The floppy disk number (on which the original Survey Mate data were entered) was combined with this Case Number and recorded in the data file as v2 (Log Number); the first two digits refer to the floppy disk number, and the last two digits refer to the Case Number. Every single comment on every single response was entered; we were incredibly thorough. When a comment pertained to a quantitative lC, the numeric code was recorded at answer, such as V97, Question the beginning of the comment as well as in the data file. A closedended question answered "Other" leading to the comment "Don't Know" was coded "8" ("Don't Know") for the "Other" category. Unless otherwise noted (see screener following codes were used throughout: 7, 8, 9, 0, 97, 98, 99, 00, 997, 998, 999, 000, 9997 9998 9999 0000 = = = = and questionnaire), Refused to answer Don't know Missing information Response not applicable because the of skip pattern RELATIVES: The following responses were coded using a Relationship List developed by Eve Fielder, Tonya Hays, and Sandy Frith at ISSR (see p. 3""): V15, V21, V27, V33, V39, V45, V51, V57, V63, V66, V69, V72, V75, V78, V81, V84, and V217. If a resident was described as "roommate," "boyfriend/girlfriend," "fiancee," etc. on the Adult Roster, and V455 was answered "Living together as married," this person was coded "23" on the Adult Roster.\ For Vl, ID#, the last four digits of the respondent's phone number were used. If the first of these digits was 0, Survey Mate changed it to a blank space as the data were entered. For V3 and V87, Interviewer ID#, if the numbers on the screener and questionnaire differed, the ID# on the questionnaire was entered both times.

Between 600 and 700 adult residents of Alameda, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Mateo and San Francisco Counties will be selected by random digit dialing (rdd) and interviewed by telephone for this study. Overall, 675 persons will be interviewed: 225 in the high impact areas,xd 450 throughout the rest ofthe Bay Area. High impact areas are identified as areas that had isoseismal scores of 8 or above. Two such areas exist: the area in San Francisco and Alameda counties adjacent to the Bay Bridge and including the Marina area; and areas of Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties which include the town of Santa Cruz. The exact census tracts included are: 43 in San Francisco County (101-135, 177, 179, 201, 208, 226, 227, 228 and 607); 13 in Alameda County (4010-44016, 4022, 40344, 4053, 4054, 4060 and 4063); 3 in Santa Clara County (5070, 5071, 5118); and 15 in Santa Cruz County (1002, 1008, 1010, 1103, 1104, 1203, 1204, 1206, 1209, 1210, 1211, 1212, 1218, 1219, and 1224). The 225 interviews in the high impact areas will be evenly dividedbetween the San Francisco and Alameda County tracts on one hand, and the Santa Cruz and Santa Clara County tracts on the other. The remaining 450 interviews will be proportionally distributed throughou'i--fhe remaining areas of San Francisco County, Alameda County, Santa Clara County, Santa Cruz County and San Mateo County. STUDY OBJECTIVES This study has multiple objectives. First, we want to find out about San Francisco Bay Area residents' experiences after the earthquake on October 17, 1989: where they were, how they reacted, where they obtained information, whether their property was damaged or they experienced injury, what agencies they were in contact with, etc. Second, this study allows us to compare Bay Area residents' earthquake-related knowledge, experience, and behaviors in 1989 with those of Los Angeles County residents following the Whittier Narrows earthquake of October 1, 1987. Of interest is the extent to which Bay Area and Southern California residents differ in their level of preparedness, exposure to earthquake predictions, and knowledge of agencies involved in post-earthquake 1 84 March 1990 assistance. Third, the sample design allows us to compare the experiences, behaviors, and aftereffects of persons in the high-impact area with those of other persons in the Bay Area in a modified case-control design. And finally, unlike past earthquake and most disaster surveys, this questionnaire includes both the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), a well-tested measure of psychological functioning designed for use in community studies and two measures of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that are currently under development by Terence Keane, Fran Norris and their colleagues. All but one item of the measure developed by Keane is included. The item deleted did not work well in a telephone interview during pretesting. Due to time limitations, only segments of the Norris' measure are included in this administration. RESPONDENT QUESTIONS PURPOSE If the respondent questions the purpose of the study, explain that this interview asks about experiences and feelings about earthquakes and that the findings will be used to evaluate the adequacy of current efforts to improve earthquake preparedness and postearthquake assistance procedures. Why This Household? If you are asked why you are interviewing this particular household, explain that this happens to be one of the representative households picked by random selection from the Bay Area and that it is very important that we obtain information about the kinds of people that s/he, this household, represents. Respondent Questions Time Required for Interview If the respondent asks how much time will be required for the interview, tell him that the usual length is between 20 and 30 minutes. Do not say that the interview will take only a few minutes. Refusals Our experience has been that few respondents actually refuse to cooperate. However, if you have difficulty in obtaining an interview, explain the purpose and importance of the survey and STRESS THE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT ACCORDEDALL INFORMATION FURNISHED BY THE RESPONDENT. This should be done also 2 85 .* March c at any point during the interview if respondent should hesitate to answer questions. Your Manner 1990 the certain Your greatest asset in conducting an interview efficiently is to combine a friendly attitude with a businesslike manner. If a respondent's conversation wanders away from the interview, try to cut it off tactfully--preferably by asking the next Overquestion on the questionnaire. friendliness and concern on your part about the respondent's personal troubles may actually lead to your obtaining less information. It is especially that you maintain important in this survey an objective manner. SpanishSpeaking Respondent NON-BILINGUAL INTERVIEWERS, PLEASE READ: If the respondent is Spanish-speaking, record the telephone number and return it the ISSR office for immediate reassignment a Spanish-speaking interviewer. Other If the respondent speaks NEITHER English nor Spanish, find out whether there is an English-speaking resident in the household who could translate for you. Languages to to NOTE: POLICY FOR "DON'T KNOWS" Whenever the interviewer receives a "don't know" response that is not pre-coded on the questionnaire (alternative answers to questions are not followed by "DON'T KNOW" with separate code number), the interviewer must write clearly the abbreviation "DK" in the left margin next to the response categories. Use of Cards Cards are not used in this survey because Therefore, alteris a telephone survey. natives must be carefully read to respondents.

