- Ensure the most recent version of the PDF is being used (check the PDF we have against the study website).
- There are two versions of the questionnaire in one (web mode and telephone mode. Do not add questions or sections based on telephone mode.
- The correct sequence and study wave is included in the qc/qi labels.
- If there is a missing response domain, check the previous waves to see if it's included and use that.
- Create specific numeric response domains where possible. Search for the question in the XML to see if there is a min and max. If no "min" and "max" is shown in XML file, use "How many" (see Example 1).
