Subject:

2008 Census Coverage Measurement Person Interview
Reinterview Instrument Specification – Revision – v.1.1

This memorandum contains the updated specifications for the 2008 Census Coverage
Measurement (CCM) Person Interview (PI) Reinterview (RI) instrument. Our updates include
the back screens and minor corrections in the “Special Instructions” section and on some front
and middle screens. We denote corrections on the front and middle screens by striking through
deletions and shading additions.

The attached specifications outline the PI RI script, skip patterns, special instructions and
proposed screen layouts. These specifications, in conjunction with the detailed PI RI operational
FDCA requirements provided in Memorandum D8-02, 2008 Field Data Collection Automation
Draft Requirements for Census Coverage Measurement Person Interview and Reinterview
Operations (August 1, 2007), should provide the basis for the PI RI instrument development.
The CCM PI RI will be conducted by personal visit and telephone using a computerassisted data collection instrument on a hand held computer. For each CCM PI
enumerator, we will conduct a reinterview on a sample of completed and eligible
interview cases. The purpose of the reinterview is to confirm that the PI enumerator
conducted an interview, correctly verified the unit's status on the PI interview date, and to
conduct a full PI interview when certain questionable conditions exist.
There is a separate interview instrument for the interview component of the PI Operation. The
PI specification will be provided in Memorandum D8-03, 2008 Census Coverage Measurement
Person Interview Instrument Specification (August 1, 2007).
The CCM Person Interview Reinterview field operation for the 2008 Census Dress Rehearsal is
scheduled to occur from 8/27/08 to 10/10/08. The workload is estimated at approximately 1,450
interview cases. Please direct any questions on this specification to Angela-Jo Wetzel on 301763-9277, Patricia Hartman on 301-763-1975 or Gene Sebron on 301-763-1981.

Special Instructions
The following items provide a guideline for interpreting the specifications for the Person
Interview (PI) Reinterview (RI) instrument. This section should be examined prior to reading
the screen specifications.
1.

Screen Specification Table
Our specifications for each screen are outlined in a table consisting of the following eight
sections:
-

Variable Name
Field Description
Universe
Screen Text
Input Options
Fill Instructions
Skip Instructions
Special Instructions

1.1.

Section 1 - Variable Name: This section gives the screen name and its screen
number in alphanumeric. Screen names and numbers are present to add clarity for
the reinterview enumerators (reinterviewers) and to aid in training. Any changes
to the screen names and numbers must be discussed with Census staff. If new
screens need to be created, the screen names need to be consistent with the
purpose of the screen and the screen numbers should follow the numbering used
in that section of the instrument.
We tried to number the screens sequentially within each section of the instrument
– the Front, the Middle, and the Back. The Front screens have a prefix of "F"
before their number; the Middle screens, a prefix of "M"; and the Back screens, a
prefix of "B."
Both screen name and number should appear in the hand held computer (HHC)
for each screen as seen in the specification. Screen names are in all caps
throughout the specifications.

1.2.

Section 2 - Field Description: This section gives a brief description of the screen's
purpose.

1.3.

Section 3 - Universe: The universe gives the conditions for which the screen is
applicable. Note that we may not have included all of the conditions in the
universe for every screen. However, these conditions are important and can be
found in the skip instructions on the originating screen(s).

2008 CCM PI RI Instrument Specification v.1.1

1.4.

Section 4 - Screen Text: This section displays question text, information
useful/helpful to the reinterviewer, and/or information useful/helpful to the
programmer.
1.4.1. To discern what information in Section 4 is for the programmer, the
reinterviewer, and read to the respondent, we used five categories for
screen presentation of text:
- BLACK/BOLD UPPERCASE text is used for variable names.
- Black/Bold text is used to identify text the reinterviewer reads aloud to
the respondent.
- Black/Bold italics text is reserved to show the screen's layer numbers.
- Black plain text is used for response options or for information the
reinterviewer reads to himself or herself, not aloud.
- Italics text is information for the programmer.
1.4.2. Some screen text is designated by a variable fill. The fill is the value of
the variable or the "word" fill for that value. Appendix A lists the wording
for a variable's values when a word fill is specified.

1.5.

Section 5 - Input Options: This section lists the acceptable response choices for
the screen. Only one response per question is allowed unless otherwise stated.
Also, blank is not a valid response option, unless otherwise stated.
The numbers beside the response options should not appear on the screen, but
should be used as the response's input/output value, unless otherwise stated. Note
that for a few of the screens, the responses are not numbered in order.
Special attention should be given to the Don’t Know and Refused response
options. Don’t Know and Refused are options on every screen, unless otherwise
stated. Don’t Know and Refused should not be visible on the screen. However,
they should be rapidly available to the reinterviewer. Don’t Know and Refused
are represented by -91 and -92, respectively, in the skip instructions. Don’t Know
and Refused may not be combined with other responses, unless otherwise stated
(that is, when multiple responses are allowed). Don’t Know and Refused will be
input and output as -91 and -92, respectively, unless otherwise stated.