EDITING Editing of interviews is done in four stages. The first edit is done by you as an Each questionnaire should be interviewer. edited carefully as soon as possible after while it is still fresh in its completion, your mind. A thorough edit on your part is so that editing at other stages essential, The interviewer edit can proceed quickly. checking that involves the following tasks: handwriting is legible; no questions have have been been missed; all SKIP directions followed; all information in boxes is coded; code number, not letters, are circled unless If you have circled the otherwise specified. code for "other," check that you SPECIFY exactly what "other" is; all open-ended questions must show an appropriate final 5 88 March 1990 probe (e.g., W.E.) with R's ending statement verbatim; a check to see that you have interviewed the proper respondent and that his/her number is circled on the LABEL and on the adult roster; and finally, that your name and ID number are on the contract page. Remember, editing is more than "tidying up" the questionnaire. It is your way of giving us a clear picture of the interview situation and the respondent, our way of knowing what went on. Stage Two is the field edit in which your supervisor checks three items: (1) that the proper respondent was interviewed; (2) all SKIP directions have been followed; and (3) the CALL Record Sheet is completed properly. Errors in respondent selection and/or following the SKIP pattern require sending you back to the proper respondent and/or to gather missing information. After the field edit, the Quality Control division does a thorough edit of every item in the questionnaire. Every interview you complete is edited, so the quality of your interviewer edit becomes particularly important at this stage. Missing, inconsistent or unclear information must be rectified by telephoning the respondent again. Quality Control also prepares rating sheets on the quality of your edit, an important factor in evaluating your performance as an interviewer. The final edit is done by our Coding Department. They check the three previous edits, check for inconsistencies, and prepare the questionnaire for data processing. If any errors are discovered, the interview is returned to Quality Control for clarification. Any information that cannot be clarified has to be deleted from the questionnaire and is permanently lost to us. Verification The SRC Quality Control division has a standard verification questionnaire. We make a random selection from your completed interviews and telephone the respondent to verify that you did conduct an interview with 6 89 Verification, him/her. another way of evaluating an interviewer.

