Tips for creating Questions

Questions should have a name that clearly describes what will be collected. A question can have multiple Value Domains associated with it.

Once a question has been saved, the collected Data Element can be attached.

Official Definition

Describes the text used to elicit a response for the Concept to be measured. A Question may be a single question used to obtain a response, or may be a multiple question, a construct which links multiple sub-questions, each with their own response. A Question also includes a relationship to the Value Domain to document the associated response criteria for the question. A single response question will have one Value Domain associated with it, while a 'multiple question' may have more than one Value Domain. A Question should be designed with re-use in mind, as it can be used in multiple Questionnaires. Generic Statistical Information Model, GSIM Question Definition
