Special Instructions |
These names should appear on the Dashboard in the order in which they were added to the roster (starting with the Respondent). The order of names displayed on the Dashboard should not change if the Reference Person is not the respondent. The only purpose of identifying a Reference Person is for use on the RELATIONSHIP and SEXRELEDIT screens. Once the names are collected and the household section of the survey is complete, each person’s name will be displayed on the Dashboard. Each name will a have a corresponding “Start” button that will allow the respondent to begin the Demographics section for that person. There will also be a “Remove” option for names on the roster. However, there will not be an option to remove the Respondent or the Reference Person. If a respondent chooses to remove a person, a pop-up will display, (“Are you sure you want to remove <NAME#> from your household? Yes No”)
There will also be an option to add additional people below the list of names. If the “Add another person” button is selected, the respondent is taken to a screen where they can provide a name. If the respondent selects “previous” without providing any information, an additional person will NOT be added.
Once data is collected for each name, a “Final Question(s)” button will appear. This takes the respondent to the “Overcount” screens.
Once data is collected for the “Overcount” screens, the respondent is returned to the Dashboard where, a “Submit” button will appear. The respondent can now submit their survey.

Special Instructions |
Setting Self Reported Vacant Flag: If a respondent reaches the other complete screen from the Vacancy screen - the respondent has essentially self reported that the unit is vacant. If this is the case, the other complete screen is the final screen in this response flow. Create a linking variable for this response (SOLICIT_LINKED_ID). When the respondent clicks next (either moving to the non-id register screen or to log in screen), this response should be separated from the rest of the users’ session and treated like a mini-response. Down stream processing may need to take this self reported vacant record and send it out for field verification. The self reported vacancy linking variable should also be appended to the response flow that begins after the other complete screen, so that the two pieces of the session can be linked in post processing. The user ID used in this Self Reported Vacant record should not be closed out, in the event the vacant status was incorrect and the current resident tries to self respond. |

Once a date of birth has been entered, the CQA instrument internally determines if age (as of Census Day) can be calculated from the date of birth (calculated age = <REFDATE> – (date of birth)). If possible to calculate, age is calculated and then saved in P_AGE_CALC_INT.

CQADOB |
Special Instructions |
After the date of birth fields (Month, Day, and Year) have been entered on the DOB screen, the instrument internally determines whether age can be calculated. Age can be calculated if: 1. there is a Month and Year of birth, and the Year is between {<Census Year> – 126} and <Census Year>, and the Month is not reference day month (<REFMONTH >); or 2. there is a Month and Year of birth, and the Year is between {<Census Year> – 126} and <Census Year>, and the Month is reference day month (<REFMONTH >), and there is a valid entry for Day. Note: P_AGE_CALC_INT = the calculated age (based on DOB). For birth months other than <Census Month>, day is not needed for age calculation.
Then, if age can be calculated, calculate the age and pre-fill it in the AGECONFIRM question wording (on the AGECONFIRM screen). Then, if the respondent answers “no” to the AGECONFIRM question, allow them to change the number by providing an answer on the CHANGE_AGE screen.
In the Day of Birth drop down for February, the range for February days depends upon whether or not the year is a leap year. [For leap years (when year is divisible by 4, except 1900), February days are 1-29; for non-leap years (when year is not divisible by 4, or year = 1900), February days are 1-28.] If a respondent selects "February" for the month, “29” for the day, and a non-leap year, display an error message alerting the enumerator that this date is invalid (Feb 29 in a non-leap year); the enumerator then should be given the opportunity to correct it (by choosing another month, day, or year).
P_AGE_CALC_INT should update (and display the new value in the age box on the AGECONFIRM screen) whenever a change is made to the DOB response. If a date of birth outside the valid range April 2, 1892-April 1, 2018 is entered, the age box should show a blank (unless the enumerator enters something directly into the field).

Once a date of birth has been entered (into the Month, Day, and Year fields on the CHANGE DATE OF BIRTH screen), the CQA instrument internally determines if age (as of Census Day) can be calculated from this changed date of birth (P_AGE2_CALC_INT = <REFDATE> – (changed date of birth)). If possible to calculate, age is calculated and then saved in P_AGE2_CALC_INT.

The following are valid ranges: Month: 1-12 Day: * 01-30 if month = April, June, September, or November * 01-31 if month = January, March, May, July, August, October, December * 01-28 if month = February and year = NOT a leap year (is 1900, or not divisible by 4) * 01-29 if month = February and year = a leap year (is divisible by 4, and not 1900) Year: 1892-2018 If only Day is not available from DOB, display <Month Year>. If roster name is the respondent, then the screen should appear as: “What is your date of birth?” Otherwise, the screen should appear as: “What is <ROSTER NAME’s> date of birth? After a changed date of birth fields (Month, Day, and Year) have been entered on the CGANGE DATE OF BIRTH screen, the instrument determines internally whether age can be calculated. Age can be calculated if: 1. there is a Month and Year of birth, and the Year is between {<Census Year> – 126} and <Census Year>, and the Month is not reference day month (<REFMONTH >); or 2. there is a Month and Year of birth, and the Year is between {<Census Year> – 126} and <Census Year>, and the Month is reference day month (<REFMONTH >), and there is a valid entry for Day. Note: P_AGE2_CALC_INT = the calculated age (based on CHANGE_DATE_OF_BIRTH). For birth months other than <Census Month>, day is not needed for age calculation. Then, if age can be calculated, calculate the age and pre-fill it in the AGECONFIRM2 question wording (on the AGECONFIRM2 screen). Then, if the respondent answers “no” to the AGECONFIRM2 question, allow them to change the number by providing an answer on the CHANGE_AGE2 screen. In the Day of Birth drop down for February, the range for February days depends upon whether or not the year is a leap year. For leap years (when year is divisible by 4, except 1900), February days are 1-29; for non-leap years (when year is not divisible by 4, or 1900), February days are 1-28. If a respondent selects "February" for the month, “29” for the day, and a non-leap year, then display an error message. For example, if I chose Feb 29 for the month and day on the instrument, and if I then chose a non-leap year for the year, the 29 remains, but an error message appears alerting the enumerator and respondent that this date is invalid (Feb 29 in a non-leap year) to allow the opportunity to correct it (for example, choosing another month or year).
P_AGE2_CALC_INT should update (and display the new value in the age box on the AGECONFIRM2 screen) whenever a change is made to the CHANGE DATE OF BIRTH response. If a date of birth outside the valid range April 2, 1892-April 1, 2018 is entered, the age box should show a blank (unless the enumerator enters something directly into the field). |
