## Survey Design

### Survey Objective Statement

### Question Design

For each section of the survey, provide:

- 4–8 questions in the section
- Question type for each (Likert scale, NPS, multiple choice, ranking, open-ended)
- Exact question wording (unbiased, clear, single-concept)
- Response options (where applicable)

**Recommended Sections:**
1. Screening / Eligibility (if needed)
2. Core Research Questions
3. Demographic / Profiling (kept short)
4. Open-ended Feedback

### Skip Logic & Branching
Describe any conditional branching needed (e.g., if answer to Q3 is "No," skip to Q7).

### Question Order Principles
Explain the sequencing rationale to minimize order effects and maximize completion rate.

### Bias Prevention Checklist
Review each question for: leading language, double-barreled questions, loaded assumptions, and ambiguous terms.

### Incentive & Completion Strategy
Recommendations for increasing response rate.

### Pilot Testing Plan
How to test the survey before full launch.
