Writing different questions, constructing good questions (e.g. easy language, easy understanding etc) and piloting are important steps to consider (Creswell; 2012). We design survey forms considering several steps suggested by (Williams, 2013)

- Decide how the questionnaire will be administered
- Formulate questions
- Formulate the responses
- Design the layout
- Pre-pilot the questions and layout
- Pilot study – test validity, reliability, acceptability

All steps are important particularly piloting and testing validity and reliability and acceptability.
