1.0 SCOPE AND APPLICATION

Many different kinds of samples will be collected during the RTI/EOHSI NHEXAS
Phase I Pilot Study. It will be very time consuming to collect these samples in the participant
home, so the information recording method must be as efficient as possible. Also, participants
will be allowed a great deal of flexibility in choosing some or all of the sample collection
activities that they will complete. Only limited amount of field staff time will be available for
sample assignment, accounting and record keeping activities. These factors combine to create a
need for sophisticated software that will: (1) allow a user to easily define the type and number
of samples to be collected for each participant, and (2) allow simple one-time entry of collection
and custody data during sample collection, processing, and shipping activities. An easy to use
spreadsheet-based two-part sample collection and custody software package is being
developed by RTI for use in NHEXAS.

The software will be used to define the kinds and numbers of samples to be collected for
each NHEXAS participant. It will be used on laptop computers to record data collection
information as samples are collected at the participant home. Sample custody records will be
initiated with the software. The data files prepared for sample collection information will also
initiate the data shell for each participant. A shipping component will organize samples for
shipping, log shipments, and create hardcopy custody records for each sample. The data shell
will be used for sample tracking and accounting. Analysis data files will be used with the
sample collection and custody files as the overall NHEXAS database is constructed.

The collection and custody software has been designed expressly for the RTI/EOHSI
consortium NHEXAS pilot study. However, the software has been formatted to allow
modification so that additional types of field samples and quality control samples can be
added, or existing sample types can be removed, while preserving the overall format. The
software is also adaptable to other multimedia sample collection studies.

2.0	SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

2.1	Software Objectives

Several objectives were formulated to aid the design and preparation of the sample
collection and custody software. These objectives are listed below to provide the user with a
brief background.

2.1.1	The software must be easy to learn and use on a laptop computer.

2.1.2	A primary objective of the software is to eliminate the field and lab staff time that
would be needed to prepare, organize, track, use, and enter data if paper records
were used.

2.1.3	The software will facilitate assessment of completeness of data entry by field staff
and supervisors.

2.1.4	Data files prepared for each participant will form the basis for the overall data
shell and sample tracking. This would be very difficult to perform in a timely
manner with anything other than an electronic data collection format.

2.2	Software Platform

The sample collection and custody data file has been developed in Quattro Pro 6.0
software. This spreadsheet software is easy to use, provides a good Windows graphical
interface, is inexpensive, and has a multi-page notebook format that is ideal for use with the
complex multi-media sample design. Ease of use was the primary factor in selecting
spreadsheet software instead of database software. The data in the spreadsheet can easily be
transferred to any of several database software systems.

2.3	Hardware Platform

The sample collection and custody software will run effectively on any computer with at
least 25 MHz clock speed, 8 MB RAM, a trackball or mouse pointing device, DOS 6.0 or higher,
and Windows 3.1 or higher. The field staff will use MEC Winbook 425SX laptop
microcomputers or equivalent. Bar code scanners with wand-mounted electronics and
keyboard port entry will be used to enter sample and equipment codes directly into the sample
collection software. An external Bernoulli disk drive with removable 90 MB cartridges will be
used for high-speed copying of data files for backup and transfer purposes.

2.4 Software Description

A printout of the sample collection software computer screens, divided into pages in the
software, is presented in Appendix A. This printout includes all of the samples and QC
samples currently scheduled. Additional record lines are available for each sample type, but
have been hidden and do not appear on the printout. Software function is described below.

2.4.1	Cover Page (COY)

The cover page is used to set up the file for each participant. The software will
use the data entered here to hide all sample records on the later pages except
those scheduled for collection with the particular participant. Other associated
information about the participant is included to help guide sample collection
activities. Software save and print functions are controlled from the cover page.

2.4.2	Summary Page (SUM)

This page will indicate the current data entry status for each sample. It will be
used by the field staff and supervisors as a summary list of the samples
scheduled for the participant and as a QC check to be sure that all of the required
data has been collected.

