In Person: Non-Normative Extension Interview

JNNEXT  Non-normative Extension Interview

OVERVIEW

This module is an extension of the non-normative screener module of the 2011
collection wave. The purpose is to collect more information about the
participant's selected non-normative child. If a child with a developmental
disorder was identified in the 2004 collection wave, that child was also
discussed in this wave. If a non-normative child was not discussed in 2004,
they were identified in the non-normative screener and discussed further here. 
If a participant reported more than one child with a developmental disability
in the screener module, the one they had the most contact with was chosen to be
discussed here. The "selected non-normative child" refers to either the child
talked about in 2004, the child identified in the non-normative screener in the
2011 collection wave or the non-normative child that the participant had the
most contact with. Information was collected in the following ways:

	Once the correct child was verified, the participant was read a list of
possible developmental disorders and reported which the selected non-normative
child had. After version 17 of this survey, the participant was then asked if
they had contact with the selected non-normative child in the past year, such
as seeing them in person or talking to them on the phone.  If they had not had
contact in the past year they were not asked any more questions regarding the
selected non-normative child.
	
	Participants who had contact with the selected non-normative child in the past
year were then asked questions regarding details about their child such as
their overall physical health, employment, programs they participate in,
volunteering, activities of daily living, living situation, social activities,
behavior and care the child recieves.
	
The variables in this module have been, for the most part, replicated from
2004. However, the variables regarding the diagnoses (HH125REA-HH126REB) are
new to the 2011 wave, as well as the variable regarding whether the participant
had contact with their child in the past year (HH200).
