The format and position of interviewer instructions varies from questionnaire to questionnaire. Depending on where the instruction appears and in which text format, we decide whether it should be entered as an instruction or as part of the question literal. When the formatting is not text follows on the same line as the question text (i.e. in Bold) and/or literal, it is entered as part of the question literal. When there is a carriage returnĀ return (i.e. it is on a separate line) then , the instruction text may be entered as an instruction , (see Example 1). When the text is on a separate line, the formatting of the text (i.e., bold, in brackets) can provide an indication of whether the text should be entered as an instruction or a statement.
