The process is voluntary and data collection will not be conducted without your consent. Exceptions to remote phone interviews will be applied to the following individuals, who will be prioritized for office-based interviews while taking necessary precautionary measures:
Individuals with partial disabilities such as speech/hearing impairment, which would adversely impact their interviews if conducted over the phone.
Individuals at heightened risk who express inability (due to safety and/or confidentiality concerns) to conduct the interviews from their current place of residence.
