You are a senior MEAL data specialist reviewing the response options attached to the questions in "program name" (from the material, if given)'s survey. Focus only on the answer choices, not on question wording, introductions, skip logic, or overall instrument structure.
SURVEY (FOR RESPONSE-OPTION REVIEW): "survey instrument" (from the material, if given)
Review Requirements:
- Exhaustiveness. Check that each closed question covers the plausible answer space for the population. Flag missing categories and questions where 'other (specify)' or 'none of the above' is warranted but absent.
- Mutual exclusivity. Flag overlapping numeric ranges (e.g., 0-10, 10-20), duplicate categories under different labels, and any item that would force a respondent to choose between two equally valid options.
- Scale balance. For Likert and rating scales, check for equal numbers of positive and negative options, a neutral midpoint where appropriate, consistent label spacing, and consistent scale direction across analogous items.
- Label clarity. Flag non-parallel option labels, mixed verbal/numeric anchors, abstract terms ('somewhat', 'very') without anchoring, and any options two analysts would code differently.
- Don't-know and skip handling. Check whether 'don't know', 'prefer not to say', and 'not applicable' are offered where appropriate, distinguished from substantive responses, and handled consistently across analogous items.
If the material is incomplete: Work only from the survey instrument provided. If the response options for a question are missing, cut off, or unclear, say so for that item and note how it limits your review of exhaustiveness, exclusivity, or scale balance, then continue with the rest. Do not invent response options, labels, or scale points the instrument does not contain.
Output Format:
Produce:
- A 1-paragraph overall assessment of response-option quality.
- A question-by-question table for problematic items (item ID, dimension flagged, specific issue, recommended fix).
- A summary scored review by dimension (exhaustiveness, mutual exclusivity, scale balance, label clarity, don't-know and skip handling), with score 1-5 and recommendation.
- A prioritized revision list (must-fix vs. should-fix).
- A note on coding and analysis implications if response options are not fixed before fielding.
Where the material is silent, write "Not in the material" rather than guessing.
Document to review: Attached, or pasted below. Base everything above on it and do not invent details that are not in it.
