Questionnaire Content Document for the Enumerator Instrument


2018 Census Test Field Verification Instrument Specification


App Icons for Field Data Collection (US 18-667):

  • For Production:  FDC

  • For Training:  Training FDC

Universal Functionality:

  • Census Day will be displayed as April 1, 2018 for the purpose of the 2018 Census Test.


Question wording key

Black text = Read by interviewer

Bold black = Roster names and you/your references

Blue text = Optional text for interviewer to read

Red text = Interviewer instruction


Help text

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.
