Choices

The intent of the next set of questions is to determine the extent to which the people receiving
services are involved in decision-making.
Instructions

• Code as ‘2’ – If this person played a major role in making the decision. The person may
have consulted with others but ultimately made the decision for him/herself.

• Code as ‘3’ – If the person had some input in making the decision but did not play a
major role.

• Code as ‘1’ – If the person did not have any input in making the decision.

Choices made with spouses/partners should be coded as ‘2—person made the choice’.
Do not overuse the ‘Not applicable’ code here: It is not appropriate to use ‘98’ to indicate NOT
ALLOWED or NOT CAPABLE of making decisions in this area. For those cases, code as ‘1’.

Read one of the following introductions to the respondent(s):

For Individuals: “I'm going to ask some questions now about some decisions you may have
made or helped make. For each question, I'd like you to tell me if you made the choice yourself,
if you had some say about it, or if someone else decided for you.”
For Proxy Respondents: “I'm going to ask some questions now about decisions this person may
have made. For each question, please indicate if the person made the decision on their own, if
they had some input in making the decision, or if someone else made the decision for them.”
