LOINC description : Using a list of 48 criminal and delinquent activities, the respondent indicates if
he or she has engaged in each activity, and if so, how many times in the past year.
Several of the activities are criminal in nature so it is essential that the interviewer
explains that the answers are confidential. If the respondents are thought to be at
high risk for involvement in serious delinquent or criminal activities the researchers
may want to obtain a Certificate of Confidentiality (COC). Once obtained, the researcher
should inform the respondent that he/she has a COC and explain what the certificate
means. Certificates of Confidentiality are issued by the National Institutes of Health
and other U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) agencies to help minimize
risks to respondents by adding an additional level of protection for maintaining the
confidentiality of private information. Self-reports of criminal and delinquent activities
may have limitations with regard to the ability to recall events, understand the questions,
and tell the truth (e.g., exaggeration or concealment). These limitations have been
documented by others (Chaiken & Chaiken, 1990; Elliott et al., 1989; Farrington et
al., 1996; Hindelang et al., 1981) and should be evaluated by the investigator. Self-reported
child physical abuse and sexual abuse may need to be reported to the authorities.
Researchers should check their state regulations for these requirements prior to using
the instrument in the field. The complete protocol for the Dunedin Multidisciplinary
Health and Development Study includes a separate section on partner violence, thus
questions # 22 and 23 direct the respondent to exclude partners when answering these
questions. Specific questions related to domestic violence can be found in the Family
Conflict measure in the Toolkit.;