1.6.

Section 6 - Fill Instructions: When applicable, this section tells the programmer
the conditions for filling each option listed for a fill in the Screen Text section.

1.7.

Section 7 - Skip Instructions: This section tells the programmer the next screen
the instrument should go to if a particular input option is chosen and if certain

4

2008 CCM PI RI Instrument Specification v.1.1

conditions exist. The instructions also tell the programmer what variables to set
and what counters to increment. The skip instructions are written in a linear
progression, so that conditions are tested from top to bottom.
1.8.

2.

3.

Section 8 - Special Instructions: This section, when used, provides other relevant
information to the programmer.

Screen Layout
2.1.

The screen layout will depend on the amount of space on the screen and the
method chosen to display the text.

2.2.

The input method options will depend on the number and nature of the response
categories.

2.3.

If screens need to be broken into multiple screens or changed in some other way,
developers should consult with Census staff.

Functions
3.1.

Case NOTES is a global function available throughout the instrument.

3.2.

HELP for occupancy/unit status questions/decision is a global function available
throughout the instrument.

3.3.

END_NOW is a global function that allows the reinterviewer to end the interview
early. However, it should only be accessable as follows:
3.3.1. At or after INTRO2B, if RI_GROUP=21, 3, 51, 61 or 71.
3.3.2. At of after INTRO2B, if RI_GROUP=1, 5, 6 or 7 and COMPLETE=1.
3.3.3. At or after ROSTER1B(Layer 2), if RI_GROUP=1, 5, 6 or 7 and
COMPLETE=1.

4.

Person Interview Variables Needed for the Person Interview Reinterview
Instrument
The following table lists the variables from the PI Instrument needed as input in the PI RI
Instrument. Since RI variables often use the same names as their corresponding PI
variables, the certain PI instrument variables should be copied to variables with an
"ORIG_" prefix added to the PI variable name. These "ORIG_ " prefixed variables
should then serve as the input variables in the RI instrument.
There are times in the instrument when the PI variables are filled in words. Wording for
the values of these variables is found at the end of this specification document.

Case Control and Employee Information
Each reinterview case must have case control and employee variables associated with it.
These variables include the following types of information:

6.

5.1.

Case control information, similar to that for the corresponding PI case and
required by the Assignment Management System (AMS).

5.2.

Employee information such as the Applicant IDs for both the enumerator
(interviewer) and reinterviewer.

5.3.

Date and time that the case is opened and exited.

Address Fills
The variable SAMPLE_ADDR is a concatenated field of the address information from
the PI instrument. Address variables and variable names are provided by FDCA and may
be subject to change. When filling the PI sample address (SAMPLE_ADDR) in the
reinterview instrument, the following rule applies:
Display House Number, Street Name, and Unit Designation if both the House
Number and Street Name are present (excluding Don’t Know and Refused options).
Otherwise display all the pieces of the address that are present.
The variable ORIG_PROXY_ADDRESS is a concatenated field of the address
information from the PI instrument. It is composed of the following copied PI address
variables: ORIG_PROXY_NUMBER, ORIG_PROXY_STREET,
ORIG_PROXY_UNIT, ORIG_PROXY_CITY, and ORIG_PROXY_STATE.

7

2008 CCM PI RI Instrument Specification v.1.1

7.

ROSTER SCREENS
The PI RI instrument contains various screens that collect household (HH) members'
names. For each of these screens, a drop down for last name should be provided. If the
last name of the first person is filled, then when the reinterviewer goes to the second
person, the last name drop down will be pre-filled with the first person's last name. If the
reinterviewer changes the second person's last name, then the 3rd person’s drop down
will contain both the first person's last name and the second person’s last name, etc.
All roster list information must travel with the case.

8.

Reinterview Categories
MaRCS sets a reinterview category flag for all potential reinterview cases. This flag
must travel with the reinterview case. Values of the RI_CATEGORY Flag for eligible RI
cases are:
1 - Sample HH interviewed
2 - Proxy interviewed, contact information available
3 - Proxy interviewed, contact information not available
5 - Proxy interviewed, sample HH vacant, seasonally vacant or not a housing unit, and
contact information available
6 - Proxy interviewed, sample HH vacant, seasonally vacant or not a housing unit, and
contact information not available
7 - Sample HH vacant, seasonally vacant or not a housing unit, and unit status determined
by enumerator (interviewer) observation or respondent type of “Other” or Don’t
know”.

