Create demographics questionnaire

Facilitators are asked to distribute a demographics questionnaire to participants. Each question is optional and may be skipped, which should be made clear to the participant. In addition, it would be good to include some text at the top of the questionnaire to explain why we collect demographics, e.g.

  • To ensure we are reaching users from diverse backgrounds, and that marginalized groups are represented.
  • Some funders require us to report back basic information (e.g. the gender breakdown of our studies) for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
  • To identify basic trends in our studies.

And how we safeguard their information, e.g.

  • Questions are general and do not ask the participant to disclose personal information.
  • Demographic data is aggregated per study in our reporting.
  • The raw demographic data is deleted as per our data handling policy.

Estimate: Medium × Moderate = 3­–4.5 d
