HAVE A CALENDAR IN FRONT OF YOU.
I will ask you questions about [you/your child’s] visits to healthcare, activities of people living in
[you/your child’s] household, occupation, travel, other potentially relevant activities, and other aspects of
[your/your child’s] health. It may be difficult to remember, but I would like your best guess for each
question. I will be asking you about specific dates around the time [you/your child] tested positive for the
CRE germ. For your reference, the germ was identified from [you/your child] on [incident specimen
collection date] _________________ at [facility] __________________. During this interview, I will call the
test for the CRE germ a “positive test for CRE.” The questions I ask you will pertain to a time period up to
three years before the positive test for CRE. If you have a calendar, planner, or health records (including
things like medical bills or health insurance statements from that time), it may be helpful to get those
items to help recall events. Do you need a minute to go get any of these items?
If interviewees gravitate toward answering that they don’t know/are unsure how to answer questions, encourage
them to try to remember one way or another. [See Interviewer Manual]
