GENERAL PROGRAMMER INSTRUCTIONS:

WHEN PROGRAMMING INSTRUMENTS, VALIDATE FIELD LENGTHS AND TYPES AGAINST THE MDES TO ENSURE DATA COLLECTION RESPONSES DO NOT EXCEED THOSE OF THE MDES. SOME GENERAL ITEM LIMITS USED ARE AS FOLLOWS:

DATA ELEMENT FIELDS	MAXIMUM CHARACTERS PERMITTED	DATA TYPE	PROGRAMMER INSTRUCTIONS
ADDRESS AND EMAIL FIELDS	100	CHARACTER
UNIT AND PHONE FIELDS	10	CHARACTER
_OTH AND COMMENT FIELDS	255	CHARACTER	Limit text to 255 characters
FIRST NAME AND LAST NAME	30	CHARACTER	Limit text to 30 characters
ALL ID FIELDS	36	CHARACTER
ZIP CODE	5	NUMERIC
ZIP CODE LAST FOUR	4	NUMERIC
CITY	50	CHARACTER
DOB AND ALL OTHER DATE FIELDS (E.G., DT, DATE, ETC.)	10	NUMERIC CHARACTER	DISPLAY AS MM/DD/YYYY STORE AS YYYY-MM-DD HARD EDITS: MM MUST EQUAL 01 TO 12 DD MUST EQUAL 01 TO 31 YYYY MUST BE BETWEEN 1900 AND CURRENT YEAR.
TIME VARIABLES	TWO-DIGIT HOUR AND TWO-DIGIT MINUTE, AM/PM DESIGNATION	NUMERIC	HARD EDITS: HOURS MUST BE BETWEEN 00 AND 12; MINUTES MUST BE BETWEEN 00 AND 59

Instrument Guidelines for Participant and Respondent IDs:

PRENATALLY, THE P_ID IN THE MDES HEADER IS THAT OF THE PARTICIPANT (E.G. THE NON-PREGNANT WOMAN, PREGNANT WOMAN, OR THE FATHER).

POSTNATALLY, A RESPONDENT ID WILL BE USED IN ADDITION TO THE PARTICIPANT ID BECAUSE SOMEBODY OTHER THAN THE PARTICIPANT MAY BE COMPLETING THE INTERVIEW. FOR EXAMPLE, THE PARTICIPANT MAY BE THE CHILD AND THE RESPONDENT MAY BE THE MOTHER, FATHER, OR ANOTHER CAREGIVER. THEREFORE, MDES VERSION 2.2 AND ALL FUTURE VERSIONS CONTAIN A R_P_ID (RESPONDENT PARTICIPANT ID) HEADER FIELD FOR EACH POST-BIRTH INSTRUMENT. THIS WILL ALLOW ROCs TO INDICATE WHETHER THE RESPONDENT IS SOMEBODY OTHER THAN THE PARTICIPANT ABOUT WHOM THE QUESTIONS ARE BEING ASKED.

A REMINDER:

ALL RESPONDENTS MUST BE CONSENTED AND HAVE RECORDS IN THE PERSON, PARTICIPANT, PARTICIPANT_CONSENT AND LINK_PERSON_PARTICIPANT TABLES, WHICH CAN BE PRELOADED INTO EACH INSTRUMENT. ADDITIONALLY, IN POST-BIRTH QUESTIONNAIRES WHERE THERE IS THE ABILITY TO LOOP THROUGH A SET OF QUESTIONS FOR MULTIPLE CHILDREN, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CAPTURE AND STORE THE CORRECT CHILD P_ID ALONG WITH THE LOOP INFORMATION. IN THE MDES VARIABLE LABEL/DEFINITION COLUMN, THIS IS INDICATED AS FOLLOWS: EXTERNAL IDENTIFIER: PARTICIPANT ID FOR CHILD DETAIL.

CDI01000/(CHILD_DEATH_INTRO). I am sorry to hear that {C_FNAME/the child} passed away. {He/She} was an important part of the National Children’s Study and the Study appreciates the contribution that {he/she} made during {his/her} time in the Study. It is important to the goals of the Study to understand what happened in the time period between the last time we spoke with someone about {C_FNAME/the child} and when {he/she} died. We would like to talk with someone who can provide some information about {C_FNAME/the child}’s death. We understand that this is a difficult time for you and your family. If you are unable or do not wish to talk about {C_FNAME/the child}’s death right now, I can {call/come} back at a better time.

 

Would you be able to answer some questions about {C_FNAME/the child}’s death?
