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:

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.
