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: | # | Section | Question Text | Type | Choices (if applicable) | Required | Skip Logic | Validation Rule | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| 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: | Question | Condition | XLSForm Relevance Expression | |---|---|---| **4. Validation Rules and Constraints** Specify at least 5 validation constraints: | Question | Constraint | Constraint Message | XLSForm Expression | |---|---|---|---| 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.