SCREENER The primary purpose of the screener is to find an adult respondent who resided in the area of the study (Bay Area) on October 17, 1989, the date of the Loma Prieta Earthquake. The respondent must have lived in Alameda, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, or San Mateo counties on October 17, 1989. If no adult respondent lived in one of those five counties on October 17th, the interview The secondary purpose of the is terminated. screener is to obtain a roster of persons who live in the respondent's household. Ql This series of questions is to ascertain that the proper number was dialed, whether or not it is a residential number and the location The information in Parts C of the household. and D is particularly important since the sample is stratified by location, and people's experiences in an earthquake vary with their location relative to the epicenter of the earthquake. QlE ascertains that being interviewed. an adult (>17 years) is Q2 Question 2 generates a standard adult roster Section F is of the household residents. Only adults living particularly important. in five Bay Area Counties (Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz) on the day of the Loma Prieta Earthquake are eligible respondents for this study. Q3 Question 3 generates a roster of all children (<18 years) who live in the household. This is important because some research suggests that the presence of children or families in a household either exacerbates or mitigates reaction to disasters. 8 91 March 1990 INTERVIEW Many of the items in this questionnaire are identical to or minor modifications of questions used in the survey of Los Angeles County residents following the Whittier These Narrows earthquake of October 1, 1987. interviews were conducted between October 1, Many of those items 1988, and May, 1989. adapted from the Los Angeles were, in turn, Metropolitan Area Survey (LAMAS) conducted after the 1971 Sylmar Earthquake, interviews conducted by Bourque in 1971 at California State University, Los Angeles, in Sylmar and under the Van Norman Dam, or by Turner as part of his study of earthquake prediction in the late 1970s.

For those who felt the skip to Q2 on page 2. For those feel the earthquake, ask QlA-C, Q8 on page 6. Q2-Q4 These questions ask about the experiences of respondents who felt the earthquake. These questions repeatmany of the questions asked in Los Angeles after the Whittier Narrows earthquake. They are modifications of the more extensive questions designed for use by Turner had there been a substantial earthquake during the period of his study. Q2 Asks where R was when the earthquake struck. Part B is asked only of those who were not at home. Given the time of this earthquake, many people will report that they were either at work or on their way home. Q3-Q4 These questions might be considered subparts of a single open-ended question with probes. Some respondents will give you all of the information in response to Q3. Others will give distinct responses to each question. Q4 Question 4 assesses whether other people present. Much of the disaster literature focuses on the behavior of people as it relates to the presence of other people, separation from families and particularly children, and the needs of other people. Q5 During pretesting of the questionnaire, many respondents told us that one or more of their utilities went off or were turned off for some period of time after the earthquake. This question has been inserted at this point so that this information is consistently solicited from all respondents and to keep respondents from volunteering it as extraneous information in later sections of the questionnaire. Q6 A major objective of this study is to find out how people get information about earthquakes and their use of public media such as the radio, television, and newspapers. 10 93 were March 1990 This question is an important part of this objective and focuses on respondents' use of television and radio for information on the day of the earthquake. Information obtained from pretests and other sources suggests that some radio and television stations were unable to broadcast immediately after the earthquake, possibly for as long as 24 hours. In addition, many respondents experienced power interruptions and damage that made access to television and radio difficult or impossible. This section of questions has been substantially modified in this questionnaire. This occurred because of a need to reduce the overall time of the interview and in recognition of differences between the Whittier Narrows earthquake and the Loma Prieta earthquake. Q7-Q12 These questions ask about damage and injuries that R might have experienced that caused them to need services. Q7 97 begins the series of questions and asks about damage to structures in the immediate area where R was when the earthquake struck. A frequently used definition of neighborhood is used to define "immediate area" as "within five blocks in any direction." We are not interested in knowing about the Bay Bridge collapse or the Marina fire unless R was in one of those two areas at the time of the earthquake. Q8 Q8 asks about damage that occurred to R's home or other personal property. This sequence of questions has been revised since Whittier because of problems we had in Whittier and problems that developed in pretesting for Loma Prieta. For respondents who experienced no damaqe to the home or personal property, skip to 99. For respondents who experienced damage, ask them to describe the damage in A and indicate the source of the damage in B. Q8C-K These questions ask R to estimate the amount of damage in dollars and whether or not s/he applied for financial aid. In C, be sure to probe for the nearest estimate for both home 11 94 March CJ If R was not & personal property damage. responsible for financial payment of damages to property (for example, if R is a renter), record amount of best estimate & make a note in the margin.

