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.)

Question Text: These next questions are about colorectal cancer screening. There are several
different kinds of tests to check for colon cancer. Colonoscopy
(colon-OS-copy) and sigmoidoscopy (sigmoid-OS-copy) are exams in which a
doctor inserts a tube into the rectum to look for polyps or cancer. Have you
ever had either of these exams?

Question Text: For a colonoscopy, the doctor checks the entire colon, and you are given
medication through a needle in your arm to make you sleepy, and told to have
someone take you home. For a sigmoidoscopy, the doctor checks only part of
the colon and you are fully awake. Have you ever had a colonoscopy, a
sigmoidoscopy, or both?

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.
Before today, HAD YOU EVER HEARD of CT colonography or virtual
colonoscopy?

Question Text: The next question is about electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes. You may also
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.
