Description

Preserve an explicit child-study age transcription and supplied rounding convention.

Developmental research records separate actual observations, coder presence, task versions, response states, caregiver reports and exposure counts. Calendar age differs from developmental status, while a symbol match or parent-teacher rating gap is only a recorded comparison. Pseudonyms and supplied source labels do not themselves protect identity or validate evidence.

Preserve an explicit child-study age transcription and supplied rounding convention.

When to use this tool

Use Child Study Age Rounding Disclosure when you already have recordId, suppliedAgeText, roundingConvention and need to preserve an explicit child-study age transcription and supplied rounding convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter recordId, suppliedAgeText, roundingConvention. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read token. Use the output convention below.

Enter recordId, suppliedAgeText, roundingConvention using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1

{
  "input": {
    "recordId": "R17",
    "suppliedAgeText": "24 months",

}

Limitations and assumptions

  • The result records supplied values without inferring birth dates or development. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use the complete study or assessment method, observation records and context for developmental interpretation. Review task adaptations, reporter perspectives and data protection together; local counts, time gaps and status labels do not establish ability, diagnosis or suitable support.
