Response domains are not limited to one per question, as some questions may offer the choice of how to answer with multiple response domains (for example having both a code list and a numeric answer response; or a code list with a Generic Response)

The question literal itself must contain any important context for answering the question, particularly relating to the who, when and where.

In this example “Have you recently... ” is added to the beginning of the question literal to include the important context of the time period.

Sub-questions
If presented with a sub-question situation (see Example 6) then you must concatenate the question literal to produce the most concise method of documenting the question and provide the essential contextual information. The question literal should be made up of the common text for all questions followed by the sub-question text.
You can see from Example 6, the question literal here is, "How would you assess the health of your child nowadays?" and concatenate texts "in the past month" and "in the past year", to produce the two seperate separate question items. The response domain will be the four categories you can select in how to answer "1 - very healthy; 2- healthy, but a few minor problems; 3 sometimes quite ill; 4 almost always unwell". The catergories categories in the response domain have a numerical value linked to each, indicating a code list, and therefore the literal text be recognized as a question item. This flags up an important principle, not be seduced by the presentation of the question, but how you interpret the information presented following our entry guidlinesguidelines, as Example 6 could wrongfully be misintereped misinterpreted as a grid (lacks 25 word count, etc).
In Archivist we have replicated question A1, with two question items, labelled "qi_A1_i", and "qi_A1_ii".
The alternative to a question item is a Question Grids, which is used to enter more complex question situations. See Questions for information about how to decide between a Question Item and a Question Grid.
Example 6 Questionnaire: ALSPAC My Son / Daughter's Health & Behaviour
Questionnaire layout:
Archivist view (alspac_94_msdhab):
You can see from Example 6, that in Archivist we have replicated question A1, with two question items, labelled "qi_A1_i", and "qi_A1_ii". The key difference between "qi_A1_i", and "qi_A1_ii", is the duration of the question, "in the past month" and "in the past year."

Reusing question items
When constructing the layout of a questionnaire in Archivist, question items are attached to question constructs. Generally both question constructs and question items are unique with unique labels. However, if a question is asked more than once in a questionnaire, with the identical question literal and identical answer, then a question item may be reused when creating question constructs. The question construct labels must always be unique however, as they represent the positioning of the identical questions in the questionnaire. In Example 6 the exact same question with the exact same answer is asked twice in the questionnaire:
