A17 Preparing questionnaires
- Preparing simple questionnaires and forms to collect the answers will make things much easier, both during the interviews and when preparing charts of the results.
- A sample form on gathering information about the use of health services is shown below. Discuss any changes you might need to make to this, so that it is useful in your community. Consider other questions that could be asked.
- You will also need to decide how many people need to be asked. If you live in a community with about 100 families, you might consider asking all of them. If you have over 1,000 families in your community, you could consider visiting 1 house in every 10 houses. (Multiplying your figures by 10 would then indicate the overall situation in the community.)
Discussion
- What will people use to record the information?
- Why is it important to visit homes at random (for example, counting off every tenth home in strict order) rather than choosing the homes of people known to the teams who are collecting the information?
- This information will have come from the whole community and will belong to all of us. How could this information be shared with the rest of our community during an open meeting? Make plans on how to share this information.
- Here are two sample forms that could be used for gathering information about livestock or health services. Using these as examples, consider how to prepare a questionnaire on the priority subject chosen by our own community.
