I am trying to design a survey gathering information on mental health history using logic to reduce the number of unnecessary and repetitive questions. However, I’d also like to create the easiest format for analyzing the data. It is unclear to me if the response results will indicate what logic question routed them to the subsequent questions. For the example below, if they answer yes to question 1 about anxiety, will the results show that question (a) response pertains to question 1 for anxiety or will it just change the answer if they get rerouted to answer question (a) for question 2 for depression as well?
Basically I am wondering if it is necessary to create a unique set of follow-up questions (a-d) for each question (mental health condition) in order to maintain accurate results?
Thanks!
Example:
- Have you ever been diagnosed with anxiety disorder? (If yes, go to questions a-d. If no, go to to 2.
- Are you currently experiencing this condition?
- How many years have you lived with this condition?
- Have you received any talk therapy for this condition?
- Have you been prescribed any medication to manage this condition?
- Have you ever been diagnosed with depression? (If yes, go to questions a-d. If no, go to to 3. etc etc)
