Review the questions for a) word choice and question meaning, b) initial agreement on relevance to a construct area, and c) comparison with other questions in the construct grouping. 4. Estimate the time it would take for participants to fully answer all questions. We were aiming for a survey with an average response time of 15 minutes37. The length of questions, including number of sub-questions, were adjusted, as necessary, to support the intended 15-minute response time. For example, questions were organized using matrix formats with a leading question followed by a series of items (e.g., “I am familiar with
