While not all sections are structured in the same way, a typical one will contain the following elements:
Contextual Questions – designed to collect specific information relating to service experience (e.g., When did you last use this service?).
Scaled Questions – includes questions with 5-point agreement and importance response scales which are designed to collect feedback related directly to the level of client’s satisfaction with specific elements of service delivery (e.g., I feel that my confidentiality is fully protected. How much do you agree with the statement?).
In addition, a typical section would contain one or more summary questions meant to address the overall satisfaction with the particular service aspect (e.g., Overall I was satisfied with the method of accessing the service. How much do you agree with the statement?).
Suggestions for Improvement – designed to collect client feedback with respect to areas in need of improvement and provides respondents with opportunity for submitting further comments. It includes open-ended questions (e.g., If you found that the service/product location was not convenient, where would you like the facility to be located?).
