CHES Practice Test 13

Supporting a community research project

A university research team is studying sugary drink intake among families with young children. A health education specialist at a community health center has agreed to coordinate data collection at the center. Three center staff members ask parents the survey questions and enter answers on paper forms, which the specialist later enters into a spreadsheet using the team’s codebook. After two weeks, the specialist notices that staff members are wording the drink-frequency questions differently and some are explaining the answer choices to parents in their own words.