Q9 Gi 1990 Q9 asks about evacuation and the reasons for This question has been restructured it. quite a bit since the earlier study of the These modifications Whittier earthquake. were made because respondents appear to have left their homes for anything from a few minutes to days for one of three reasons. First, some respondents do not understand the word "evacuate." The question was originally designed and we are primarily interested in finding out about persons who evacuated because their homes were uninhabitable. Second, a substantial number of respondents after the Loma Prieta earthquake appear to have left their homes for some period of time because of fear or a need to be with other people. This is a secondary interest of this study since we are interested in finding out about psychological distress after natural disasters. Finally, a third group of respondents apparently went outside for brief periods of time to ascertain the state of their neighborhoods and to make sure that there were other people were around. We are least interested in this group of "evacuees" but we have tried to restructure the answer categories to allow for their actions to be briefly recorded in Q9A. We have no idea how many respondents will fall in each of these three categories. If a respondent says "no" to 99, skip to QlO. QlO asks about persons who might have stayed with the respondent as a result of the earthquake, the identity of those persons, and the length of their stay. 12 95 March 1990 911 Few if any respondents will report major injuries since there were only some 3,000 officially recorded injuries in all of the R may, however tell you about Bay Area. minor injuries to him/herself or others.

It is not part of either the Norris or Keane batteries.

This set of questions represents material that is new to It was not included in this questionnaire. either the study of Los Angeles County residents conducted after the Whittier Narrows earthquake or in earlier studies conducted by Turner, Bourque, Reeder or their colleagues. Since these questions have never been used before and are adapted from theoretical suggestions made by Norris, they were both modified and reduced after pretesting. Eliminated because of time constraints were the following questions that specifically asked about perceptions of life threat, responsibility and control, intrusive and the number of other persons in memories, the neighborhood who experienced damage or 1) As evacuated following the earthquake: far as you know were you (and your family) the only one(s) in your neighborhood who had property damage, or were there a few people many people or families, or or families, 13 96 c March 1990 qreat numbers of people or families in your neighborhood who had property damage? 2) As far as you know, were you (and your family) the only one(s) in your neighborhood who evacuated, or were there a few people or families, many people or faXiies, or great numbers of people or families in your neighborhood who had to evacuate? 3) Thinking about why the earthquake occurred, would you say the main reason it occurred was because of: Something you did or did not do, Something others did or did not do, A mechanical or industrial reason, or natural forces?, GOD/GOD'S WILL? 4) Now, thinking about the experiences you personally had after the earthquake, would you say the main reason you came through the way you did was because of: Something you did or did not do, Something others did or did not do, A mechanical or industrial reason, or Natural forces?

Q28 asks R if s/he has experienced other events within the last year that might result in symptoms of post-traumatic stress R is asked about six events: disorder. robbery, physical or sexual assault, accidental, homicidal automobile accidents, or suicidal deaths, and other significant life events. If multiple events are reported, ask R about the most upsettinq event. For that event, ask B-C. If R reports no events, skip to Q29.

This area has been examined more widely than most others. In Q21, R is first asked to volunteer agencies or groups that s/he remembers having had a role in post-disaster work. If R gives a ask R to describe it or tell specific title, Once R has you what kind of agency it is. volunteered all the groups s/he remembers, circle the appropriate type of agency mentioned under "Vol" in column A of the response chart.

The list was designed to allow comparison with earlier disaster studies and particularly the Whittier Narrows study This set of conducted in Los Angeles County. questions has, however, been simplified and reduced as a result of our experiences in the Whittier Narrows Study. Many disaster researchers have hypothesized that after disasters people frequently engage in abnormally altruistic behaviors that from a breakdown in result, at least in part, the highly institutionalized (gesellschaft) structure of modern societies. ( See Quarantelli for a discussion of community disasters and the "altruistic" and "therapeutic" community.) Yet systematic evidence of such post-disaster behavior remains sparse. No questions included in this study ask about such informal, voluntary groups that might have developed after the earthquake.

Q26 Although interest in and concern about psychological reactions to disasters frequently has been expressed, little Most of the systematic research exists. existent studies have measured psychological distress using measures unique to the particular study which prohibits comparison across disasters or between post-disaster populations and non-disaster populations. Others have relied on clinical observations rather than systematic testing with standard (Reviews of the psychological batteries. existent literature as well as suggestions for future research are found in E.L.

The five indices measured somatization, obsessive-compulsive behavior, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, and anxiety. A number of articles have been published from James N.

