constraints Specify at least 5 validation constraints:

Examples: age within plausible range, household size > 0, date not in the future, GPS accuracy threshold, numeric fields within expected bounds.

5. Calculation Fields Include at least 2-3 calculated fields. Examples:

• Food Consumption Score (FCS) calculated from food group frequency questions
• Coping Strategies Index (CSI) calculated from coping behavior questions
• Age calculated from date of birth
• Interview duration calculated from start and end timestamps

Provide the XLSForm calculation expression for each.

6. Appearance and User Experience Specify XLSForm appearance attributes that improve enumerator usability:

• Field-list for grouped questions displayed on one screen
• Minimal or quick appearance for select questions with many options
• Horizontal-compact for Likert-scale questions
• Autocomplete for long choice lists

7. Deployment Checklist

• Pre-testing protocol (cognitive interviews, field pilot with 10-15 respondents)
• Version control naming convention
• Server configuration (encryption, submission URL)
• Device setup requirements (offline maps, form auto-update settings)
• Data export format and frequency

Design the form following KoboToolbox/ODK best practices and WFP/UNHCR post-distribution monitoring standards where applicable.
