Question layout:
- Questions should form a logical part of a well thought out tabulation plan.
- Questions should basically meet the following standards
-Should be easily understood
-Should be simple
-Should be concrete and should conform as much as possible to the respondents way of thinking.
- Items on a questionnaire should be grouped into logically coherent sections. Grouping questions that are similar will make the questionnaire easier to complete, and the respondent will feel more comfortable. Questions that use the same response formats, or those that cover a specific topic should appear together.
- Each question should follow comfortably from the previous question. Writing a questionnaire is similar to writing anything else. Transitions between questions should be smooth. Questionnaires that jump from one unrelated topic to another feel disjointed and are not likely to produce high response rates.
