Collection and usage attributes

Guide for use:Help on this term

The question in 'Collection Methods' could be used for different contexts, ie before, during and immediately after assistance as the question can be adapted for past and present tenses. The context as to when the question is asked dictates the time period to which it relates, that being during or after assistance. By using the word 'did' instead of 'do' the question can be used for the period before assistance.

Collection methods:Help on this term

The permissible values for this data element are used to form the response categories to the question:
