Lessons learned from a six-county Community-Wide Children's Health Assessment and Planning Survey (CCHAPS): How culture and place matter in healthography
Methods: After examining the data from the 2008 and 2012 survey cycles, a process was completed to look at the upcoming 2015 survey tool and determine how best to use the finite “real estate “ of a survey to the fullest. By examining skipped patterns, survey drivers, cultural context, post survey usage we crafted the next survey.
Results: The 2015 survey has fewer questions in some areas such as chronic disease, additional questions regarding household compositions and food scarcity, and a better flow.
Conclusion: When designing survey tools there are many voices at the table, often wanting data for differing purposes. It is important to make the most of the allotted survey space by looking at the past patterns of survey completion, availability of data through other means, and poor survey questions. There are many lessons learned especially if you are using the same tool to assess those who are considered “out of place” like the homeless and the undocumented. Place does matter.
