The evolution of the Quality of Life questionnaire
Since 2009, GCRO has conducted five Quality of Life surveys. In this time the survey has grown in the size of the sample and in the number of questions asked. The impact of the survey has also increased with each year and iteration. This is the second in a series of interactive visualisations that explore different aspects of the Quality of Life survey.
QoL V (2017/18) questionnaire
The fifth Quality of Life survey contains 248 questions. In this survey, the largest category includes questions regarding the services and needs of respondents and their household.
This visualisation groups each of the questions in the QoL V (2017/18) into categories. It also presents the number of QoL surveys in which each question has appeared and whether or not the question is part of an index.
