****************************************************************************** PARENT CALENDAR SEQUENCE ****************************************************************************** Note: The parent calendar was filled out only if the answer to Q. 44 was "No." Only living arrangements lasting four months or more are recorded on the parent calendar. The parent calendar consists of two panels. The first panel was completed and then searched for ages between birth and age 19 when R did not live with a biological, step, or adoptive parent. The second panel was completed if there were gaps when R was not living with a parent. The second panel identified whom R lived with during those gaps. PANEL 1: Ages R lived with Biological, Step-, or Adoptive Parents Codes for the "NEVER" column on Parent Calendar 1-Circled 2-Not circled 6-Inapplicable 9-No codes circled in entire row Codes for the "BIRTH" to "19+" columns on Parent Calendar 1-Marked 2-Not Marked 6-Inapplicable Q.45.
