  This guide shows how to adapt, locally pilot test, plan, and implement a community survey.
  
  How to use this document: This document helps you plan and implement a Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey during an Ebola outbreak. In the appendix there are two KAP survey questionnaires that you can use. The first survey questionnaire is about people’s knowledge, attitudes and practices related to Ebola virus disease, while the second has questions about how people view Ebola control activities led by the government or by others. The first survey is designed to be most useful at the beginning of an outbreak, while the second is designed for use when Ebola control activities are well underway. You may decide to use one or both survey questionnaires as they are, or to modify them to meet your needs. You will need to test your surveys locally to ensure that the people you are surveying can understand the questions (both the terminology and language), that the survey doesn’t take too long, and that that the instructions for the data collectors are clear and easy to follow. This document guides you in customizing your Ebola KAP survey and planning for data collection, including how to: define your goals for the survey, plan for the resources you will need, select and adapt the survey questions, plan the data collection, organize and train your team, collect the data, download and clean the data, and organize your results and generate charts for presentation.
