Developing Written Questionnaires: Determining if Questionnaires Should be Used
By Daniel R. Zalles, Ph.D.

Written questionnaires systematically gather information about a particular phenomenon from a population of people. This module provides a strategy for determining whether a written questionnaire is an appropriate means of gathering data to meet the evaluation's goals.

The objectives of this module are for you to understand:

• The three conditions that must be met to justify administering a written questionnaire in an evaluation.
• How the conditions are applied in specific circumstances.
