Dúvidas sobre o questionário (Doubts)

Item 4. cor (color)

É normal não ter uma opção "não quero responder"? (Is it usual to not have an option "don't want to answer"?) --Abdo 21h35min de 26 de novembro de 2009 (UTC)

Engracado vc perguntar isso porque em geral nao se coloca essa alternativa "nao quero responder", a nao ser em casos muito especificos. Mas perguntas gerais, como essas, nao ha porque colocar esta alternativa. Eh normal proceder deste modo. (Dimitri)

Ok, não é um problema. (Ok, not an issue.) --Abdo 17h00min de 1 de dezembro de 2009 (UTC)

Item 7. escola (school)

Aí cabe escola em qualquer nível, até pós-graduação? Escola de línguas também? De esportes? (Does that include school of any level, even post-graduate? Language schools too? Sports?) --Abdo 21h35min de 26 de novembro de 2009 (UTC)

Neste caso a escola eh fundamentalmente a de formacao basica ate a universidade, mas penso que no nosso caso nao ha problema se pegarmos "qualquer tipo de escola" pois a ideia aqui eh ver se o entrevistado possui uma rede mais movimentada do que se ele nao frequentasse qualquer tipo de atividade fora de casa. (Dimitri)

Legal, de fato faz sentido. (Alright, it does make sense.) --Abdo 17h00min de 1 de dezembro de 2009 (UTC)

Item 10+11 uso de dorgas (drug use)

Ainda me confunde o formato ideal para perguntar disso e compararmos com outras pesquisas como PCAP. Na 10 o tipo das respostas difere daquela pesquisa. Na 11 haviam alternativas: "com que frequencia vc usa drogas" ou "você consideraria uma vez por semana uso frequente". (I'm still cofused about the ideal format to ask about this and compare to other research like PCAP. On 10 the answers differ from the one in that poll. On 11 there were alternatives to the current "what do you consider frequent": "with what frequency do you use" or "would you consider frequent to use once a week"). --Abdo 21h35min de 26 de novembro de 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure that I understand exactly what is happening here, but I think we want the question and answer choice to be EXACTLY the same as the PCAP. -- Matt

I think we only want to ask question 11 if they report using drugs in question 10. Is that correct? I don't speak Portuguese so I'm not sure if this is already accounted for. -- Matt

Agora eu estou confuso porque pensei que a questao 10 e 11 fossem exatamente as mesmas utilizadas na PCAP! (Now, I am confused because I believed I had used exactly the same questions 10-11 as in the PCAP) (Dimitri)

Ale, do you think the current question wording for question 10 does not match the PCAP? (Matt)

I think they're different. You can check the questions from the PCAP by looking at the PDF linked from the Resources on the main page, or by checking out the suggested questions I previously included on the wiki.

I think they differ enough so that it would be hard to consider a valid comparisson. In particular, the PCAP question only refers to "frequency" in one alternative, which in turn makes question 11 more clear.

Also, the PCAP has two questions, there's specific mention of "podwer cocaine" and "injected cocaine". Those are the categories the PCAP actually asks about. I'm not sure if it's desirable to change this to "general drug use" in order to make our comparisson, as it is now.

About question 11, what we want to know is how people answering PCAP understand drug usage in the terms of the RDS study, that is, an average of once a week during the last six months. We're using the ScaleUp as a "miniature PACP" to figure that out.

So I'm uncertain whether the current phrasing is the best alternative to get this information. As I wrote above, we could ask this in two other ways. The "would you consider frequent to use on average once a week" is more connected to what we want to know, and the "with what frequency do you use" asks for more concrete information. However, both alternatives give us less information as it only tells us about one specific point in the scale. Thinking of it now, the first alternative is enough for current considerations, the second is not. But even the first may fail us if we come up with other ideas about how to use this data.

In short, I understand we must at least conform question 10 to the PCAP. We can leave it as a general question but the answers must look like the PCAP. We can leave question 11 as it is.

Item 12 uso de drogas pelos contatos (contacts drug use)

Não é esta a questão mais importante? Não deveria dar algum tipo de ênfase a ela, ou isso só piora a resposta? (Isn't this the most important question? Shouldn't there be some kind of emphasis on that, or would it be worse?) --Abdo 21h35min de 26 de novembro de 2009 (UTC)

Na realidade esta questao se repete no final do terceiro modulo (sobre as populacoes desconhecidas). Creio que eh importante ela manter o equilibrio em relacao as duas precedentes. Nao seria bom criar alguma enfase neste caso. (Dimitri)

Bem então. Mas no terceiro módulo deveria ser a mesma pergunta, com a condição de "em média uma vez por semana nos últimos seis meses", não? (Fair enough. But i the third module the question should have the same condition about "on average once a week for the last six months", not?) --Abdo 17h00min de 1 de dezembro de 2009 (UTC)

Item 17 - família do parceiro (partner's family)

Para aqueles que não tem esposo(a) ou namorado(a), o que responder nessa questão? Zero? (For those who don't have husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend, what's the answer here? Zero?) --Neilane

Sim. A pessoa deve ser avisada desde o inicio que ela deve contar apenas para as categorias nas quais ela tem contatos pessoais (Yes, each respondent should be instructed to count only people in the categories of relations he/she has a personal contact with) (Dimitri)

Isso já está claro no questionário ou precisa de alguma modificação? (Ok, so is this clear in the questionnaire or do we need to include it?) --Abdo 17h00min de 1 de dezembro de 2009 (UTC)

Item 49. How many professors do you know?

Previously there was some concern that the number of professors was not counted correctly because there was something like 2.5 university students for each university professor. Do we now have the correct number of professors? If not, maybe we should not include this question. -- Matt

Yes, it seems that the category of professors has a lot of double counting. I agree, and we should not included it. (Dimitri)

Removi a pergunta do questionário. (Following this discussion, the question has been removed.) --Abdo 17h00min de 1 de dezembro de 2009 (UTC)

Questions for Vox Populi

1) How much will it cost for GPS locations of respondents? If I understood correctly they could give us this information for extra money. Do we know how much this would cost? -- Matt

They didn't informed us yet but I guess it is cheap. (Dimitri)

2) Will they give us information about how long each interview takes including possibly how long each question takes? This is useful information and it should be possible if all the data is being collected on a computer (CASI). -- Matt

Yes, this is easy for them. I'll ask Vox about that. (Dimitri)
