AS CONDITIONS ARE ENTERED, THEY SHOULD BE FLAGGED
WITH THE NUMBER OF THE ROUND IN WHICH THEY WERE
FIRST CREATED. THIS ROUND FLAG WILL BE USED LATER
IN THE INTERVIEW TO DETERMINE WHICH QUESTIONS
SHOULD BE ASKED.

DISPLAY ‘ADD CONDITION’ AS AN OPTION ON THIS
SCREEN.

ANY CONDITION ADDED TO THE ROSTER SHOULD BE
FLAGGED AS ‘CREATED’ THIS ROUND (WITH THE ROUND
STATUS). ANY CONDITION SELECTED AT THE ROSTER
SHOULD BE FLAGGED AS ‘SELECTED’ THIS ROUND (WITH
THE ROUND STATUS). THIS FLAGGING SHOULD OCCUR,
AT ALL OF THE PERSON’S-MEDICAL-CONDITIONS-ROSTERS
THROUGHOUT THE INSTRUMENT, THE FIRST TIME THE
CONDITION IS ADDED OR SELECTED DURING THE ROUND.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT IS ROUND 1, ALL CONDITIONS ON
THE ROSTER WOULD HAVE THE FLAG ‘CREATED - ROUND
1’. IF A CONDITION IS CREATED IN CE, BUT SELECTED
IN MV, ALL DURING ROUND 1, IT WOULD ONLY HAVE THE
FLAG ‘CREATED - ROUND 1’. THUS, FOR ANY ONE
ROUND, A CONDITION CAN ONLY BE FLAGGED AS
‘CREATED’ OR ‘SELECTED’. IF IT IS ROUND 2 AND A
CONDITION THAT WAS CREATED IN ROUND 1 IS SELECTED,
IT SHOULD BE FLAGGED AS ‘SELECTED - ROUND 2’.
THIS FLAG IS IN ADDITION TO THE ORIGINAL ‘CREATED
- ROUND 1’ FLAG.

CAPI (THE DD SECTION, CE05, OR THE EVENT
SECTIONS). ALSO, PERSONS WHO HAVE A PREGNANCY
REPORTED IN CAPI MAY NOT BE SELECTED AT CE05B
