have the option of filling an online survey form (survey monkey) OR a print (hard) form. Please
complete only one form.

• Please provide some information about yourself and your present circumstances to enable a
statistical analysis of the results across the NHRI as a whole.
• If you do not feel able to provide a response to a specific question, leave it blank.
• The questionnaire is available in English and [insert language]. You may choose to write your
responses in either of the languages. However, wherever possible, it is preferred that responses
are given in English to minimise the need for translation.
1. Online survey (Survey Monkey)
• The questionnaire can be completed and submitted directly online through Survey Monkey.

box can be expanded by dragging from the bottom left corner.

• Please provide responses to all questions if possible. However, if you do not feel able to provide
a response to a specific question, leave it blank and move on to the next question.
2. Hard copy questionnaire
• The questionnaire is also available in hard copy form for those who are uncomfortable or unable
to complete it online. Please complete it in English or, if necessary, in [a local language].
