Instrument Design & Development

The Rockville Institute's associates have exceptional survey design experience, including matching survey content to research goals and designing surveys to specific audiences.

The Institute will develop a design with the most applicable interview tools—including computer-assisted personal (CAPI), telephone (CATI), and audio self-administered (ACASI). Researchers will also use qualitative development methods to ensure designs are appropriate.
