However, if a question is clearly irrelevant to your issue, you may need to drop the question unless it is in bold print. Those questions in bold print are essential for scoring. You may also want to add other questions that are more specific to your issue. If you want to add questions, add them to the end to avoid confusion when scoring.
Have two people apply the questions to your topic independently and then meet to arrive at consensus on the revision. You will note that Dimensions A & B are combined. This is to improve the “flow” of the questions. We have also found the information to score these Dimensions seems to be related and it is beneficial to read items from both Dimensions A & B to get a comprehensive score for each Dimension.If translating questions from English into another language, ask a person who is very familiar with the language and culture to translate. Then, have the translated version “back-translated” into English by another person to ensure that the original content of the questions was captured.
Pilot test your revised questions to make sure they are easy to understand and that they elicit the necessary information for scoring each dimension.
