Slide 22 Activity
On a sheet of paper, write down examples of questions
you ask your clients.
Include both open- and closed-ended questions.
Open-ended questions cannot be answered by a "yes,"
or "no" and allow the client to expound on issues.
(Example: What brings you here today?)
Closed-ended questions elicit only a one- or two-word
response. (Example: Do you want a family planning method?)
Write down what kind of information you would expect
to get in response to each question you listed. Do the
closed-ended questions produce only a limited amount of
specific information? Do the open-ended questions solicit
reflection and result in more in-depth information from
the client?
Refer to your questions as you read the following slides.
How can you improve upon the questions you ask your clients?
