MEMORANDUM FOR

Barbara M. LoPresti
Chief, Technologies Management Office

From:

Alan R. Tupek
Chief, Demographic Statistical Methods Division

Subject:

Consumer Expenditure Diary (CED) Survey 2000 Sample
Redesign - Specifications for the Computer Assisted Personal
Interview (CAPI) Quality Control (QC) Reinterview Blaise
Instrument

I.

Purpose
This memorandum documents specifications for the CAPI QC reinterview instrument for
the CED Survey 2000 Sample Redesign. These specifications are for a Blaise
instrument. Use these specifications in conjunction with the memorandum, Specifications
for a Generic Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) Quality Control (QC)
Reinterview Blaise Instrument.

II.

Quality Control Reinterview
CAPI original interviews and Type B and C noninterviews are eligible for a QC
reinterview. The primary goal of the QC reinterview is to detect falsification by the field
representatives or supervisory field representatives ((S)FRs). The reinterview instrument
includes paths for telephone reinterviews and personal visit reinterviews.

III.

Instrument Specifications
We broke down our specifications for the generic QC reinterview instrument into three
major parts. The front specifications, Section XIII, include the screens that direct the
reinterviewer to make contact, introduce himself/herself, and ask for the respondent. The
middle specifications, Section XIV, include the roster verification screens and the survey
specific questions used to determine whether falsification occurred. The back
specifications, Section XV, include the thank you screens and the screens that set up
callbacks, assign reinterview dispositions, and wrap up the case.

2
This memorandum includes in Sections XIII-XIV only those screens that are new or have
changes to the generic specifications. For your convenience, we identify changes to the
generic screens by highlighting any additions and striking out any deletions. Since these
specifications are also very similar to those issued for the 2004 CED reinterview, we
identify additions and deletions to the 2004 specifications by placing those highlights and
strikeouts within braces { }.
As in the generic specifications, we divide the display of a screen’s info pane into the text
section and the answer list section. Any text given in italics in the text section denotes
read only information that is not said aloud by the reinterviewer. Display this italicized
text in regular font in blue on the screen.
Attachment A, CED Survey 2000 Sample Redesign - Reinterview Instrument Screen
Index, provides the page number(s) of each screen displayed in these specifications.
Attachment B, CED Survey 2000 Sample Redesign - Reinterview Blaise Instrument
Flowcharts, displays the pathing of all screens in the front, middle and back portions of
the instrument. Attachment C, CED Survey 2000 Sample Redesign - Reinterview
Instrument Flowchart Index, offers an index to the screens in the flowcharts.
IV.

Record-Typed Reinterview Input File
Attachment D contains the format of the Reinterview Sample Control Input File (SCIF)
for the CED Survey 2000 Sample Redesign. This Reinterview SCIF lists all of the
variables by record type that are on the reinterview input file. The original instrument
needs to set or initialize these variables, except for the few that come from the
Demographic Statistical Methods Division (DSMD) generic reinterview system. DSMD
creates the reinterview input files using the generic reinterview system.
Refer to the Reinterview SCIF in Attachment D for information regarding the
description, length, and values of each of the variables required for reinterview. Record
Type 8500 in Attachment D shows the generic household level variables in positions 183 and the generic person level variables in position 1-90. CED Survey specific
household and person level variables follow these positions.
The following is a list of only those reinterview input file variables utilized in the CED
Survey 2000 Sample Redesign reinterview instrument. These variables are used either to
set new variables, to "fill" entries on the screen, or to control pathing. The original
instrument must set and output these variables. Some of these variables are used in the
generic portions of the reinterview instrument. If the CED Survey uses a different name
for any of these generic variables, the CED name is noted in the ‘Description’ column.
Convert the variable’s CED name to its generic name in the manipula script when
extracting the original output for reinterview.

Variables Set in the Reinterview Instrument
A.

The CED original instrument sets placement date, pickup date, and outcome for
both the Week 1 and Week 2 Diaries, but sets one final outcome (ORIOUT) for
the case. As a result, it is necessary to set the new variable ORIOUT_I and to
reset the input variables ORIOUT and INTDATE in the CED reinterview
instrument in order to verify the outcome for the appropriate week. Reset
ORIOUT and INTDATE as follows:
1.

Set ORIOUT_I = ORIOUT.

2.

Reset ORIOUT, only after setting ORIOUT_I, as follows:

7
If ORIOUT_I = 201, ORIOUT = 201.
If ORIOUT_I = 203, ORIOUT = 203.
If ORIOUT_I = 204 and PICK_UP2 = 326, ORIOUT = 205.
If ORIOUT_I = 204 and PICK_UP2 ≠ 326, ORIOUT = PICK_UP2.
If ORIOUT_I = 206, ORIOUT = 206.
If ORIOUT_I = 207 and PICK_UP1 = 326, ORIOUT = 208.
If ORIOUT_I = 207 and PICK_UP1 ≠ 326, ORIOUT = 207.
If ORIOUT_I = 210 and PICK_UP1 = 216, 219, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325
(Type A noninterview) and PICK_UP2 = 326, ORIOUT = 211.
If ORIOUT_I = 210 and PICK_UP1 = 216, 219, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325
(Type A noninterview) and PICK_UP2 ≠ 326, ORIOUT = PICK_UP2.
If ORIOUT_I = 210 and PICK_UP2 = 216, 219, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325
(Type A noninterview) and PICK_UP1 = 326, ORIOUT = 212.
If ORIOUT_I = 210 and PICK_UP2 = 216, 219, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325
(Type A noninterview) and PICK_UP1 ≠ 326, ORIOUT = PICK_UP1.
If ORIOUT_I = 326 and PICK_UP1 = 326, ORIOUT = 209.
If ORIOUT_I = 326 and PICK_UP1 ≠ 326, ORIOUT = 326.
If ORIOUT_I > 210 and ORIOUT_I ≠ 326, ORIOUT = PICK_UP2.
3.

Reset INTDATE, only after resetting ORIOUT, as follows:
If ORIOUT = 201, INTDATE = PLCEDAT1.
If ORIOUT = 203, INTDATE = PLCEDAT1.
If ORIOUT = 204, INTDATE = PLCEDAT2.
If ORIOUT = 205, INTDATE = PLCEDAT1.
If ORIOUT = 206, INTDATE = PLCEDAT2.
If ORIOUT = 207, INTDATE = PLCEDAT2.
If ORIOUT = 208, INTDATE = PLCEDAT1.
If ORIOUT = 209, INTDATE = PLCEDAT1.
If ORIOUT = 211, INTDATE = PLCEDAT2.
If ORIOUT = 212, INTDATE = PLCEDAT1.
If ORIOUT > 212, INTDATE = PLCEDAT2.

Note: Set ORIOUT_I, ORIOUT, and INTDATE only once at initial entry. Do
not reset if a case is reopened.
B.

The generic portions of the reinterview instrument use the following variables.
Set these variables in the CED reinterview instrument as follows.
RPROXY_A

This is a flag indicating whether a proxy is allowed in the
reinterview. Set to
1 = proxy allowed in reinterview

8
OPROXY_A

This is a flag indicating whether a proxy interview is
allowed in the original interview. Set to
1 = proxy allowed in original interview

OPROXY_U

This is a flag indicating for which household member a
proxy was used in the original interview. However, since
the use of proxies is not an issue, this flag is not set in the

 This is an array of 16 elements. It contains a list of codes
indicating the various discrepancies found during the
reinterview. When the reinterview instrument indicates a
discrepancy, the instrument will store the appropriate code
in this array. Upon wrapping up a case, the
DISCREPANCY array is copied into the Reinterview
Notes.
ORIOUT_RSLT

This is a string variable (four characters in length)
indicating the type of original outcome for a case. Set, only
after ORIOUT is reset, as follows:
If ORIOUT = 201,203, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 211, 212,
326, then ORIOUT_RSLT = INT.
If ORIOUT = 216, 219, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, then
ORIOUT_RSLT = A.
If ORIOUT = 217, 224, 225, 226, 228, 229, 231, 232, 331

Variables Passed between Case Management and the Reinterview Instrument
A.

B.

C.

Variables from Case Management
1.

