Designing Quality Survey Questions, Second Edition shows readers how to craft precisely worded survey questions with appropriate response options that provide useful data to help answer research questions. The Second Edition offers more detail on survey question design, rating scales, open-ended questions, and more guidance on cultural responsiveness, use of inclusive language, how to survey youth, and a deeper discussion on asking questions about sex and gender and disability.
