Attachment B1--Questionnaire Changes to Reduce Interview Length
These are the items that were deleted from the female questionnaire. We estimate the time savings at about 9 minutes, enough to reach our intended length of 80 minutes for women. The last column indicates whether we will make the same change for males, and the male question number. Questionnaire length for males is satisfactory at about 60 minutes. Rs = Respondents
