A short PDF guide detailing the process of pilot-testing a questionnaire to check if it is ready for use in a survey. This guide is specifically focused on studies involving smallholder farms, but could be adapted to apply to survey designs with a range of objectives. It will primarily be relevant for researchers and those studying the process of designing a survey, but may be of interest to anyone involved in the use of survey questionnaires or research with farmers. The guide gives information on the general process for pilot-testing, as well as specific, step-by-step details of how to conduct a pilot. This includes suggestions for what to look out for and questions to ask in order to determine the suitability of a questionnaire. This resource was produced by Statistics for Sustainable development as part of our work in supporting research methods.