This research group found that victims of the flood 5 years earlier consistently had more mental health symptoms than the non-flood "although none of the contrasts were group, significant, and only two showed a trend" (p. 74, 1981) and were significantly more likely to have more physical health problems. Obsessive-compulsive was closest to significant. In a case-control study of women, those who stated they had developed hypertension after the flood were significantly more likely to show symptoms of somatization and anxiety than were nonhypertensive women flood victims matched for age. In contrast, older women victims were less likely than non-victim controls to exhibit symptoms of somatization, anxiety, depression, or interpersonal sensitivity and equally likely to exhibit obsessivecompulsive symptoms. Green also incorporated the complete XL-90 into a study of survivors of the Beverly Hills (Ohio) Supper Club Fire of May 1977. Included were all 9 dimensions: somatic complaints, obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism. Subjects, grouped by endangered (nightclub patrons and employees), families of victims or survivors, and rescue workers were interviewed 1 (N = 146) and 2 (N = 88) years after the fire. Persons refusing to be interviewed at 2 years were more psychologically impaired at 1 year as reflected in the global SCL-90 score. Those not at the fire (rescue workers and family) were significantly higher at 1 year than survivors on both the global SCL-90 scale and the hostility subscale. Subjects (both survivors and those not at the fire) were more impaired than comparison groups tested by the same researchers but less impaired than victims of the Buffalo Creek flood and somewhat more impaired than Three Mile Island workers and mothers as measured using the SCL-90. 20 103 March 1990 included Murphy and Shore, Tatum and Vollmer parts of the SCL-90 in their studies of survivors of the Mount St. Helens eruption 11 months and 3.5 years after the disaster. Murphy reports elevated scores on the somatization and depression subscales for those who lost family members or suffered major damage to their residence as compared to controls 11 months after the eruption. In find no contrast, Shore, Tatum and Vollmer differences on four SCL-90 subscales (depression, hostility, anxiety and between victims and controls somatization), 3.5 years post-disaster, but do find a high dose-response association between extent of victimization and evidence of post-disaster single-episode depression, generalized anxiety disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when measured using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DSM) III. levels and health (See S. Murphy, "Stress status of victims of a natural disaster," Res Nurs Health 1984;7:205-215; and James H. Shore, Ellie L. Tatum, and William M. "Psychiatric Reactions to Disaster: Vollmer, The Mount St. Helens Experience," American Journal of Psychiatry 1986;143: 590-595). To maximize comparison with other postdisaster studies as well as comparison with non-disaster populations, 926 contains 53 items from the SCL-90 which have been developed into a Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). All 9 dimensions of the SCL-90 are The dimensions and their represented. Psychoticism (C, N, V, associated items are: Somatization (B, G, W, HH, PP, RR, Xx, APA), CC, DD, GG, KK), Depression (I, P, Q, R, T, II, XX), Hostility (F, M, NN, 00, TT), Phobic Anxiety (H, BB, EE, PP, QQ, VU), ObsessiveCompulsive (E, 0, 2, AA, FF, JJ), Anxiety (A, L, S, LL, SS, WW), Paranoid Ideation (D, J, U, X, W, W), and Inter-personal Sensitivity Also included are four global IT, U, V, PP). items (K, Y, MM, 22) which measure "important vegetative and other clinical indicators" (Derogatis and Melisaratos, 1983, p. 597). Three global indices of distress are scored The in addition to the 9 diagnostic scales. General Severity Index (GSI) is the "single 21 104 March 1990 best indicator of current distress levels and should be utilized in most instances where a single summary measure is required. . . . The Positive Symptom Distress Index (PSDI) is a pure intensity measure, in a sense 'corrected' for the numbers of symptoms. It functions very much as a measure of response communicating whether the patient is style, 'augmenting' or 'attenuating' distress in his/her manner of reporting. The Positive Symptom Total (PST) is simply a count of the symptoms which the patient reports experiencing to any degree" (Derogatis and Melisaratos, 1983, p. 597). The BSI is a copyrighted psychometric measure developed over a number of years, so please ask the questions as written and record the Relevant answer as given by the respondent. Leonard R.

Originally developed on Vietnam Veterans and called the Mississippi Scale for Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, the measure has been revised for use in As currently written, civilian populations. no time window is established for the respondent because the research and clinical communities are not agreed as to what window should be used for each source of trauma and for the variety of symptoms for which information is solicited (John Fairbank, RTI, personal communication, January 11, 1990). Factor analysis of data collected in a series of studies of Vietnam veterans (N = 483) using the 35-item Mis,sissippi Scale for 22 105 March 1990 Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder identified six potential subscales reexperiencing the trauma, affective/ interpersonal problems, depressive memory/concentration problems, cognitions, aggression, and sleep problems. The Mississippi Scale was developed for use as a self-administered measure and has not been modified, as of this date, for interview administration. When pretested for the San Francisco Bay Area survey, one item elicited laughter from respondents in a telephone interview. That item has been eliminated from the current instrument. The eliminated "If something happens that item read: reminds me of the past, I get so anxious or panicky that my heart pounds hard; I have trouble getting my breath, I sweat, tremble or shake; or feel dizzy, tingly, or faint." The combat version of the Mississippi Scale was translated into Spanish for use in a national study of Vietnam veterans conducted by the Research Triangle Institute (RTI). This translation is used in this study. Questions added to the civilian version were translated into Spanish by staff of the Institute for Social Science Research at (SEE: Terence M. Keane, Juesta M.

