General notes for QDS programmer
Additional programming notes are located throughout the questionnaire:
1) Use version 2.6.1 of QDS.
2) Every question requires a response to move forward in the application unless otherwise
noted.
3) Use the following values: .D = 8, .R = 7, NA = 6.
4) For all “other–specify” variables in “check all that apply” questions, use the “other” variable
name (which should end in “O”) and add an “S” on the end. If the variable name becomes
too long, then drop the letter immediately preceding the consecutive letter at the end of the
main part of the variable name. For example, if the “other” variable is named
“KINDG_9O”(where KIND is the stem variable name and G denotes the lettered response
option) the “specify” variable should be named “KING_9OS”
5) QDS programming notes are not included in the application; they are merely there to help
with coding.
6) Interviewer instructions and inconsistency checks are notes for the interviewers, but may
also include coding instructions.
7) The QDS codebook should have a brief description of the variable. This includes all
calculated variables.
8) Calculate questionnaire version number using variable name VERSION. This must be
updated every time a change is made in the application.
9) Calculate QDS version number using variable name QDSVERN3. This variable describes the
QDS version used to create the QAD file. For 2014 cycle the value is 2.6.1.
10) Calculate data collection cycle using variable name CYCYR. CYCYR = 2014.
11) For all date variables also create an automatic variable that is a copy of the date variable.
For example, if the variable for date was called DATE, then the automatic variable would
look like: a. variable name: TXFORM, b. type of date: String Expression, c. numeric
calculation/string expression: DATE
12) Label module sections in the codebook. Use the Table of Contents for guidance.
13) PDP start date is January 1, 2014.
14) PDP end date is April 30, 2014.
15) Calculate the time to conduct an interview from D1 to C20 (i.e., exclude Preliminary
Information and Interview Completion sections.
16) Calculate time to conduct each module.
17) Do not include the Response cards and calendars in the QDS program.
18) Distinguish between English and Spanish versions of the questionnaires.
19) The maximum size of text values is 100 except for E5 which is 200.

Met and Unmet Needs
SAY: “For the next set of questions, I’m going to ask about services you used or needed during
the past 12 months, (That is, from last year, (DATE WITH PREVIOUS YEAR) to now (INTERVIEW
DATE).” First I'll ask whether you received the service; then I'll ask whether you needed this
service. If you weren't able to get this service, I’ll ask you the main reason you weren't able to
get it. These questions might sound similar, but I need to ask you all of the questions.”
QDS programming note for Say box before met and unmet need questions: The QDS program
should enter the appropriate dates. EXAMPLE: If IDATE is 11/11/2014 then the program should
read “That is from last year, 11/11/2013 to now 11/11/2014.”
Interviewer instructions: If response to A20a is “No,” “Refused to answer,” or “Don’t know,”
go to A20b; otherwise, skip to A21a. If response to A20b is “Yes,” go to A20c; otherwise, skip

Inconsistency check: The number of doses or set of pills, spoonfuls, or injections missed must be ≤ the number
of times the respondent is supposed to take these pills, spoonfuls, or injections. The number of pills, spoonfuls,

return to previous question (T4).
QDS programming note after T5: If the number of times they missed the medication is greater
than the number of times they are supposed to take the medication, display message to

When question instructions say “insert partner name,” and the variable is in the Partner 1 column, then insert
response from SX_NM1N4 (name of partner 1).
When question instructions say “insert partner name,” and variable is in the Partner 2 column, insert
response to SX_NM2N4 (name of partner 2).
When question instructions say “insert partner name,” and variable is in the same column as Partner 3, insert
