<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Module summary</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This module provides practical advice on selection of measurement tools. Given the wide variety of available tools for data collection including questionnaires, interview guides, as well as clinical, biological and physical tests, choosing appropriate tools for a study may be a challenge. This module will focus on selecting an existing questionnaire, designing new questions for a questionnaire and considerations for selecting biological and clinical tests as well as equipment for measuring physical health indicators. <o:p></o:p></p>
