Survey pilot study

Test the survey instrument in a pilot study and run psychometrics

The survey pilot study comprises administering the survey instrument to a pilot sample of between 150-300 participants from the population of interest.  These numbers are required so that there will be enough statistical power to run exploratory psychometric analyses. Upon completion of the pilot study, two different analyses are conducted to "pilot" the instrument and establish its preliminary psychometric properties:

1. Reliability

2. Principal Components Analysis (PCA)
