Mpox question bank: Qualitative questions for community-level data collections

The mpox question bank is a menu of qualitative questions on mpox transmission and the response to mpox. It seeks to facilitate data collection on the capacities, behaviours, practices and perceptions of individuals and communities in relation to mpox prevention and management. The question bank can be used by field teams and/or local research teams working in communities with mpox transmission and those at risk of transmission.

This question bank has been developed by SSHAP in collaboration with the Collective Service. It is one of a suite of question banks commissioned by the Collective Service to support the collection and use of consistent and high-quality social and behavioural data. It draws on those previously developed for cholera, COVID-19 and Zika. The Collective Service’s repository of mpox resources can be accessed at www.rcce-collective.net/resources/thematic-kits/mpox/.
