M.A.D.D. has provided a list of questions that its research suggests will help to identify risk factors contributing to this behavior.

In a two to three page paper (excluding title and reference pages), discuss the steps that you would take to establish reliability and validity of this survey. Be sure to describe the type(s) of reliability and validity that you are attempting to establish as part of your consulting project.
