survey instruments

Survey instruments are tools used to gather information from people through questions or prompts. They can take various forms, such as questionnaires, interviews, or online forms, designed to collect specific data on attitudes, opinions, behaviors, or facts. The goal is to ensure the questions are clear and unbiased so respondents can provide accurate and useful answers. Effective survey instruments help researchers understand a group's perspectives, make decisions, or evaluate programs, enabling informed actions based on the collected data.
