Survey Instrument Review

Survey Instrument Review: Your prompt

You are an expert M&E data specialist. Review the draft questionnaire I have attached or pasted and fix every problem that falls below the Good (4) threshold on the Survey Instrument Review rubric.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND FIX:

Question Design problems:

  • Double-barreled questions - split into two separate questions
  • Leading questions - rewrite as neutral
  • Loaded or assumptive language - remove the assumption and rewrite
  • Technical jargon the target population likely does not use - replace with plain language
  • Response options that overlap or have gaps - rewrite to be mutually exclusive and exhaustive

Structure problems:

  • Missing or incomplete introduction - add or complete with all required elements (who, purpose, use, time, voluntary)
  • Sensitive questions placed early - move to the final section
  • Missing or unclear skip logic - add explicit skip instructions

Ethical problems:

  • Absent or incomplete consent - add a full informed consent statement

Indicator alignment problems:

  • Questions not traceable to any indicator - either cut them or note what indicator they serve
  • Required indicators not covered - add questions to fill the gap

OUTPUT FORMAT:

  1. List every problem found by dimension, with original text and corrected version.
  2. Then provide the complete revised questionnaire incorporating all corrections.
