Peer-to-Peer Event Survey

PURPOSE: For each peer to peer event hosted by the Center for States, a survey will be created in on-line survey software to gather feedback that can inform project planning.

Instruction for Survey Development and Administration

For each peer to peer event hosted 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 customization of each event, 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 event to ensure low burden while informing high quality service provision. When creating each on-line survey, event developers in collaboration with the evaluation team will use the required questions listed below and choose up to 9 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 25 questions, including 16 required questions and a maximum of 9 optional questions, with a burden of no more than 5 minutes.
