Both the domain score sheet and the Y&P-index questions have shown strong discriminatory value.
However, it may not be concluded that the Y&P-index is useful as a solitary index, as these index questions were embedded in the complete interview.
We determined that responses to the five IAQ Practice Index questions must be at least 80% complete for a survey to be included in the index.
We assigned values to index questions based on our professional assessment of the qualitative importance of each question's contribution to good IAQ management practices.
The outcome variable (motivation) of VCHWs was measured by ten index, equal weight questions (yes = 1/no = 0) and the above median value score of the index questions was used as the cutoff point to classify as motivated or not.
The FA index questions about daily-life habits help to identify early signs of functional decline, becoming frail and disabled, and signal where to initiate appropriate preventive measures.
Multiple sources of information, including qualitative and quantitative data, were pooled in an inclusive process that held patient opinion as primary for the identification of Index questions.
The index questions cover policy empowerment elements as follows: Constituent concern with the policy issue and participation in agenda setting (q1, 2), policy planning (q3) and implementation (q4).

§The activity questions Resources 3 to 5 were slightly rephrased for wave 2. Both, risk factors and resources were included equally in the FA index (questions see Table 1): First, we operationalized the frailty phenotype "weight loss, slow gait, weakness, exhaustion, reduced physical activity" [ 4] plus "instability/falls" [ 28].
