can I use matrix questions in Survey Solutions, the World Bank’s software for data entry and survey management?

Yes, Survey Solutions, the World Bank’s software for data entry and survey management, supports the use of matrix questions. This functionality allows you to present respondents with a series of items (usually in rows) that share a common set of response options (usually in columns), facilitating efficient data collection for related questions.
To implement matrix questions in Survey Solutions, you can utilize the roster feature. By placing a single categorical question into a roster, you can define the categories as the columns of the matrix (e.g., ‘Poor’ to ‘Very good’), and the roster items as the rows. This setup enables the roster to function as a matrix, streamlining the data entry process.
