Guidelines for the development and criteria for the adoption of health survey instruments - Products Manuals and Guidelines

The aim of the present document is to propose guidelines concerning the development and the adoption of instruments to be used in population health surveys in the European Union Member States (either at the national or at the European level). These guidelines can be used in order to follow-up and evaluate the projects for the development of instruments financed by European Commission and can provide the criteria to decide whether a specific instrument can effectively be recommended for health surveys in Europe.
