This resource assists in constructing an evaluation questionnaire and in completing an analysis of the type of data you want to collect from your questionnaire. In doing this, it examines knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, opinions, behaviors, and attributes. The publication offers advice on how to word questions and discusses the most effective questions to elicit the responses and data you need. The guide also shows how to most appropriately format and pretest a questionnaire. The appendix provides additional information on how to request attribute information (age, income, etc.).
