2. Are there any reverse-scored items that need to be rescored before data can be analyzed?,
3. Are there any subscales or total scores that need to be calculated?,
4. How can the variables in the database be labeled to best identify the correct items and avoid future errors?,
5. How can errors in data entry be avoided or caught to ensure valid results?,
