English term or phrase: cédula
Does anyone know if "cédula" could mean questionnaire, survey, or the like? Context is a summary of a project proposal:

"Se seleccionarán en forma aleatoria centros de trabajo en donde se les aplicará a los obreros una Cédula donde se buscarán algunos factores de riesgo para la transmisión de enfermedades..."

Thanks in advance for your help.

Questionaire, survey (in this case)
Explanation:
It's definitely as you put it! La cédula es el instrumento por el cual se hace un censo o una encuesta. En el caso del Censo de Población, el instrumento de recolección de datos es la Cédula Censal.
HTH! :-)

Just an alternative.
I agree with Xen in that it is normally translated as ID, but I don't feel "ID" fits here.
