Design: Internally generated questionnaire.
We generated questionnaire items in focus group sessions with content experts and refined them through a standardized process of clinical sensibility, pilot and intra-rater reliability testing.
Appropriate parsing of an EpiBasket XML output file greatly facilitates further importation of the questions (including the proposed answers) constituting the generated questionnaire in any popular relational database-management system.
It generates questionnaires based on imprecise selection criteria and gives the consumer the opportunity to provide her subjective opinion about them.
They also completed study-generated questionnaires regarding their treatment regimen, comorbid illnesses, presence of diabetes complications, time since diagnosis, and demographic and socioeconomic factors.
Practically, the free and open-source software that we provide allows practitioners to simply list the prognostic factors and behavioural outcome of the intervention, automatically generating questionnaires and allocating participants into groups upon completion of the questionnaires.
For collecting phenotypic data, COINS provides an easy-to-use form builder that generates questionnaires of varying complexity for web-based data entry, for use by participants at home or in a research office.
A hypothesis generating questionnaire was used to get insight into possible sources of C. burnetii infection.
