Notes
ACE touchscreen question "In a typical DAY, how many hours do you spend using the computer? (Do not include using a computer at work; put 0 if you do not spend any time doing it)"
The following checks were performed:
- If answer < 0 then rejected
- If answer > 24 then rejected
- If answer > 6 then participant asked to confirm
If the participant activated the Help button they were shown the message:
If the time you spend on the computer varies a lot, give the average time for a 24 hour day in the last 4 weeks. Remember not to include time spent on a computer at work.
|
This question was first asked in 2006 so needs to be interpreted in the light of technological development at that time when computers would generally mean either desktop or laptop PC systems. In 2019 the wording will be changed to
"In a typical DAY, how many hours do you spend using a computer/laptop, tablet or smartphone?"
Coding 100329 defines 3 special values:
- -10 represents "Less than an hour a day"
- -1 represents "Do not know"
- -3 represents "Prefer not to answer"
