Initial questions

Hello everyone,

In terms of the types of questions our survey will encompass, I also think that we should use something like the Likert scale, since it could help us understand the attitudes of the respondents more clearly, as well as provide us with more diverse answers. I For example, a question about safe injection sites might look something like this:

"Under certain circumstances, safe injection sites are justifiable" 1 - strongly agree 2 - agree - 3 - neutral - 4 - disagree 5 - strongly disagree

Also, adding a "don't know" option might yield more accurate results, since some people may simply not have an opinion about the question itself. It could also provide us with some insight into how much knowledge people have about the specific topic.

I fully agree with you on the proposal to add a "don't know" option. However, we might want to adjust the statement "under certain circumstances," because it can yield some uncertainty. Directing the statement to be more specific to our topic could be more effective, perhaps stating, "The presence of safe injection sites in the Downtown East Side is justifiable."

Just my two cents :), let me know what you think!
