I am currently creating a survey using Google Forms. It's quite a long survey, so I would like to make it as quick as possible for everybody doing it.
A lot of the survey questions are repeated and depend on whether or not a person has had training in a particular area.
For example, the first question for each page will be:
- Have you had training in X?
Followed by questions according to the first answer, e.g.
- If you have not had training in X, how interested would you be in having training in X?
- If you have had training in X, how confident are you in delivering the service?
- Do you feel you have enough time to deliver the service?
- etc.
Is it possible to create the survey so that if somebody indicates that they have or have not had training in X, it only shows them the follow-up question relevant to their experience?
Another advantage would be that I would increase the likelihood that the people are responding to every answer, and not just skipping over it. At the moment, I have to make the follow-up questions optional due to it applying/not applying to them, so it means they can skip over questions that are relevant to them.

You'll need to create pages in your Google Form as well as relevant multiple choice questions to take you between these pages.
For each page you set up, they will correspond with a multiple choice selection.
Add a question type of multiple choice
The following warning appears:
For each of the answer choices you'll see a "Continue to next page" drop down selection.
To skip pages, look at the bottom of each page break section for the After page X: Continue to next page selection.
Here's an example of what you might set up:
If you selected X in the Bowel Movements section, you jump straight to Morning Regrets. Other answers will continue on to Night Terrors. Those that fill out Night Terrors do not need to answer any from the Morning Regrets page and will then continue on to A Brunch to Remember.
