Self-rated health in diabetes: should the question be the first administered?
In 599 individuals with Type 2 diabetes, mode of administration of self-rated health did not affect ratings when the item was placed before or after health-related questions. 85% of individuals had stable ratings providing support for comparisons across studies using the measure in this population.
