My question has 2 features:
1- The questionnaire or research tool I mean is already developed by someone else and has been published. Now, I just want to use it in my research without changing any item.
2- If I want to add, remove or modify some items, how will the procedure be?
Many thanks in advance
If you are using a validated instrument that was validated in one culture and you are adapting it into another population or culture, it is very very IMPORTANT to ensure that careful cross cultural adaptation has been done. Many times even the validated questionnaires don't work in some situations because of cultural regions. So please do a form of cognitive interviewing of some potential study participants using the instrument to understand if the questions make sense to your study population and the responses you are getting are similar to the ones that you have on the survey.
