Notes
ACE touchscreen question "What was the birth weight of your first child in pounds? (do not include twins)"
The following checks were performed:
- If answer < 2 then rejected
- If answer > 16 then rejected
- If answer > 12 then participant asked to confirm
If the participant activated the Help button they were shown the message:
If you are unsure of the weight in pounds, here is a conversion table for pounds, grams and kilograms.
Pounds Grams Kilograms 2 907 0.91 3 1361 1.36 4 1814 1.81 5 2268 2.27 6 2721 2.72 7 3175 3.18 8 3629 3.63 9 4082 4.08 10 4536 4.54 11 4990 4.99 12 5443 5.44 13 5897 5.90 14 6350 6.35 15 6804 6.80
An exact answer is not necessary. Please enter the birthweight to the closest pound. If your first birth was twins or other multiple birth, enter the birthweight of the first singleton birth. If you have only had twins or other multiple births then select Only twins.
