Questionnaires are widely used for data collection in health research and evaluation. Their design, use and analysis are key to accurate, comprehensive and complete data. This course is an introduction to questionnaire design, application and data interpretation delivered by researchers and healthcare professionals experienced in developing, conducting and analysing questionnaire-based research for use in health services research and healthcare.
This course provides an introduction to the theoretical and practical approaches to questionnaire design, application and data interpretation. It covers an overview of processes involved in questionnaire development, testing, administration and data management to provide a basic understanding of the key concepts and approaches when using questionnaires to collect healthcare data and measure outcomes.
This course will cover an introduction to the key topics of:
- questionnaire construction: using qualitative methods to inform content and design, developing concepts to be measured, question type, wording and layout, and piloting;
- using quantitative methods to assess the reliability of scales, validity, sensitivity to change and interpreting multi-item scales;
- questionnaire application: choosing a questionnaire, maximising response rates, examples from case studies;
- using different methods and technologies for questionnaire administration;
- qualitative analysis of open responses; and
- quantitative data management, data coding and cleaning.
Opportunities for delegates to discuss their own projects with course tutors and other delegates will be included.
