Adding question modules
The first step is to complete a question module template and submit it to the Health Survey Program. Once the proposed question module is discussed and field-tested, the area or agency needs to seek approval for the question module from its chief executive or equivalent. A copy of this approval needs to be sent to the Health Survey Program, who will then seek ethics committee approval.
A lead-time of at least three months is required for the inclusion of question modules, to allow sufficient time for development, ethics committee approval, CATI programming, and field-testing. A shorter lead time is possible when responding to urgent information needs relating to population health: for example, outbreaks of communicable disease and exposures to environmental hazards.
Acrobat Reader 8.0 or above is required to complete the template electronically. Alternately, you can print out a hard copy and fill it out manually.
