Personnel and Training Required

The interviewer must be trained to conduct personal interviews with individuals from the general population. The interviewer must be trained and found to be competent (i.e., tested by an expert) at the completion of personal interviews. The interviewer should be trained to prompt participants further if a "don’t know" response is provided.

Equipment Needs

If a computer-assisted instrument is used, computer software may be necessary to develop the instrument. The interviewer will require a laptop computer/handheld computer to administer a computer-assisted questionnaire.

Requirements

Process and Review

The Expert Review Panel #5 (ERP 5) reviewed the measures in the Reproductive Health domain.

Guidance from ERP 5 includes:

· Changed the name of the measure

· Replaced protocol

· New Data Dictionary

Back-compatible: The original protocol from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) 2003 Cycle 6, Womens Health Initiative 1998, and LIFE Study was updated to NSFG 2013-2015. The new protocol is a single source and includes more current contraceptive methods. There are changes to the Data Dictionary, previous version of the Data Dictionary and Variable mapping in Toolkit archive (http://www.phenxtoolkit.org/domains/view/100000#tab5content)
