Description
Return their difference and divide by step for stepWidth.
Gynecologic research and care records can contain specimen labels, questionnaire states, source keys, and consent flags. A local metadata check preserves a supplied convention without determining a clinical finding or verifying permission.
Return their difference and divide by step for stepWidth.
When to use this tool
Use Questionnaire Response Range Width when you need one explicit research-record or permission-metadata component.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter lowerResponse, upperResponse, suppliedUnitStep. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read width, stepWidth. Use the output convention below.
Require ordered lowerResponse and upperResponse and positive suppliedUnitStep. Return their difference and divide by step for stepWidth.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| lowerResponse | Lower Response | Required. Finite number. |
| upperResponse | Upper Response | Required. Finite number. |
| suppliedUnitStep | Supplied Unit Step | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| width | Interval or dimension span under the stated unit and endpoint convention. | Required. Finite number. |
| stepWidth | Step Width | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- StepWidth can be fractional and does not count inclusive response options; questionnaire scale validity, symptom severity, and clinical meaning 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.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review verified records, privacy and consent requirements, and appropriate professional interpretation before clinical or contact decisions.
