Draft Instruments

Regardless of the purpose of the evaluation or the design of the evaluation project, a data collection instrument or guide is necessary. Examples include open-ended interview guides, focus groups, self-administered survey, and established questions to guide abstraction of administrative data.

For this assignment, you will draft an instrument or use an existing instrument. Provide a copy of the instrument you have drafted, or, if you use an existing instrument (which is strongly advised), then provide a copy of that instrument with a paragraph describing how the instrument has been used previously (e.g., with what related populations, year, duration, etc.). Where available, be sure to report any reliability and validity values, paying special attention to previous use for diverse populations.
