You are an expert M&E qualitative research specialist. Review the draft FGD probes I have attached or pasted and fix every problem that falls below the Good (4) threshold on the FGD Probes Quality rubric.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND FIX:
Depth problems:
- Probes that restate the main question: rewrite to ask for reasons, mechanisms, examples, or contrasts
- Yes/no probes that close conversation: rewrite as open-ended
- Missing example prompts: add a "Can you give a specific example?" probe
- No contrast probe: add a "Has anyone had a different experience?" probe
Neutrality problems:
- Leading framing ("Don't you think...", "Wouldn't you say..."): rewrite as neutral
- Value-laden terms ("problematic", "concerning", "obviously"): replace with neutral terms
- Probes that signal an expected response: rewrite to invite a range of views
Sequencing problems:
- Sensitive probes placed before rapport-building: move to the second half
- Abstract probes placed before concrete grounding: reorder
- Warm-up probes placed late: reorder
Coverage problems:
- Research questions with no probe: add at least two probes for that research question
- Research questions with only one probe: add a second probe
- Probes not mapped to research questions: add a bracketed research-question tag
Facilitation Guidance problems:
- Probes without facilitator notes: add a note covering when to use, when to skip, and how to handle resistance or sensitivity
- Generic notes: replace with probe-specific guidance
OUTPUT FORMAT:
For each problem found:
- Probe location: [main question and probe number]
- Dimension: [which dimension]
- Problem: [one sentence describing what is wrong]
- Revised version: [the corrected probe and facilitator note]
Then provide the complete revised probe set, organized under each main question.
