Technical review of the GCRO QoL surveys: Synthesis report
The Gauteng City-Region Observatory (GCRO) conducted an externally-chaired technical review of its flagship Quality of Life survey (QoL) to mark the ten year anniversary of this unique survey. This report provides an account of key challenges and lessons identified through the ambitious review process – including the documented revisiting of past experiences, expert workshops, and interviews of providers and participants – and attempts assessments, a synthesis, and recommendations. It focusses on four key areas: sampling and weighting, survey management, questionnaire design, and index construction; and provides recommendations for the GCRO in each.