Case Management sets ACTION based on OUTCOME. See Attachment
F, CED Reinterview Disposition, Outcome and Action Codes, for values.
This variable must be included in the reinterview output.

2.

The reinterview instrument obtains the name of the (S)FR, variable
FR_NAME, from Case Management.

3.

The reinterview instrument obtains the reinterviewer’s FR code,
FRCODE, from Case Management. If the RO reassigns a case, it changes
FRCODE in ROSCO. Case Management then passes the updated variable
to the reinterview instrument.

Variables from Case Management and the Reinterview Instrument
1.

The reinterviewer can update the sample unit phone number (AREA,
PRFIX, SUFFIX, EXTN) and appointment time (CALLBACK) in both
Case Management and the reinterview instrument. Case Management
and the reinterview instrument pass these variables, with any updates,
back and forth to each other.

2.

Case Management and the reinterview instrument also pass the case ID
(CASEID) and control number (CTRLNUM) back and forth to each other.
These variables serve as identifiers for the case.

Variables from the Reinterview Instrument
1.

The reinterviewer can also update the contact person phone number
(CPPHON and CPEXT) in the reinterview instrument. The reinterview
instrument passes these variables, with any updates, to Case Management.
The CED reinterview instrument must reset these variables back to
CP1PHON and CP1EXT when it passes them to Case Management.

13
2.

VII.

The reinterview instrument sets OUTCOME and RI_DISP, as stated in
Section V, above, and passes them to Case Management.

A.

Display the household roster in the CED reinterview instrument as follows:
•

Include all persons who have not been deleted in the original interview.

•

Exclude a person from the household roster if PERSTAT = 7 or 99. This
denotes a person deleted in the original interview (7) or a person the
interviewer realizes he/she mistakenly listed when entering the household
roster (99).

•

Do not leave blank lines between persons included in the household roster.
Rather, condense the listing to compensate for any deleted person.

•

List household members first (HH_MEM = 1), followed by nonhousehold members (HH_MEM = 2). Gray the listing of all nonhousehold members.

Generic screens that display the household roster are: HHCOMP, RIRESP,
ROSTER_1, ROSTER_2, ROSTER_3, and ROSTER_4.
B.

X.

Don't you have anything better to do with my tax dollars?
I'm too busy to answer your questions again.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses the data from this survey to measure the changes in prices
in consumer goods and services. Information collected in this survey contributes to the
Consumer Price Index, which assesses the change in purchasing power of consumer dollars.
The Census Bureau’s method of measuring data quality for this survey is to re-contact a
percentage of respondents to check that the data was collected correctly during the original
interview. We believe this method helps the Census Bureau prevent the wasting of your tax
dollars.

UNIVERSE - H_PURPOSE = 1

What is this survey all about?
Who uses this information?
The Consumer Expenditure Diary Survey collects information from households and families
on their buying habits. It helps us to understand what products and services are bought and
how much is spent.
This survey has a number of uses. The most important is the periodic revision of the
Consumer Price Index. The Consumer Price Index provides cost of living and wage
adjustments, social security payment adjustments, and helps determine the cost of school
lunches.

How long will this take?
How many times will you visit?
I will be here a short time today to ask a few questions about your household. I will also drop
off your first diary. How long it will take to write your expenses each day depends on how
many things you buy. Some days you may have nothing to record, other days you may have a
lot to record. It averages out to about 15 minutes a day.
After today, I will return in a week to pick up your completed diary and drop off the second
diary. At the end of the second week, I will return to pick up the second completed diary and
ask a few final questions.

Is this survey real?
Yes. The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts the Consumer Expenditure Diary Survey under
the authority of Title 29 of the U.S. Code. Congress authorizes the financial support for the
CE survey through Public Laws 94-439 and 95-205.
The Census Bureau collects the CE data under the authority of Title 13, U.S. Code, Section
8b, which allows the Census Bureau to undertake surveys for other government agencies.
Participation in the survey is voluntary. Under Title 13, the Census Bureau holds all
information in strict confidence. We will not release information reported in the survey which
would permit the identification of a household or any of its members to anyone outside of the
Census Bureau.
