Design, piloting, and iteration

Developing the study design

For any underdetermined choices in the study design, there are a few sources we can draw on:

• Piloting
• Cognitive tests
• Academic work
• Research notes
• Intuition

Piloting

Running pilots is a crucial step in improving the study design — typically including the survey instruments and the overall study flow.
