PATH Study Verification Form
START
Program: Include the specifications below for each Wave 2 household unit, defined as:

(A) Sampled address from Wave 1 for which one or more SPs or Shadow Youth were selected to be in the study and completed a W1
interview and address is still best current address.
-OR(B) Address created since Wave 1 data collection closed and prior to fielding for W2 from instances when all (one or more) SPs and
Shadow Youth originally at a W1 sampled address are found to have moved.
-OR(C) Address created during W2 based on Verification Task (VT) data collected at the Wave 2 fielded address and in which we determine
one or more SPs has moved from the Wave 2 fielded address (either (A) or (B) above).
-OR(D) Address updated at the start of “this” Wave 2 VT based on new address/contact information received from another source, e.g. passed
to the Field Interviewer (FI) via Case Alert or obtained via Field Tracing efforts.

(C) and (D) above identified as R02_AddressType = R02_NewVerify.

For each SP in the W2 fielded household unit, calculate Wave 2 Expected Event Type:
W2_ADULT, the SP was an Adult at Wave 1 and is an Adult at Wave 2.

W2_EXPECTEDADULT, the SP was a Youth at Wave 1 and is likely to age-in to the adult cohort either before or during Wave 2. (HIS, SP
Information, Age-in field = Yes or Maybe).
PROGRAM - Exception: If R02_AddressType = R02_NewVerify, for R02_W2_EXPECTEDADULT who was confirmed as 18+ in the
original VT, set SP = W2_ADULT.
W2_YOUTH, the SP was a Youth or Shadow youth at Wave 1 and is likely a Youth/Shadow Youth at Wave 2.
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this
burden, to: NIH, Project Clearance Branch, 6705 Rockledge Drive, MSC 7974, Bethesda, MD 20892-7974, ATTN: PRA (0925-0664). Do not return
the completed form to this address.
