Today’s Goal
Caveats: limited time, lots of people! Modest goal: to get a sense of the process and
considerations involved in translating paper-based forms into digital, phone-based forms
Ambitious goal: get an idea of some of the advanced techniques and tricks that can be employed in a phone-based form

Ground Rules
Can ask questions at any time if directly relevant; otherwise write your question on a post-it and we’ll address it at the end
Will share materials after the workshop:This presentationA worksheetA “form builder” handout

Form Content- major considerations Data:
What questions to ask? (what data do you need?)
When to ask it?What data is available?
• DOB vs Age• LMP vs EDD
Minimize errors with constraints
Job-Aid:Help with calculationsAid in complex workflowsRemindersEnhance counseling

General Principles of Form Development Design: Phone-based forms are always linear
(Question 1, then 2, then 3), even when branching, and they can’t “skip back” in an easy way
Language: Make sure your language is simple enough for your CHW to understand it (harder than it sounds)
Length: Avoid very long text (no one reads it) and think about the situation where the form will be used- and plan accordingly!
Multimedia: Think about whether inclusion of media could make your form easier to understand
Question Types: It is best to minimize extensive text-entry as this can be challenging on a phone

Make a question required if it is truly required and will always be available; otherwise don’t make it required. You can add yes/no questions prior to questions that sometimes may be available.
Required Questions

You can constrain acceptable responses at the moment of collection- but be sure to provide a helpful message about why a certain answer is not acceptable!
Validation Conditions

Skip Logic: Develop display conditions for your questions and messages that guide your CHW through the work flow
![Page 17: 0 Workshop From Forms to Phones: Making Health Content for CHWs Mobile.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e055503460f94af2113/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Advanced Tricks
Calculations Sum the answer to multiple questions Calculate a score based on the answers to an assessment Calculate age from date of birth, or EDD from LMP
Use “if” statements Can make calculations dependent upon answers to other questions
Reference a look-up table Weight-for-length
Enable case management Link together forms over time
Incorporate real workflows like referrals
You don’t have to worry about how these are done, just know that they can be done!

Exercise: Form to Phone! Scenario: A small NGO in Northern India works with CHWs that have
apps on their phones. They use the app as a counseling aid for Maternal/child health, for decision support, and to submit data. It’s Global Handwashing Day so the NGO wants to develop some material about handwashing to add to the app. They need some advice about what to put in the form. mHealth Working Group to the rescue! They want to add a form that: Assesses a client’s practices Assesses a client’s knowledge Provides some counseling/tips on hand washing
Activity: Form groups of ~5 people Grab a form design guide and worksheet Work together, using the worksheet, to discuss how you can structure the
form. Consider the following:• What is the best order for the questions?• What types of questions are appropriate?• What multimedia, if any, would be useful?• Would any calculations or look-up tables be useful?

Activity Discussion
Anyone have a question that they think would be challenging to translate to a phone?
Any good examples of how you modified a question to make it more useful?
Any ideas for tools like calculations? Any other questions or suggestions?

*We generally start with the definition file if using a pre-canned application.
Worksheet 1 is still a good exercise for partner’s to complete:• Indicates partner’s commitment to project• Highlight content priorities. Cut irrelevant parts of a pre-canned app
