Let’s review what we covered in this module.

Basics of questionnaire adaptation

• During the questionnaire adaptation process, every question in the questionnaire must be reviewed.
• There are 3 types of HHFA questionnaire adaptations: Deleting, adding or modifying a question.
• All adaptations must be made (and maintained) in Track Changes.
• Do not change the question numbers or the order of the questions.
• Adaptations to the questionnaire require corresponding adaptations to other HHFA tools.

Deleting and adding questions

• To delete a question, delete the entire row in Track Changes.
• Do not re-use the number of the deleted question or re-number the subsequent questions.
• To add a question, insert a new row in Track Changes.
• For new questions, always use the country-specific numbering system with the ISO 2 code.
• For new response options, use a list when only one response is possible.
• Use a table when multiple responses are possible.
• After deleting or adding a question, check the skip patterns.

Modifying HHFA questions

• Modifying an HHFA question means making changes to the text of the question in ways that will not change the meaning of the question or its response options.
• If changes to the question text will change the meaning of the question or its response options, the question should be deleted and replaced with a new country-specific question.
• Some HHFA questions contain the instruction “COUNTRY ADAPT”.
• All HHFA questions should be reviewed by the country.
