Calendar Intro (AE)

AE-1. IF FTF INTERVIEW, DISPLAY: This is a calendar-like grid to help you remember when events happened in your life, when they come up in the interview. At the end of the interview, you can keep it or, if you prefer, I can shred it.

We will be talking about dates during the interview, and getting accurate dates is very important. At times I will ask you to enter specific events on the calendar. The boxes are small but you can use abbreviations that are meaningful to you. You may also wish to draw a line between the beginning and end of an event, such as a period of school or a pregnancy.

IF CAWI RESPONDENT, DISPLAY:

This interview includes a “calendar” grid to help you remember when events happened in your life, when they come up in the interview. Getting accurate dates is very important. For some questions that ask about dates of events, once you provide a date, the information will automatically be filled in the calendar. You will not need to enter anything into the calendar. This calendar is a visual tool that displays events in your life to help you remember better if you choose to use it. The next screen shows an example calendar and describes some of the features.

AE-2. Notice that the calendar has rows for different events that may or may not have happened in your life, such as a pregnancy or marriage.

The most detailed part of the calendar covers months during the period from [cmjan3yr_fill] through the present month. The section labeled "Before [THREEYRS_FILL]" is for events that happened before [THREEYRS_FILL]. The reason the calendar only goes month-by-month back to [THREEYRS_FILL] is because it is easier to remember details for events if they are not too far in the past.

AE-3. IF FTF INTERVIEW, DISPLAY:

Now I'd like you to write your date of birth on the calendar on the line marked "Your Date of Birth". Then, find the month and year of your last birthday and write your age in the box right underneath it (read if necessary: in the row labeled "Your Age"). Now, please write your age under your birth month for the other years on the calendar. This may be helpful during the interview when some questions ask for your age when an event occurred.
