All attempts to make contact with participants and/or third
parties, whether successful (by telephone, face-to-face, or by
letter) or not successful (by telephone or face-to-face) were
recorded in the Contact Protocol. In addition, contacts between the
study participants and other members of study staff were recorded in
the Contact Protocol by the responsible interviewer.
The Contact Protocol consists of two sections: first, the head
section containing basic data on the participant and the results of
all contacts, and second, the report section in which each contact is
described in greater detail.
The first contact recorded in the Contact Protocol was the
introductory letter. If the target person did not take part in the
study due to e.g. refusal or
illness, the date of contact was nevertheless recorded in the Contact
Protocol and the reasons and circumstances of non-participation were
entered in the report section. These notes thus document the
participant's reasons for not wishing/being able to take part in the
study (any longer) and the context within which this decision was
made.
If a participant refused to take part, in addition to making
detailed notes on the reasons for this refusal, the interviewer noted
whether or not the target person should be sent a Refusers
Questionnaire. If considerable difficulties were to be expected
should the target person be approached again, or if further contact
was not possible for ethical reasons, the interviewer also made a
note of this in the Contact Protocol so that no Refusers
Questionnaire was sent.
The Contact Protocol for the interim follow-up (Time 2) contains
more information than at other measurement occasions. As this first
follow-up was based on a single questionnaire (Intake Assessment)
only, contacts with participants and, in particular, reasons for
dropout were documented in as much detail as possible here.

Notes on the items:
Item 16:
This item gives information on how many questions were asked. The
following coding is used:
1 = < 20 questions (= incomplete Short Initial Assessment)
2 = 20 questions (= Short Initial Assessment)
3 = > 20 questions (= incomplete Intake Assessment)
4 = 121 questions (= complete Intake Assessment)
5 = other.
Item 17:
Coding:
1 = > 15 minutes
2 = < 15 minutes
3 = other.
Item 18:
In cases where the participants' ability to give their consent was in
doubt, or when a session had to be split, an attempt was always made
to carry out the MMSE. Item 18 shows whether this was possible or
not.
Item 19:
Coding of the reasons that the interview could not be carried
out:
10 = interview not practicable/participant could not be spoken
to/questioned
20 = participant refused to take part in the interview (refusal)
30 = third parties intervened and prevented the interview
40 = participant requires time to consider whether or not to take
part (participation open)
50 = participant postponed interview
60 = other
Item 20:
Coding of the reasons for interrupting/breaking off contact:
10 = participant only took part in the Short Initial Assessment
(complete Short Initial Assessment)
20 = participant interrupted the interview - continuation planned
30 = third party interrupted the interview for the participant -
continuation planned
40 = interviewer interrupted the interview- continuation planned
50 = participant interrupted the interview - no further participation
desired
60 = third party interrupted the interview for the participant - no
further participation desired
70 = interviewer broke off the interview (temporarily)
80 = other
