Abstract

Questionnaires are essential tools in research, used to collect structured data from respondents through standardised questions. These instruments are adaptable, facilitating the gathering of both quantitative data for statistical analysis and qualitative insights into individuals' thoughts, behaviours, and experiences. Widely employed in various fields, questionnaires play a crucial role in understanding attitudes, evaluating opinions, and monitoring changes in behaviour over time. Their ability to reach large populations efficiently makes them indispensable for researchers aiming to gather reliable, comprehensive data in diverse contexts, ultimately driving informed decision-making and policy development.
