CALND1 CALENDAR
Throughout the rest of this questionnaire, I will be asking you to answer a number of questions about three specific time periods, namely the past 30 days, the past 12 months, and your lifetime. To help you remember the first two time periods, let's mark this calendar with the beginning dates for each one of them.
SHOW CALENDAR TO RESPONDENT.
Now let's think about the past 30 days. According to the calendar, DATEFILL was 30 days ago, so I will write DATEFILL here on the calendar. I'll call that your 30-day reference date.
WRITE 30-DAY REFERENCE DATE ON CALENDAR AND CIRCLE DAY; UNDERLINE ENTIRE 30-DAY PERIOD.
A number of questions will ask about the past 12 months, that is since this date last year. Let's look at the calendar and find that dateDATEFILL. I'll call that your 12-month reference date.
WRITE 12 MONTH REFERENCE DATE ON CALENDAR AND CIRCLE DAY ON CALENDAR.
Please use this calendar as we go through the interview to help you remember when different things happened. I will remind you to think about your 30-day reference date and your 12-month reference date when I ask you questions.
