NRFU WHITE LIST


Text boxes in the NRFU instrument should only accept the following characters:

a-z A-Z ñáéíóúüÑÁÉÍÓÚÜ 0-9 [ ] { } ~ % $ ? ¿ # @ ! ¡ - _ ( ) / : ; "' . , * + =



Description of Global Options across all screens:

  • DK/REF

  • The DK/REF option for screens that have it available exhibit a global behavior and is not readily available on screen as an option.  Once DK/REF is available as a response option, selecting either DK (if available) or REF will default the original response options to an unselected or null value.  Similarly, with the DK/REF options available on a screen, selecting any of the original options will set the DK/REF response to a null value.

  • Exit Survey

  • Upon pressing the Exit Survey icon, a pop-up (not a hard/soft edit) appears asking “Are you sure you want to exit the interview?” with Yes and No response options in the form of buttons.  Pressing “Yes” will take the enumerator through one or two additional screens before reaching CASE NOTES, and then back to ACTIVE CASELIST.




The fill for <PARTIAL ADDRESS>will include any address information detailed below that is provided in the original Census address, and should be in the following format depending on the address type:

  • For a Street Address or PR General Address (with Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable}), the address fill is Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable} in all caps (examples: "123 VACATION WAY" or "123 VACATION WAY APT 101").

  • For an address that has a physical description, the address fill is the physical description in all caps (example: “THE APARTMENT OVER THE POST OFFICE ON COUNTY ROAD 5”)

  • For a P.O. Box Number, the address fill is the term “P.O. BOX” (in all caps) followed by the P.O. Box Number (example: "P.O. BOX 123").

  • For a Rural Route address (with Rural Route Descriptor, Rural Route number, and RR Box ID number), the address fill is the Rural Route Descriptor and Rural Route number, followed by the term “BOX” (in all caps) and the RR Box ID number (example: "RR 45 BOX 76").

  • For a PR Urbanización Address (with Urbanización Name, Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable}), the address fill is the Urbanización Name, Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable} in all caps (examples: "URB SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY" or "URB SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY APT 101").

  • For a PR Area Name Address (with Area Name 1 {and Area Name 2, if applicable}, Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable}), the address fill is the Area Name 1 {and Area Name 2, if applicable}, Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable} in all caps (examples: "BO SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY" or "BO SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY APT 101").

  • For a PR Apartment Complex Address (with Name of Condominium or Residencial, Address Number, Street Name and Apt/Unit), the address fill is the Name of Condominium or Residencial, Address Number, Street Name and Apt/Unit in all caps (examples: "COND SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY APT 101" or "RES SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY APT 101").

Question Wording choice logic:

These are the variables and logic used to correctly choose what wording should be used for that screen for any given interview. The logic below correctly chooses between the question wording of an “In person housing unit respondent”, “Telephone housing unit respondent”, “In person proxy respondent”, and “Telephone proxy respondent”.

  • If ATTACTUAL=PV then the “In Person” question wording should be displayed for any screens following the ATTEMPT TYPE screen with alternate question wording indicated in the Questionnaire Content Document.

  • If ATTACTUAL=T then the “Telephone” question wording should be displayed for any screens following the ATTEMPT TYPE screen with alternate question wording indicated in the Questionnaire Content Document.

  • If RESP_TYPE=null then the “Housing Unit Respondent” question wording should be displayed.

  • If RESP_TYPE=proxy, then the “Proxy Respondent” question wording should be displayed.
