Abstract:
Questionnaires are one of the most common tools for collecting data in genetic counseling research and practice. In this manuscript, we present an overview of survey methods in the context of genetic counseling research. Approaches for administering surveys, designing good questions, and identifying study samples are addressed. We also discuss rigorous approaches for designing, validating, and implementing questionnaires that are inclusive and reliable. The information and considerations in this manuscript will empower researchers to develop, pretest, validate, and implement surveys in diverse settings and enhance the rigor of genetic counseling research.
