- Review the slides on Survey methods (attached)
- Pick 2 assessment tools (Slide 14) and discuss the following:
- Relevance to Research Question- Does the survey address the specific topic or construct you are studying? Are the questions appropriate for your target population?
- Clarity of Questions- Are the survey questions clearly worded and easy to understand? Are there any ambiguous or confusing terms?
- Reliability- Is there evidence that the survey produces consistent results over time (test-retest reliability)? Are the internal consistency measures (e.g., Cronbach’s alpha) acceptable (usually above 0.70)?
- Validity- Does the survey measure what it claims to measure (construct validity)? Is there evidence of content validity (do the items cover the entire range of the construct)?
- Length and Time to Complete- Is the survey an appropriate length for your participants? How long does it take to complete the survey? Is it reasonable for your study?
- Sample and Norms- Are there norms or benchmarks available for interpreting the survey scores? Was the survey validated on a sample similar to your target population?
- Cultural Sensitivity- Are the questions culturally sensitive and appropriate for your participants? Have potential cultural biases been addressed?
- Scoring and Interpretation- Is the scoring procedure straightforward and clearly explained? Are there clear guidelines for interpreting the results?
