Interview Troubleshooting Guide

To suppress a Hard Error involving two questions:

• Read the message box carefully.

• If the first question listed is the one to be changed, press [Enter].

• If the second question listed is the one to be changed, press the down arrow to highlight the second question, then press [Enter].

• In the rare event that neither question needs to be changed and the data entered are correct, press [Tab] until the Suppress box is highlighted and press [Enter], then provide an explanation for why the error was suppressed.

To edit a lengthy response:

• With the cursor in the answer field, press the Insert key [Insert]. Use the arrow keys to move to the precise place within the answer field to edit or add to existing text. If necessary, record additional text in a comment box, by pressing [F8].

To correct range errors:

• For numerical questions, read the box carefully, making note of the expected range, if provided in the message. Press [Enter] to clear the error, then type a new answer within range.

• For pre-coded questions, read the message box carefully, then press [Enter] to clear the error. Type a new answer that corresponds with a pre-coded answer choice on the screen.

• For multiple choice questions (Code All That Apply), read the message box carefully, then press [Enter] to clear the error. Type a new answer that corresponds with a pre-coded answer choice on the screen, pressing the [Space bar] between each response as needed.

To correct date errors:

• Review the instructions on the screen to determine the date format for the question. For “MM-DD-YYYY” format, the date must be entered with a 2-digit month and day and 4-digit year. For “MM-YYYY” format, the date must be entered with a 2-digit month and 4-digit year. Do not enter dashes or spaces—just the number including any leading zeros for month or day.

If an R needs assistance with an ACASI question, provide the corresponding steps above for the problem they are having. Take care not to view the screen while assisting the R, to ensure the confidentiality of their answers. For additional details on entering CAI responses and troubleshooting error messages, refer to Chapter 5 in your FI Computer Manual.

ADULT RESPONDENTS:

INTRO TO CAI -- INTRODUCTION AND INFORMED CONSENT FOR

INTERVIEW RESPONDENTS AGE 18+

INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND STUDY AS NECESSARY: Hello, I’m ________, and I’m working on a nationwide study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. You should have received a letter about this study. (SHOW LEAD LETTER, IF NECESSARY.)

READ THE BOXED INFORMATION BELOW

BEFORE STARTING EVERY INTERVIEW

This year, we are interviewing about 70,000 people across the nation. You have been randomly chosen to take part. You will represent over 4,500 other people who are similar to you. You may choose not to take part in this study, but no one else can take your place. We will give you $30 when you finish the interview.

GIVE STUDY DESCRIPTION TO R IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO.

This study asks about tobacco, alcohol, and drug use or non-use, knowledge and attitudes about drugs, mental health, and other health issues. It takes about an hour. You will answer most of the questions on the computer, so I will not see your answers. We are only interested in the combined responses from all 70,000 people, not just one person’s answers. This is why we do not ask for your name and we keep your answers separate from your address. RTI may contact you to ask a few questions about the quality of my work. This is why we ask for your phone number and current address at the end of the interview.

You may consider some of the questions to be sensitive in nature and some questions may also make you feel certain emotions, such as sadness. For example, the interview asks questions about criminal history, depression, suicide and other topics. If you become upset during the interview and wish to speak to a mental health professional about how you are feeling, I can provide you with a toll-free helpline number.

While the interview has some personal questions, federal law keeps your answers private. We hope that protecting your privacy will help you to give accurate answers. You can quit the interview at any time and you can refuse to answer any questions.

If it is all right with you, let’s get started.

(Can we find a private place to complete the interview?)

YOUTH RESPONDENTS:

PARENTAL PERMISSION SCRIPT, PART OF INTRODUCTION AND INFORMED CONSENT FOR INTERVIEW RESPONDENTS AGE 12-17

A translator cannot be used for any portion of the parental permission and youth informed consent process

Your (AGE) year-old child has been selected to be in this study. Your child’s participation is voluntary. This interview asks about tobacco, alcohol, and drug use or non-use, knowledge and attitudes about drugs, mental health, and other health related issues.

Your child may consider some of the questions to be sensitive in nature and some questions may also make your child feel certain emotions, such as sadness. For example, the interview asks questions about criminal history, depression, suicide and other topics. Your child can refuse to answer any questions and can stop the interview at any time. If your child becomes upset during the interview and wishes to speak to a mental health professional about how they are feeling, I can provide you with a toll-free helpline number.

All of your child’s answers will be confidential and used only for statistical purposes. Since your child will answer most of the questions on the computer, I will never see the answers, and you are not allowed to see them either. If it is all right with you, we’ll get started.

(Can we find a private place to complete the interview?)

READ THE SCRIPT BELOW AND OBTAIN PERMISSION FROM THE PARENT/GUARDIAN

Once parental permission has been given, confirm the parent/guardian or another adult will be present for the duration of the interview
