Equipment Needs The source instruments were administered via a paper-and-pencil questionnaire. However, the PhenX Working Group recognizes that these questions may be administered via a computer-assisted interview. Computer software is necessary to develop computerassisted instruments. The technician will require a laptop computer or handheld computer to administer a computer-assisted questionnaire. Protocol Type Proxy-administered questionnaire General References None Process and Review The Expert Review Panel #2 (ERP 2) reviewed the measures in the Demographics, Environmental Exposures, and Social Environments domains. Guidance from ERP 2 includes: • No significant changes to measure PhenX Toolkit Supplemental Information Characteristics of Current Residence-Technician Observations
