ECHOES survey questionnaire

The ECHOES questionnaire was developed in English but subsequently implemented in 16 languages. They are available for download below. ECHOES was available online only. The questionnaire's appearance depended on the device used for survey completion (smartphone, tablet, desktop computer, etc.). As all 16 language versions need to have exactly the same structure, the English master version was copied 15 times, only then the translation process started. The PDFs below are a copy of the translator screen after translation and proof-reading, and contain all possible questions as well as routing information. The PDFs do not reflect what respondents saw on their screen. For example, questions starting with “$$” did not appear to the respondent, and text in “[rectangular brackets]” was not visible. These PDFs are rather an automated text output for e.g. proof-reading purposes.

A final proposal for a European community health worker survey and the ECHOES plan for data analysis, including a manual with descriptions of parameters and coding values are available for download, too.

Individuals and organisations are welcome to use individual questions, question sets or whole ECHOES questionnaires, on the understanding that they give due credit: The University of Brighton developed the ECHOES questionnaire within the framework of the ESTICOM project that was funded by the EU Health Programme 2014-2020 under service contract 2015-71-01.
