Answer to Question 1

When writing survey questions, use language that is appropriate and understood by the public for
whom the survey is intended. Questions have to be explicit with clearly understood meanings. Use
words that have clear and specific meanings. The shorter the questionnaire, the more likely people
will participate and complete it. Avoid bias in the wording or ordering of questions. Don't ask
objectionable questions. Some of the logistical considerations you should take into account before
administering a survey are: Can the personnel requirements be met? Can the survey be administered
within the desired time frame? Can you afford its cost? Data collectors will have to be trained.
