INTRODUCTION

[Review the Informed Consent Form and, if the individual agrees to participate and is competent to participate, proceed with the rest of the interview.]

[Read to participant. Specific language may be modified by local sites in response to IRB feedback.]

Now, I think we are ready to begin. I’m going to read to you a set of questions exactly as they are worded so that each person is asked the same questions. In some cases, you will be asked to respond in your own words and I will write down your answers. In other cases, you’ll be given a list of answers and asked to choose the one that is best for you. We are interested in your personal opinion and experiences, so please be as accurate as you can in your response. Please take your time to respond and please feel free to ask me for clarification if you are not sure what is wanted. Sometimes I will be switching time frames and some of the questions might be repetitive. I apologize for this in advance and hope that you will bear with me when this happens. I will try to be very clear, but please ask me if you are not sure about the time period involved. Remember that your answers are confidential. This interview will last about one hour.

[EMPHASIZE] If at any time you feel you need a break or need to stop the interview, please let me know. We recognize that some of the questions may be difficult or upsetting, so we can take breaks or stop the interview as often as you need. Please don’t hesitate to ask.

SECTION 2: HOUSING

2.1 LIVING SITUATION GRID

Note: You are encouraged to use pencil to complete this grid to avoid excessive cross-outs.

COMPLETE THE INTERVAL CALCULATION IN THIS BOX

PRIOR TO BEGINNING INTERVIEW

Instructions to Interviewer: This grid is used to build a chronological record of the Respondent’s residential history (including any period for which he/she was institutionalized and/or any temporary living situations). The questions ask about the Respondent’s residential history in the six months before they entered AOT (baseline interview) or in the past six months (follow-up interview). The respondent’s answers are recorded in the grid below.

Using the Calendar provided, begin this section by calculating the number of days in the 6-month interval about which you will be asking. Remember, the “past six months” is not necessarily equal to 180 days, so performing this calculation ahead of time is essential for accurate recording on the grid. A space has been provided below for you to enter the 6-month interval dates and the number of days included in that period.

For AOT Baseline samples, the Interval Start Date is the 6 Months Prior to Entry Date and the Interval End Date is the Entry Date, found on the cover page.

For all other samples, the Interval Start Date is the 6 Months Prior to Interview Date and the Interval End Date is the Interview Date, found on the cover page.

Interval Dates: ___ ___ / ___ ___ / ___ ___ -- ___ ___ / ___ ___ / ___ ___

6 Months Prior to [Interview / Entry] Date [Interview / Entry] Date

Number of Days in Interval: ___ ___ ___

For each residence, record the following information on the grid:

1) Exact Location for each place the Respondent stayed overnight (street address, city and state)

2) Type of Residence (post-code after the interview using the location codes list – obtain enough information

to do this)

3) Exact Dates, as accurately as possible, (to calculate total number of days)

Note: If Respondent is unable to recall exact dates, ask if s/he remembers the month or ground response to a

specific holiday and show Calendar. If Respondent is still unable to recall exact dates, try to obtain total

length of time stayed (e.g., 2 weeks, 1 month, etc.). Also, be sure to record only places where the Respondent

stayed overnight.

I am going to ask you some questions about where you have lived in the past six months [in the six months before you entered AOT]. We would like to know all of the places where you’ve stayed during this time, including hospitals, homeless shelters and jails. Let’s look at this calendar together to help you remember where you have been living. Why don’t we start with where you are living right now [were living on __ __/__ __/__ __ __ __ [insert Entry Date]] and work backward, month by month.

SECTION 5: COMMUNITY VIOLENCE AND VICTIMIZATION

Note: You are encouraged to use pencil to complete this grid to avoid excessive cross-outs.

I’m going to read you some types of problems that people sometimes have with one another, and I would like you to tell me whether or not each of these has happened in the past six months before you entered AOT].

[Interviewer: The primary measure to be calculated from this next series of questions will be the presence/absence of violence (yes/no) by the respondent in the community (not jail, hospital, etc as determined by the location column) in the past six months or the six months prior to entering AOT. Violence includes any respondent use of weapon, weapon threat in hand, sexual assault, or any other act (push, grab, shove, hit…other) that resulted in any injury (including bruise or cut) to another person. Secondary measures will include the type of violent act which is why it is important that each incident (separated by time or place) be coded in only one row (the most serious respondent act for each incident); and who else was involved (for that most serious incident) listing the person receiving the most injury first. We will not be able to count up the number of times violence occurred, and we will only have information for the most serious violence (the most injury or if no injury or same injury- then the most frequent) within a given category (row). We will also not include acts of pushing/shoving that occur as part of sports or jobs (unless they are excessive- then they should be noted) or acts towards animals or property, or acts that are clearly in self-defense (a mugging or similar extreme). These “questionable” acts should be listed at the bottom of the section with an explanation/ post-it to be evaluated later for inclusion.]

Interviewer Instructions: Record respondent’s answers in boxes below. Ask all of column A questions before moving to B-D. After all column A questions have been asked, begin from the bottom up (starting with the most serious category of violence reported by the respondent) and probe each endorsed type of violence. Only ask B-D for incidents where the respondent was the “perpetrator” (i.e., the non-shaded rows).

Begin probing by asking:

So you told me you were involved in an incident where you ________someone…can you tell me a little bit more about that?

Then proceed to ask/confirm (if they have mentioned it in the description of the violence) the column questions about location, injury, etc for that type of incident. Make sure you probe for all incidents of that type—there may be more than one. Record the information for the most serious incident in that category.

After coding that row entirely, move up to the next most serious incident listed and ask:

You also mentioned that you _________ someone…was that a different event(s)?...can you tell me a little bit more about that?

Code only the most serious violent act per violent incident (if respondent pushed someone and hit someone during a single fight, only the hit counts). If there was no separate incident (that category of violence was already coded under a more serious category of violence, change the code (from 1 to 0) for that question to reflect that the violence is coded under another category.

Continue with this method of probing and coding until all violent respondent-perpetrator events have been probed.

IMPORTANT: If respondent reports violence (weapon use, weapon threat in hand, sexual assault, or any other act resulting in injury to another person) then there is no need to probe the shaded victimization questions. IF THE RESPONDENT HAS NOT REPORTED VIOLENCE, BUT SAYS YES TO ANY VICTIMIZATION QUESTION (#1,4,9) ASK:

Earlier you told me that someone hurt or attempted to hurt you. Did you react to them in a violent or aggressive manner?

Probe and update the grid to reflect any violence in response to victimization. [Get information to help rule out clear examples of self-defense (e.g. mugging).]

PROBE QUESTIONS: So you told me you were involved in an incident where you__someone… can you tell me a little bit more about that?
