Survey Question Starter

Here are some starter questions that I came up with during class. I like the idea of being more focused on a specific goal, and I also loved that our project may change and shift as our data comes in. We can use the information to better assess the issue, and adjust our strategy, a.k.a, analyze what the need is in the community and then address it.
