Special Instructions: Calculate age (AGE_CALC_A) against current date using the following values:
-Month: if BMONTH_A = DK, RF then use 1, else use BMONTH_A
-Day: if BDAY_A = DK, RF then use 1, else use BDAY_A
-Year: use BYEAR_A

Calculate younger age (AGE_CALCMINUS1_A):
The younger age is calculated only if we are unable to accurately calculate
respondent's age due to incomplete DOB Month and/or Day information OR interview
month is same as birth month and birth day is unknown.

Month AND BDAY_A = DK, RF))
Calculate age against current date using the following values:
-Month: Use 1
-Day: Use 1
-Year: use BYEAR_A + 1
(The reasoning behind this is that we need to use a future date that is definitely past
the respondent's birthdate. Rather than using the last day of the month or the first
day of the next month, it's easier just to use the first day of the next year.)

need medication to make you sleepy during the test. In this new test, your
colon is filled with air and you are moved through a donut-shaped X-ray
machine as you lie on your back and then your stomach.

know them as vape-pens, hookah-pens, e-hookahs, or e-vaporizers. Some look
like cigarettes, and others look like pens or small pipes. These are
battery-powered, usually contain liquid nicotine, and produce vapor instead of
smoke.
Have you EVER used an e-cigarette EVEN ONE TIME?
Read if necessary: E-cigarettes and similar products can be bought as one-time,
disposable products, as re-usable kits with a cartridge, or with refillable chambers.
These usually contain a liquid, often called an "e-liquid" or "e-juice." Popular brands
include NJOY, BLU, LOGIC, and VUSE.

Question Text: CT colonography, sometimes called virtual colonoscopy, is a new type of test
that looks for cancer in the colon. Unlike regular colonoscopies, you do not
need medication to make you sleepy during the test. In this new test, your
colon is filled with air and you are moved through a donut-shaped X-ray
machine as you lie on your back and then your stomach.
Have you ever had a CT colonography or virtual colonoscopy?
