• Abstract:
  This document was developed by the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology (FCSM) Subcommittee on Question Evaluation Methodology to provide an inventory of methods used by federal statistical agencies to evaluate survey questions. Since question development methods play a crucial role in assuring the quality of survey questions and the data they produce, this document also includes a section on developing survey questions which outlines important steps in creating the survey questions that will subsequently be tested and evaluated. The question development section is followed by a discussion of question evaluation, a description of data collection methods, and a list of the methods federal agencies use to evaluate survey questions, along with a definition, common uses, strengths, and limitations for each evaluation method.
