• Verification data.
8.2.1 Data Quality Report
The Data Quality Report displayed various data quality issues and allowed the FS to
provide specific feedback to FIs who were experiencing problems. The report included missing
data items on Quality Control Forms and procedural errors such as Case ID or Verification ID
problems. The report also included a list of cases that could not be used due to the FI
interviewing the wrong household member.
8.2.2 Missing Screening Data Report
The Missing Screening Data Report displayed by FI the screening data that were missing
for specific Case IDs. FSs used this report to monitor the quality of the screening data that each
FI collected. The data on this report represented information that the respondent refused to
provide or indicated areas where the FI either made errors or may have been taking short-cuts.
FSs monitored specific problems and trends and were able to provide immediate feedback and
re-train FIs as necessary.
8.2.3 Overdue Cases Report
FSs used the Overdue Case Report to account for completed interviews that should have
already arrived at RTI. Interviews were considered overdue if not transmitted within three days
of the date of interview (as reported by the Newton Record of Calls data).
Cases displayed on this report were investigated to ensure the completed interview was
transmitted or that the correct Case ID was used and reported as a completed interview. FSs and
programming staff worked to resolve any pending issues with overdue cases.
8.2.4 Length of Interview Report
The Length of Interview Report listed the completed interviews that were either finished
in a relatively short or extremely long amount of time. The times were derived from the
computer-assisted interviewing (CAI) interview file (total time and timing of specific sections)
so that FSs could monitor possible problem situations (such as short-cutting or problems with the
laptop that might cause the time-frame to be strange).
8.2.5 Case Data Information
The Case Data Information portion of the CMS provided all FI production data and
allowed the FS to interact with the data and view it in special ways. The type of cases the FS
viewed was determined by the drop-down items selected. Each of the following items was
available to select (single or multiple items), after which a data table containing all of these items
(for the subset of cases) displayed:
• Case ID
• Type of case (Screening, Interview A, or Interview B)
