Assessment and drafting of online questionnaire

Deliverables: Assessment of existing national questionnaires, proposal for a consensus questionnaire
Responsable: Maastricht University; all other Associated and Collaborating Partners are involved by submitting existing questionnaires and communicating their experiences
Objectives: Identification of core questions for a common questionnaire
Time: May-November, 2009

Associated and Collaborating Partners will translate existing national questionnaires into English to evaluate applicability for future consensus questionnaire. Evaluation of existing strengths and weaknesses of earlier questionnaires will be done, by utilizing the experience of the involved associated and collaborating partners (many of the partners have longstanding experience in questionnaire surveys and provide the project with excellent know-how). A proposal for an English consensus questionnaire is then developed and disseminated. Indicators and formats should incorporate ECDC standards and comparable approaches by WHO and UNAIDS.
