<h4>Module summary</h4>
<p>The first section of this module focuses on the different types of measures available for assessing health status and factors related to health: self-reported, observational, biological and clinical data collection, electronic measures. We’ll define and give examples of each type and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these different approaches to data collection. The second section of the module focuses on survey error, the types of errors that can occur during health survey research and strategies to minimize survey error.</p>
