Constituency Group survey
Instructions for On-line Survey Development
For each Constituency Group run by the Center for States, a survey will be created in on-line survey software to gather feedback that can inform project planning. Given the changing nature and context of each constituency group, it is important to be able to get feedback from recipients without creating undue burden by answering excessive questions that only marginally apply. To address this, the survey will be tailored to the unique information needs of each group to ensure low burden while informing high quality service provision. When creating each on-line survey, content specialists will use the required questions listed below and choose up to 20 context specific optional questions that can be added to the survey, as needed. This will allow for unique information needs to be met.
It is expected that each tailored survey will have no more than 45 questions, including 20 required questions and a maximum of 25 optional questions, with a burden of no more than 20 minutes.