Q28 Since we completed data collection for the Whittier Narrows study, it has become obvious that we need to expand post-earthquake collection of data about psychological functioning. To this end three new sets of items are included in this questionnaire that were not included in the Whittier Narrows Two of these sets of items questionnaire. assess Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Unfortunately, measures of PTSD directly. that can be used in survey interviews are Three such only beginning to be developed. measures are included in this questionnaire. The first one is a subscale that bourque developed out of the BSI items (see question 26). Unfortunately, important components of The second PTSD are not assessed by the BSI. set of items are the ones found in 927, the civilian version of the Mississippi Scale for Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. The third set of items are the ones suggested by Norris (see questions 14, 15 and 28). Q28 asks R if s/he has experienced other events within the last year that might result in symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. R is asked about six events: robbery, physical or sexual assault, automobile accidents, accidental, homicidal or suicidal deaths, and other significant life events. If multiple events are reported, ask R about the most upsettinq event. If R For that event, ask B-C. ( See reports no events, skip to Q29. specifications for questions 14 and 15.) R may question the purpose of Q28. Tell R that the reason for questions about experiences other than earthquakes is to compare people's 24 107 March reactions to other to earthquakes events. to their 1990 reactions Because of restrictions on the time available for these interviews, only a reduced set of the Norris' questions have been included in Ideally, the following set of this battery. 11 questions should be asked about each trauma that R reports experiencing in the last year: 1) How many persons, including yourself, (were victims of this incident/did this happen to)? 2) What was the dollar amount of any property that was lost or damaged because of this incident? 3) As a result of this incident, did you suffer: Serious physical injuries, Minor physical injuries, or No physical injuries? 4) During this incident and immediately afterward, how frequently did you feel that your life was in danger? Would you say you During the felt your life was in danger: incident itself, but not afterwards, Continuously for a few days, Still feel your life is in danger, or Never felt your life was in danger? [A new alternative was added to this question in 914 of this questionnaire.] 5) Thinking about why this incident occurred and your experiences after it occurred, would you say the main reason it occurred was because of something you did or did not do, something someone else did or did not do, a mechanical or industrial problem, or natural forces or bad luck? Something you did/did not do, Something someone else did/did not do, Mechanical/industrial problem, or Natural forces or bad luck? 6) When exactly did this incident occur? 7) Did you ever have a similar experience before? 8) Since this happened, how often has something happened that reminded you of it? Would you say: Never, Rarely, Sometimes, or Often? 9) How often have you thought about it when you didn't mean to? Would you say: Never, Rarely, Sometimes, or Often? 10) How often have you had nightmares about this event? Would you say: Never, Rarely, Sometimes, or Often? 11) How often have you avoided situations that remind you of this event? Would you say: Never, Rarely, Sometimes, or Often? 25 108 IJ March 1990 Q29-Q44 The remainder of the questionnaire contains questions on demographic characteristics and asks about R's willingness to be reinterviewed in a year. 929 Emphasize the word you when reading this We are only interested in whether question. B owns or is buying his/her residence. Q30 In assessing any damage that may be reported by R earlier in the interview, it is important to know the kind of residence R lives in. Q31 Information is requested about zip code in order to check characteristics of the sample and to find out where R lives relative to the high-impact zones. Q32-33 Length of residence in California, in the present neighborhood, and at the present house may all be relevant in assessing reactions to the October 17, 1989 earthquake. Be sure to emphasize California &I present neighborhood when asking these questions. Q34 Asks for Q35 Q35 is the standard set of occupation Read all alternatives. questions used.

Ask everyone A and B. Q38 Q38 asks about family income for related individuals living in the same household as R. First record the number of related persons in the household who received income of some kind in 1989. If the roster is different, clarify the reason and continue. Note that we ask about income received, before taxes, in four parts rather than the more typical two parts.
