Is that correct? IF YES, READ: Since you no longer have asthma, your interview will be very brief (about 5 minutes). You may choose not to answer any question you don’t want to answer or stop at any time. In order to evaluate my performance, my supervisor may listen as I ask the questions. I’d like to continue now unless you have any questions. [Go to section 3] IF NO, [Go to REPEAT (2.0)]
