By simplifying and regularizing the question style and the navigation of the survey, you also will be improving how the survey will appear on a computer screen. The individual items need to be changed to the appropriate electronic formats. Question I.1 needs to be changed to a radio button format, with a text box for the comments following "No." Question I.2 needs to use a text box format. Questions I.3, I.4, and II.1-9, need to use radio button formats. Question II.10 needs to use two separate text boxes. Other modifications should include shortening text lines, adding navigational cues specific to computer use, and deciding how respondents will move from one page of the survey to the next (it is unlikely the survey could fit on one computer screen). After these changes, it is critical to test if the survey appears correctly on different kinds of computer systems.
