The Help Icon will display a message “Help is not available for this question.” when there is no specific help text for a question. Screens are listed in 2016 CT US 16-84.
For screens that contain actual help text, there will be instructional text at the very top with the following wording: If the help text is collapsed, click on the > to view help text associated with each section.(18-648).
Off-Path Data
Any roster attributes (persons, demographics, flags, etc.) should be removed from the roster once they are deemed off-path. See US 17-86.
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>, <PARTIAL RESPONDENT ADDRESS>, and <PARTIAL CENSUS 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:

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=HH then the “Housing Unit Respondent” question wording should be displayed for any screens following the ADDRESS screen with alternate question wording indicated in the Questionnaire Content Document.
If RESP_TYPE=proxy, then the “Proxy Respondent” question wording should be displayed for any screens following the ADDRESS screen with alternate question wording indicated in the Questionnaire Content Document.

Fill priority: City Style address; if none then fill with Non-city style address; if none then fill with physical description.
If "Personal visit", then set ATTACTUAL=PV. If “Outbound call attempt”, then set ATTACTUAL=T and RESP_TYPE = HH.

For nonresponse, “Please provide an answer to the question.” |
Special instructions |
For each contact attempt, instrument attempts to collect a GPS coordinate when a response is selected. Each time a response option is selected, keep latest GPS coordinate collected for that attempt.
If able to collect GPS coordinate, measure and store distance between mapspot and Production GPS coordinate.
If unable to collect GPS coordinate during all attempts, set a flag indicating no GPS.
If RESPTYPE_PROD=HH, <RESPONDENT NAME> should be filled with the original respondent’s name collected on the RESP NAME screen.
If RESPTYPE_PROD=Proxy, <RESPONDENT NAME> should be filled with the original respondent’s name collected on the PROXY NAME screen.
If RESP LOCATION=Attempting address, then set RESP_TYPE=HH
If RESPTYPE_PROD=HH, then the <PARTIAL RESPONDENT ADDRESS> refers to the original census address. The system should use the GPS coordinate of this address compared to the GPS coordinate of the NRFU instrument in order to determine MAXDISTANCE.
If RESPTYPE_PROD=Proxy, then the <PARTIAL RESPONDENT ADDRESS> refers to the address collected on the PROXY ADDRESS Screen during the original interview of the Proxy. The system should use the GPS coordinate of this address compared to the GPS coordinate of the NRFU instrument in order to determine MAXDISTANCE. }

There should be a visual indicator for each number as to whether that number has already been attempted during the bundled contact.
Prevent adding duplicate phone numbers: When a user adds a new phone number with PHONEASSOC=Proxy and swipes to the next screen, if that same phone number with PHONEASSOC=Proxy already exists for that case, the system should not add the phone number to the case.

Note: When text is entered in a text box, the system shall clear the text box every time the “Yes” response option is selected (on both radio buttons and check boxes) instead of displaying the previously entered text. |

NOTE: the variable RESP_TYPE is different from RESPTYPE_PROD. The variable RESPTYPE_PROD is an input to the NRFU instrument for reinterview cases that indicates whether the original interview was conducted with a proxy or household member. In contrast, the RESP_TYPE variable is variable set within the NRFU instrument during a reinterview that indicates whether the reinterviewed respondent is the same person who filled out the Census. RESP_TYPE does not indicate anything about the original interview. |
