We also began testing comprehension of draft items in the final third of the 81 participants by obtaining feedback about readability and clarity of question.
In my tests of Draft-N, distance and speed were greatly increased, making it a standard with a good deal of potential as soon as it is, in fact, standardized.
3. Development and pilot testing of the draft GREET statement and accompanying E&E paper.
Each country identified 20 facilities (units) in which to carry out inter-rater reliability testing of the draft toolkit that: provided for adults with longer term mental health problems (length of stay at least six months); had at least six patients/residents; had communal facilities; had staff on site, ideally 24 hours per day.
This was achieved by ensuring that items included in the measure had been raised as important issues in each country where patient interviews were completed and by extensive testing of the draft questionnaire with samples of patients in each country for which a version was developed.
The SAGE tool has been adapted from the WHO's World Health Survey implemented in 70 countries, from 16 other cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on ageing including the US Health and Retirement Study and English Longitudinal Study on Ageing, and cognitive testing of the draft tool in South Africa and Viet Nam in 2004.
The course addresses formative research principles and methods; pre-testing of draft material, scripts, and approaches; monitoring of SBCC programmes, including the development and measurement of indicators; and evaluation.
The process of articulating potential challenges in the planned collaboration, and testing drafts of the concordat against these, is particularly important in helping to uncover the implicit assumptions and expectations held by different parties, and to identify ambiguities about roles and relationships.
