QUESTIONNAIRE FORMAT EXPLANATION

The purpose of this page is to illustrate the layout of questions in this instrument and help the reader to interpret the formatting and instructions, so they can follow the flow of the questions. This format was designed for ease of use by those who will be programming the computer-aided telephone interviewing (CATI) survey instrument. If this questionnaire was administered in a paper and pencil version, the formatting would be changed; however, the skip logic would remain the same.
