Best Practices

1. Keep questions clear - Make it obvious what Yes/No means

2. Consider the third option - "Unknown" isn't always appropriate

3. Set defaults when sensible - Pre-select if there's a common answer

4. Match colors to meaning - Consider green for positive, red for negative

5. Use for simple decisions - For complex choices, use Single Selection
