I.
Purpose
This document contains the specifications for the Computer Assisted Personal Interview
(CAPI) Quality Assurance (QC) Reinterview Blaise Instrument for the 2015 Consumer
Expenditure Quarterly (CEQ).
II.
Quality Control Reinterview
CAPI original interviews and Type B and C noninterviews are eligible for a QC
reinterview. The goal of the QC reinterview is to detect falsification by the interviewer.
The reinterview instrument includes paths for telephone reinterviews and personal visit
reinterviews.
III.
Instrument Specifications
These specifications have been separated into three major parts. The front
specifications, Section XIII, include the screens that direct the reinterviewer to make
contact, introduce himself/herself, and ask for the respondent. The middle specifications,
Section XIV, include the roster verification screens and the survey specific questions
used to determine whether falsification occurred. The back specifications, Section XV,
include the thank you screens and the screens that set up callbacks, assign reinterview
dispositions, and wrap up the case.
Attachment A, “Reinterview Instrument Screen Index”, provides the page number(s) of each
screen listed in these specifications.
For each screen in these specifications, the following information is provided:
Variable Name
The screen name that appears on the status bar.
Field Description
The name used in the Form Pane. The respondent’s answer
appears next to this variable.
Field Definition
The variable definition.

regular font in blue on the screen.
The respondent’s answers are collected next to the field
descriptions here.

the instrument. The definition of the key word will appear when
the reinterviewer presses F1.
Record-Typed Reinterview Input File
Attachment H contains instructions on how to download the Reinterview Sample Control
Input File (SCIF) for the CEQ 2015 Reinterview Survey. This Reinterview SCIF lists all
of the variables by record type that are on the reinterview input file. The original
instrument needs to set or initialize these variables, except for the few that are set by the
Demographic Statistical Methods Division (DSMD) generic reinterview system.
DSMD’s reinterview system creates the reinterview input files.
Refer to the CEQ Reinterview SCIF in Attachment H for information regarding the
description, length, and values of each of the variables required for reinterview. Record
Type 8500 in the CEQ Reinterview SCIF shows household level variables in positions 1251 and person level variables in position 1-96. CEQ Survey specific household and
person level variables follow these positions, respectively.
The following is a list of reinterview input file variables utilized in the CEQ 2015
reinterview instrument. These variables are used to set new variables, "fill" entries on the
screen, or to control pathing. The original instrument must set and output these variables,
except for SURVEY_SET, which is set by DSMD. Some of these variables are used in
the generic portions of the reinterview instrument. If the CEQ Survey uses a different
name for any of these generic variables, the CEQ name is noted in the ‘Description’
column. Convert the variable’s CEQ name to its generic name in the manipula script
when extracting the original output for reinterview.

Case Management sets ACTION based on OUTCOME. See Attachment
C, “CEQ Reinterview Disposition, Outcome and Action Codes”, for values.
This variable must be included in the reinterview output.
WORKING DRAFT
11
B.
C.
2.
The CEQ reinterview instrument obtains the name of the interviewer,
variable FR_NAME, from Case Management.
3.
The CEQ reinterview instrument obtains the reinterviewer’s FR code,
FRCODE, from Case Management. If the RO reassigns a case, it changes
FRCODE in ROSCO. Case Management then passes the updated variable
to the CEQ reinterview instrument.
Variables from Case Management and the CEQ Reinterview Instrument
1.
The reinterviewer can update the sample unit phone number (AREA,
PRIX, SUFFIX, and EXTN) and appointment time (CALLBACK) in both
Case Management and the CEQ reinterview instrument. Case Management
and the CEQ reinterview instrument pass these variables, with any updates,
back and forth to each other.
2.
Case Management and the CEQ reinterview instrument also pass the case
ID (CASEID) and control number (CTRLNUM) back and forth to each
other. These variables serve as identifiers for the case.
Variables from the CEQ Reinterview Instrument
1.
2.
The reinterviewer can also update the contact person phone number
(CPPHON and CPEXT) in the CEQ reinterview instrument. The CEQ
reinterview instrument passes these variables, with any updates, to Case
Management. The CEQ reinterview instrument must reset these variables
back to CP1PHON and CP1EXT when it passes them to Case
Management.
The reinterview instrument sets OUTCOME and RI_DISP, as stated in
Section V, above, and passes them to Case Management.
VII. Formats for Date and Time Variables
A.
Use the long format (day of week, month, day, four-digit year) to display all date
variables in the reinterview instrument. Use the format MMDDYY when
outputting all date variables, INTDATE (original interview date) and RIDATE
(reinterview date), to the reinterview output file.
B.
Use the format hh:mm am/pm to display all time variables in the reinterview
instrument.

Format ADDRESS1 uses the address variables on Record Type 2006 of the SCIF,
Demographic Address, and is defined as follows:

[Fill: BLDGNAME / blank]
[Fill: GQUNITINFO / blank]

PERSTAT = 7 or 99. This denotes a person deleted in the current
interview period (7) or a person the interviewer realizes he/she
mistakenly listed when entering the household roster (99).
Or
MEMSTAT = 1 and PERSTAT ≠ 9. This denotes a person deleted in a
previous interview period and not reinstated in the current interview
period.
•
List household members first (HH_MEM = 1), followed by non-household
members (HH_MEM = 2). Gray the listing of all non-household members.
•
Do not leave blank lines between persons included in the household roster.
Rather, condense the listing to compensate for any deleted person.
Screens that display the household roster are: HHCOMP, RIRESP, ROSTER_1,
ROSTER_2, ROSTER_3, and ROSTER_4.
B.

•
Gray any household member whose PERCUNUM ≠ ITERATION.
Access to Original CAPI Notes and Reinterview Notes
Within the CEQ reinterview instrument, provide access between the instrument and the

The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses the data from this survey to measure the changes in
prices in consumer goods and services. Information collected in this survey contributes
to the Consumer Price Index, which assesses the change in purchasing power of
consumer dollars. The Census Bureau’s method of measuring data quality for this
survey is to re-contact a percentage of respondents to check that the data was collected
correctly during the original interview. We believe this method helps the Census Bureau
prevent the wasting of your tax dollars.

Who uses this information? What good is it?
Data from the consumer expenditure survey are used in a number of different ways by a
variety of users. An important use of the survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics is for
the periodic revisions of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Survey results are used to
select new market basket of goods and services for the CPI, to determine the relative
importance of CPI components, and to derive new cost weights for the market basket.
Government and private agencies use the data to study the welfare of particular
segments of the population. Economic policymakers use the data to study the impact of
policy changes in the welfare of different socioeconomic groups. Researchers use the
data in a variety of studies, including those that focus on the spending behavior of
different family types and historical spending trends.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts the Consumer Expenditure Survey under the
