IGERT SURVEY
|
Programming notes are in blue…
There will be a variable created from the sample file that determines if a respondent is IGERT or not. Throughout the survey where there are “IGERT only” questions, we use the variable name “IGERT” to identify that a question should be given only to the IGERT respondents.
All section headings are for internal use only and should not appear on the screens. Survey respondents should not see section headings
Do not include question numbers on the screen (this is b/c we don’t want to confuse respondents who skip sections).
Response choices that are all numbered with one are to allow the respondent to choose more than one answer to the question. Response choices that are numbered sequentially are where the respondent is to choose only one answer to the question
Analysis notes in green are for internal reference only and should not appear on screen or paper versions.