9.

Reinterview Groups
Some of the RI Categories subdivide into groups based on the number of reinterview
attempts and/or the results of the reinterview those attempts. The possible Categories and
Groups are:
- Category 1 – Group 1
- Category 1 – Group 11
- Category 2 – Group 2
- Category 2 – Group 21
- Category 3 – Group 3
- Category 5 – Group 5
- Category 5 – Group 51
- Category 6 – Group 6
- Category 6 – Group 61
- Category 7 – Group 7
- Category 7 – Group 71

8

2008 CCM PI RI Instrument Specification v.1.1

A brief description of each of the groups follows:
9.1.

Category 1 - Group 1
For RI cases where the original PI respondent was a HH member, we attempt to
reinterview the original respondent.
If the original respondent is not available and another HH member is available,
that person will be reinterviewed.
If the original HH confirms that a PI interview took place, we attempt to complete
a reinterview with that HH. We do not reinterview a proxy.
If the original HH does not confirm that a PI interview took place, we attempt to
complete a FULL PI interview with that HH. We do not interview a proxy.

9.2.

Category 1 – Group 11
If the original HH cannot be contacted after six attempts, or will not be available
for an extended period on any attempt, attempts will be made to reinterview a
proxy respondent.
At the point a Category 1 case is set to interview a proxy respondent, rather than a
HH respondent, the case converts from a Group 1 case to a Group 11 case. The
reinterview is structured differently, as we will no longer be contacting the
original respondent.

9.3.

Category 2 – Group 2
For RI cases where the original PI respondent was a proxy, and we have enough
contact information about the proxy, we attempt to contact the original proxy
respondent.
If the original proxy respondent confirms that a PI interview took place, we
attempt to complete a reinterview with that person.

9.4.

Category 2 – Group 21
If the original proxy refuses to be reinterviewed at all, or does not confirm that a
PI interview took place, attempts will be made to complete a FULL PI interview
with a the PI sample HH respondent.
If the original proxy respondent is not available after six attempts, or will not be
available for an extended period on any attempt, we attempt to complete a FULL
PI interview with the PI sample HH.

9

2008 CCM PI RI Instrument Specification v.1.1

At the point a Category 2 case is set to interview a HH respondent rather than a
proxy respondent, the case converts from a Group 2 case to a Group 21 case. The
reinterview is structured differently, as we will no longer be contacting the
original respondent.
9.5.

Category 3 – Group 3
When we do not have sufficient information to contact the original proxy, we go
directly to the PI sample HH. We make six attempts to conduct the FULL PI
interview with the HH. No proxy interviews are attempted.

9.6.

Category 5 – Group 5
For a vacant, a seasonally vacant, or a “not a housing unit (HU)" case with
sufficient original proxy respondent contact information, we attempt to
reinterview the original proxy or an eligible member of the proxy HH respondent
(PI sample HH member or proxy HH member). If we find that the PI sample
address was occupied on the PI date, and the original proxy respondent is a
member of the PI sample address, we conduct a FULL PI interview with the
original proxy respondent.

9.7.

Category 5 – Group 51
If a vacant, a seasonally vacant, or a "not a HU" case with sufficient original
proxy respondent contact information was occupied on the PI date, and the
original proxy respondent is NOT a member of the PI sample address, we attempt
to conduct a FULL PI interview with an eligible HH member of the PI sample
address.
At the point a Category 5 case is set to interview a PI sample HH respondent,
rather than a the original proxy respondent, the case converts from a Group 5 case
to a Group 51 case. The reinterview is structured differently, as we will no longer
be contacting the original respondent.

9.8.

Category 6 – Group 6
For vacant, seasonally vacant, or "not a HU" cases with insufficient original proxy
respondent contact information, we attempt to reinterview a new respondent (PI
sample HH member or new proxy HH member). If we find that the PI sample
address was occupied on the PI date, and the new respondent is a member of the
PI sample address, we conduct a FULL PI interview with the new proxy
respondent.

10

2008 CCM PI RI Instrument Specification v.1.1

9.9.

Category 6 – Group 61
If a vacant, seasonally vacant, or "not a HU" case with insufficient proxy
respondent contact information was occupied on the PI date, and the new
respondent is NOT a member of the PI sample address, we conduct a FULL PI
interview with an eligible HH member of the PI sample address.
At the point a Category 6 case is set to interview the PI sample address because
the new respondent is not an eligible HH member, the case converts from a Group
6 case to a Group 61 case. The reinterview is structured differently, since we are
required to contact the PI sample address.

