SUMMARY:From Question to Measure: Designing a Good Questionnaire
DESCRIPTION:Questionnaires are among the most widely used data collection tools in scientific research. However\, their apparent simplicity conceals a set of methodological decisions which\, when not properly grounded\, can compromise the validity and reliability of the data collected and\, consequently\, the conclusions of the research.   \nThis training adopts a strongly practical orientation: it starts from the most common errors observed in questionnaire design in research settings and\, through group-based exercises\, develops the skills required to produce rigorous\, clear\, and study-appropriate measurement instruments. \n  \n\nGENERAL INFORMATION:\nThis workshop will be a two-day event\, taking place on May 18 and 21\, at IPMA\, Matosinhos\, from 9:30am to 1pm. \nThe sessions can be held in portuguese or english\, depending on the preferences indicated in the registration. \n  \nRegistrations are open until May 15. \n\nCIIMAR & IPMA members: free\nStandard: 100€ (CCMAR members have a 50% discount)\n\n  \nNOTE: The attendance certificate will be issued if the trainee attends at least 80% of the total course time. \nIf tickets are sold out\, you can sign up for the waiting list through this link (you will be notified in order of registration). \n  \n\nDESCRIPTION:\nBy the end of the training\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the principles that distinguish a well-designed questionnaire from a problematic one; \nSelect the appropriate scale type and response format for different variables and research objectives; \nFormulate clear\, unambiguous items free from wording bias; \nStructure and order a questionnaire to minimise context effects and respondent fatigue; \nCritically review questionnaires produced by others (and by themselves)\, identifying areas for improvement; \nApply these principles to develop a questionnaire tailored to their own field of research.\n\n  \n Programme: \n1st day (May 18th) \n\nFoundations\n\nWhat is a good questionnaire?;\nTypes of variables and measurement scales. Common research errors;\n\n\nItem Construction\n\nWriting clear and valid items;\nWording and response biases;\nQuestionnaire structure and format.\n\n\n\n2nd day (May 21st) \n\nPractical Exercise (I)\n\nGroup work: participants design a mini-questionnaire relevant to their field;\nCritical analysis;\n\n\nPractical Exercise (II)\n\nPeer review of questionnaires;\nGuided discussion: what to improve and why;\n\n\nClosing Session\n\nKey principles summary;\nRecommended resources.\n\n\n\n  \nTrainer: Virgínia da Conceição \nVirgínia is a clinical and health psychologist and researcher at the Health Policy and Systems Lab of the Institute of Public Health of the University of Porto (ISPUP – EpiUnit/ITR). She holds a PhD in Public Health from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto and is the Principal Investigator of the BRIDGE-MH project (2024.15502.PEX)\, which focuses on the evaluation of mental health promotion programmes in higher education.  \n
