| 8 | DRAFT Collection Definition | CRF and system design | Provides the draft definition for the data collection variable to support understanding and intended usage. Values in this column are further described in Section 1.5, Known Issues. |
| 9 | Question Text | CRF and system design | Provides full sentence/question forms to prompt for data. Values in this column are: - Without text in brackets or parentheses, to be used as-is
- With text in brackets, indicating an option on the verb tense of the question or text that can be replaced with protocol-specified verbiage or controlled terminology
- With text in parentheses, indicating options for text (e.g., singular/plural) or optional text that may be omitted
- With text separated with a forward slash, indicating options for wording from which an implementer may choose.

- With text in brackets, to be replaced with protocol-specified verbiage or controlled terminology
- With text in parentheses, indicating optional text
- With text with NULL indicating the prompt is not required on a CRF screen/page if not needed
When the value in the Observation Class column is Findings, controlled terms must be used to create prompt text for the data collection field on the CRF. The CDASH Model can be referenced to create conformant alternative prompt text. |
| 11 | Data Type | Tabulation dataset generation | Specifies the data type of the variable. Values for in this column are: - Num for numeric data
- Char for character or alphanumeric date
|
12 | Collection Core | CRF and system design | Specifies expectations for inclusion of the collection field on the CRF. Values are used with values in the Data Collection Scenario column to determine when a field will be present on the CRF. Values in this column are: - HR, for fields that are Highly Recommended and should always be included on the CRF
- R/C, for fields that are Recommended/Conditional and should be included on the CRF per certain conditions
- O, for fields that are Optional and should be included on the CRF when needed to support data collection
When the value in this column is R/C, conditions are described in the Implementation Notes column. |