9.10.

Category 7 – Group 7
For a vacant, a seasonally vacant, or a "not a HU" case whose unit status was
determined by interviewer observation or respondent type of “Other” or Don’t
know”, we attempt to reinterview a new respondent (PI sample HH member or
new proxy HH member). If we find that the PI sample address was occupied on
the PI date, and the new respondent is a member of the PI sample address, we
conduct a FULL PI interview with the new respondent.

9.11.

Category 7 – Group 71
If a vacant, a seasonally vacant, or a "not an HU" case whose unit status was
determined by interviewer observation, was occupied on the PI date, and the new
respondent is NOT a member of the PI sample address, we conduct a FULL PI
interview with an eligible HH member of the PI sample address.
At the point a Category 7 case is set to interview the PI sample address because
the new respondent is not an eligible HH member, the case converts from a Group
7 case to a Group 71 case. The reinterview is structured differently, since we are
required to contact the PI sample address.

9.12. A case in Groups 21, 3, 51, 61 or 71, or a case in Groups 1, 5, 6 or 7 that requires
a FULL PI interview, becomes a noninterview after the PI sample HH refuses, six
attempts to interview the HH have been made, or the HH is unavailable for an
extended period.
9.13.

10.

The case’s category (RI_CATEGORY) and updated group number (RI_GROUP)
must travel with the case.

Pathing to Person Interview Instrument Screens
10.1.

If a reinterview case requires a Full PI interview, the skip instructions in the PI RI
Instrument Specification will lead to either the ROSTER_ADDRESS1 screen or
the REVIEW1 screen in the PI Instrument Specification. The reinterview case

11

2008 CCM PI RI Instrument Specification v.1.1

will then follow the PI Instrument Specification from that screen onward to the
end (CLOSE). At the PI’s close routine, the PI RI instrument will set the PI
outcome code (OUTCOME) according to the PI Instrument Specification, but will
NOT close the case. Instead, the PI RI instrument will proceed to the RI notes
screen (NOTES), and then to the RI close routine (RI_CLOSE), following the PI
RI Instrument Specification. At the PI RI’s close routine, the PI RI instrument
will set the PI RI outcome code (RI_OUTCOME) and close the case.
10.1.1 Appendix B lists the PI RI outcome codes.
10.1.2. Appendix C gives the instructions for setting PI outcome codes as detailed
in the PI Instrument Specification.

11.

10.2.

When following the PI Instrument Specification, adhere to instructions for
question type (Person Based, Topic Based, Household Based), Rosters, Age
Calculations, and Date Fills outlined in the Special Instructions in the PI
Instrument Specification.

10.3

Note that some of the screen names in the PI RI Instrument
Specification are identical to similar screens in the PI instrument
Specification. This should not cause a problem. If the reinterview
path leads to either ROSTER_ADDRESS1 or REVIEW1, proceed
with the PI instrument screens, as specified. If not, continue with
the RI instrument screens.

References
We have prepared two separate reference documents to assist us in developing our
instrument specifications. These references may also be useful in programming the RI
instrument:
11.1.

Reference A, Screen Page Index, gives a page number cross reference of the
screens in the English and the Spanish PI RI Instrument Specifications and on the
Instrument Flowchart.

11.2.

Reference B, Instrument Flowchart, pictorially describes the skip pattern for each
response choice on each screen.

A housing unit (also known as separate living quarters) is one in
which:
1) The household members live separately from other person(s) in
the building,
AND
2) The household members have direct access from the outside of
the building OR through a common hall (as in an apartment).
If the housing unit is vacant, the criteria of separateness and direct
access apply to the intended occupants.
Examples: a house, an apartment, a trailer or mobile home, a group
of rooms, or a single room.
(Also see special rules for empty mobile home sites and moved
trailers.)

Layer 3 More – Housing Unit
A tent, a cave or even a burned out building, can also be considered
to be housing units, If they are OCCUPIED by someone with no
other usual residence.
A house or an apartment that is used for commercial purposes is not
considered to be a housing unit. A model home or model apartment
are two examples of this. These units are reported as "Not a housing
unit" and "Business" in the instrument. The same is true of a unit
used purely for storage purposes.
Addresses used as Group Quarters (dormitories, nursing homes, etc.)

