WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Have you ever been frustrated by survey questions because none of the response options matched your experience? Have you tried to collect information with a survey and received responses that were not actually useful because respondents didn’t seem to understand the question as you intended it, or you realized after the fact that your response options weren’t ideal? Us too! (It can happen to anyone.)

If you are curious about why this happens and how to prevent it, or otherwise want to refresh or improve your survey design skills, register for Designing Quality Survey Questions, a 90 minute skill-building mini workshop,  Kim Leonard (co-author of the book  Designing Quality Survey Questions) will demonstrate why and how to engage in a respondent-centered, intentional survey design process and will share tips and tools to support doing so. 

As a result of participating, you will:

  • Understand why intentional, respondent-centered survey design is needed

  • Recognize common survey question design problems, increasing your ability to avoid or address those problems

  • Apply the Designing Quality Survey Questions checklist in developing high-quality survey questions
