Description
Record the response-format convention of an aging-survey item.
Aging research distinguishes participant and informant identities, calendar-month coordinates, time-use exposure and event/censoring status. Proxy responses and missing codes carry different meanings from direct observations. Local record summaries do not establish lifespan, legal status, accessibility or appropriate care.
Record the response-format convention of an aging-survey item.
When to use this tool
Use Aging Survey Response Format Tag when checking the stated aging-study record, timing, censoring or support convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter itemCode, responseFormat, formatSource. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read tag. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty item code, response-format wording and format source. Encode the ordered triple as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| itemCode | Item Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| responseFormat | Response Format | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| formatSource | Format Source | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

| tag | Tag | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"itemCode": "Q17",
"responseFormat": "large-print",
"formatSource": "Participant choice"
},
"output": {
"tag": "[\"Q17\",\"large-print\",\"Participant choice\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No response instrument is validated and accessibility, actual response encoding and survey quality are not assessed.
- 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 verified original records and suitable complete research methods; involve qualified health, accessibility or legal professionals for actual care or rights decisions.