Vacant

Layer 2
A vacant unit is any housing unit that was not occupied on
the day of the PI.
A "Vacant" housing unit is not for seasonal or occasional use and
was not occupied on the PI date.
A "Seasonal vacant" or "Seasonal occupied" housing unit is for
seasonal or occasional use and was either vacant or occupied for less
than two months by persons with a usual residence elsewhere on the
day of the PI.
(Also see rules for empty mobile home sites and moved trailers.)

Usual Residence

Layer 2
A usual residence is defined as the place where an occupant lives
and sleeps most of the time.
Examples:
A live in employee who spends 4 or more nights a week at the
employer’s residence should be counted as living there. The unit
where he spends the other 3 nights is considered to be a "Vacant"
and "For occasional use" housing unit, whether or not the employee
was in occupancy there on the day of the PI.
If a household has more than one home, their usual residence is the
one in which they live and sleep the most time.

A person’s usual residence, as classified by the Census Bureau, does
not always agree with what a person considers his usual residence to
be. It is not necessarily their voting address, or the address on their
driver’s license, or any other criteria they might apply. It is the
residence where they live and sleep most of the time.
The definition of usual residence is important since it can be the
factor that can make the difference in a unit being considered to be
an occupied unit or a vacant unit.
In the case of unusual addresses, such as a tent, it can be the
difference between the address being considered to be an occupied
housing unit and not a housing unit.

A location outside of a mobile home park, or trailer park, which no
longer holds a mobile home, is reported as "Not a housing unit" and

PI Outcome Codes – OUTCOME
•

The PI outcome codes (OUTCOME) are set in the following order: 200, 202, 201, 208,
203, 209, 326, 327, 333, 334, 213, 218, 216
• Flags set by the instrument are indicated by italics.
• Screen names are in all caps
• The PI Outcome Code also needs to be set for PI RI Cases that link to the PI instrument
screens (PI_SCREENS=1) in order to complete a full PI (COMPLETE=1). After setting
OUTCOME, the PI RI Case does not close, but goes to the PI RI instrument screen
NOTES, followed by the PI RI end routine RI_CLOSE.

OUTCOME=200, 202
Before a case is opened in the instrument it will have an outcome of 200. Once the case is
opened, the outcome code should be set to 202. Both 200 and 202 cases remain on the HHC.

OUTCOME=201
Complete Interview with household member respondent. Transmitted daily to HQ processing.
The criteria found in 1-7 below must be met for the case to be a 201.
1.

All questions asked are answered.
•

Note: Don’t Know (-91) and Refused (-92) are acceptable responses except for
the following fields (Details in # 3-7 below):
- First and Last Names
- 2 of the following: sex, age, relationship
- Mover Questions (inmover, outmover)
- Alternate Address questions (college, relative, job, military, seasonal home,
other place, GQ)

AND
2.

Household member respondent
ATTEMPT_TYPE=1, 3

•

AND
3.

Valid First and Last names for every person on the initial roster (excluding the whole
household outmover roster). The roster's person name shall be defined as valid when
determining outcome codes if the first name and middle initial combined have two or
more alpha characters and the last name has 2 or more alpha characters or if the first
and last name each have 2 or more alpha characters. Although blank, Don’t Know,
and Refused are acceptable responses to the question, they are not considered valid
responses for purposes of setting the outcome code. The following conditions must
be satisfied:
• FIRST – valid response (blank not acceptable)

2008 CCM PI RI Instrument Specification v.1.1

Appendix C - 2
•
•

LAST – valid response (blank not acceptable)
FIRST and MIDDLE combined have two or more alpha characters and the last
name has two or more alpha characters or FIRST and LAST each have two or more
alpha characters

The mover status questions (HERE_CD, OUTMOVER) must have a valid response
except in the situation where we have a whole household of inmovers (WHI=1) or a
whold household of never residents (WHNR=1). In this case the Outmover question
(OUTMOVER) would not be asked, so a blank response would be valid. HERE_CD
is asked at a person level and OUTMOVER is asked at a household level. Blank,
Don’t Know, and Refused are not valid responses when setting the outcome code.
• HERE_CD – must have valid response for each person
• OUTMOVER – If WHI NE 1 or WHNR NE 1 must have a valid response. If
WHI=1 or WHNR=1, blank is acceptable.

A valid response is required for the alternate addresses questions that are asked. The

below are asked once for the household except for the GQ_PLACE question which is
asked at the person level. Blank, Don’t Know, and Refused are not valid responses.

must have a response other than blank, Don’t Know, and Refused.
Each address contains the following pieces: House Number (*_HOUSE), Street
Name (*_STREET), Unit Designation (*_UNIT), City (*_CITY), State (*_STATE),

on the type of address being collected (IN_*, COL_*, OTHER_*).
