Survey Questionnaire

The EMIS-2017 questionnaire was developed in English but subsequently implemented in 33 languages. All 33 language versions of the EMIS-2017 questionnaire are available for download below. EMIS-2017 was available online only. The questionnaire appeared differently depending on the device used for survey completion (smartphone, tablet, desktop computer, etc.). As all 33 language versions need to have exactly the same structure, the English master version was copied 32 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 an EMIS-2017 survey of gay men, bisexual men and other men that have sex with men (MSM) and the EMIS-2017 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 EMIS-2017 questionnaires, on the understanding that they give due credit: Sigma Research @ London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine developed the EMIS-2017 questionnaire within the framework of the ESTICOM project funded by the EU Health Programme 2014-2020 under service contract 2015-71-01.
