Adjust survey design for practicality

Send the revised survey instrument and the feasibility notes to Dr. Alvarez and to the field manager Rosa for approval by Tuesday. Verify skipped logic works across sheets, ensure question numbering matches the consent form, and save a clean copy for deployment.

Before I hand this survey to the field team, make it practical for enumerators. Put routing rules at the top of each sheet, make the expected answer formats explicit next to each question, highlight any items requiring supervisor approval, and flag questions likely to slow interviews so we can drop or reword them.

I removed five items to reduce the duration but Rosa estimates interviews will still run 25 minutes, risking respondent fatigue. I don't know which questions produce the most value versus time cost. Recommend how to evaluate and which question types to cut or reword so field time drops under 20 minutes without destroying core measures.

After three rounds of piloting, enumerators report the same three questions are misunderstood or skipped, and we keep patching them ad hoc. Recommend one habit change and a concrete spreadsheet practice for designing and tracking question performance so those problems stop recurring before piloting.
