Today I conducted a pilot study on 20 individuals in order to test the reliability of my questionnaire. I found that overall it was well received and participants understood what the questions were asking, however what I noticed is that Q3 doesn't specify that participants need to state what eating disorder they have, if they have one. I also realised that no where in my questionnaire does it ask about ethnicity and as this is a huge topic and area of debate in the field of eating disorders I felt it was imperative to include it. Due to the survey monkey only allowing 10 questions, I added ethnicity to my first question about gender. In order to make sure all ethnicities were represented I used the guidelines as written by the Office of National Statistics (http://ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/measuring-equality/equality/ethnic-nat-identity-religion/ethnic-group/index.html)
I have now amended my questionnaire and will officially start the study in due course.
