Instructions:
Priority Condition Enumeration (PE) Section
(Rout
Each leaf in this stem and leaf series, should display on the same form pane. Use the same
question stem display.
Display “{Now I’m going to ask you about certain medical conditions {you/{PERSON}} may
have had. For these questions, please think about {your/his/her} health over {your/his/her}
lifetime.}” only when presenting the first condition question for this person.
Display the question stem “{Have/Has} {you/{PERSON}} ever been told by a doctor or
other health professional that {you/he/she} had…” in bold black for every 4th item applicable
to this person. Otherwise always display question stem in brackets and “grayed-out” text.
Display each leaf in bold black when its entry field is active. Otherwise always display in
“grayed-out” text. Use a null display for any leaves that are not applicable to this person. For
example, in Round 1, a current RU member who is age 6 would only see leaves for PE30K,
PE30L, and PE30M. Those three leaves would shift from bold black to grayed-out depending
on the cursor placement in the response pane. For example, a current RU member in Round 1
who is 30 would see the leaves for PE30A-PE30L. PE30M would be a null display as it
would never be applicable to someone who is not 5-17 years of age. PE30A-PE30L would
shift from bold black to grayed-out depending on the cursor placement in the response pane.
The same is true in Round 3 when certain leaves are not asked because they were answered in
the positive in either Round 1 or Round 2.
General Flag Rule for conditions - There are four flags for every condition:
- Question created
- Round created
- Question selected
- Round selected
Note that conditions can be created and selected in the same round (e.g., created in PE and
selected in MV).
Note that conditions created in PE cannot be edited or deleted at person's-medical-conditions
roster. These are protected, uneditable fields for display on the person's-medical-conditions
roster.

If ‘91’ (OTHER) selected alone or in combination with any other response, continue with
PE140OS.
Otherwise, go to LOOP_20.
For each type of cancer selected at PE140, Add the priority condition ‘Cancer-{Specify
Type…}' to person’s-medical-conditions-roster, where ‘Specify Type’ is the English name of
the cancer type selected. Since the length of the CONDNAM is limited to 30 characters,
abbreviate ‘SOFT TISSUE’ option to {‘CANCER-SOFT TISSUE MUSCLE/FAT’}. Use
"DON'T KNOW" and "REFUSED" when coded "DK" or "RF" at PE140. For each type of
cancer selected, create a condition and condition-by-round record.
Display response options ‘6’ (CERVICAL), ‘17’ (OVARIAN) and ‘29’ (UTERINE), if the
person is female. Otherwise, use a null display.
Display response options ‘19’ (PROSTATE) or ‘26’ (TESTICULAR), if the person is male.
Otherwise, use a null display.

Notes:
Display 3 columns for the answer list pane. For males, the columns with each display 9 response
options. For females, the first two columns will each display 10 response options and the third column
will display 8 options. The space between the columns should be minimized to prevent horizontal
scrolling. The current UI spec says to display the categories in 13px, but the point size can be reduced
(no lower than 9 px) to enable the choices to fit within the answer list pane in 3 columns without
horizontal scrolling.