2.4.3	QC Sample Page (QC)

Quality control samples will be scheduled on this page. If a particular QC
sample is selected, its sample record will be revealed on the appropriate sample
page.

2.4.4	Sample Pages (AIRY. AIRP. WAT. DUST. BIO. DIET. SOIL. PER. LON1)

The remaining pages will be used to enter sample collection data when the field
staff is in the participant home and when the sample is processed or shipped
form the field. Each page is used for a particular group of related sample types.
It will be very easy to move between pages because of page tabs in the Quattro
Pro software. Some of the data in the fields will be default, requiring no entry
unless there is a change. Much of the data in the first few fields, including
participant and county IDs will be automatically written to the field from the
cover page. The data fields on the sample collection pages were derived from the
data requirements found in each of the individual sample collection protocols.


-------
RTI/ACS-AP-209-086
Revision 1
Page 6 of 23

Additional fields may be opened to perform operations on the data (i.e., sample
volume calculation), either as it is collected or at a later time when the data are
transferred to a database.

3.0 SOFTWARE USE

3.1	File Setup

3.1.1	It is a goal to have the Field Supervisor at RTI, or his designee, set up the
software file for each participant. In some cases, the necessary information will
not be received at RTI in time, so the set up will be performed by the field staff.

3.1.2	Participant information contained on the Participant Enrollment Form (Figure 1)
is used during file set up. The staff member will enter the IDs or appropriate
characters in each box on the cover page (COV, Appendix A).

3.1.3	The staff member will examine the summary page (SUM, Appendix A) and
verify that the correct samples have been selected for the participant's level of
participation by comparison with information on the Interviewer Form.

3.1.4	The staff member will select the scheduled quality control samples on the quality
control page (QC, Appendix A).

3.1.5	The staff member will save the file using the save controls on the cover page. If
the file is prepared at RTI, it will be saved on the originating computer hard
drive and on the Bernoulli drive to be sent to the field. If the file is prepared at
the field site, it will be saved to the computer hard drive.

3.1.6	If the file is prepared at RTI and sent to the field on disk, the field staff will copy
the file to the field computer hard drive and verify that it has been copied.

3.2	Field Data Entry

3.2.1 In most cases, the field staff will take the field laptop computer on each visit to
the home. (If the computer does not function, or if a computer is not available
for some other reason, then the staff may use paper copies of the data collection
pages and enter the data after home visits have been completed.)


-------
RTI/ACS-AP-209-086
Revision 1
Page 7 of 23

3.2.2	At least one extra, fully charged battery should be carried by the field team. The
field team should also have available an AC/DC adapter for use with house
current.

3.2.3	Computers should not be allowed to reach temperatures below 50 °F during
transport. Do not leave the computer in an unheated vehicle during cold
weather.

3.2.4	Turn the computer on at the earliest opportunity once in the home.

3.2.5	As each sample is deployed or collected, move to the page which contains the
collection information for that sample. Enter the appropriate sample collection
or custody information. Information may be keyed from the keyboard or input
through the bar code reader when bar coded labels are used.

Shipping Data Entry

3.3.1	The field staff will enter the shipper ID and shipping date into the sample
shipping component of the field software before the samples are shipped.

3.3.2	Custody records will be printed from the software for each sample.

3.3.3	Custody records will be shipped to the laboratories along with each sample.

Quality Control

3.4.1	Some of the data entry fields will have range checks. If an input value is out of
range, a message will be displayed. Check the value again. If the value is in
error, correct it. If the value is correct, override the display message.

3.4.2	A comment code field is available for each sample. It's default value will be 0
(zero). If there is any comment that needs to be made about a sample, change the
default value to 1 and write comment text in the comments field. If any sample
is not collected, or lost to the point it cannot be shipped, change the value to 2
and write comment text in the comment field. Comments should be included to
note any sample collection difficulties or other observations that could
conceivably affect interpretation of the sample analysis results. If in doubt, go
ahead and add a comment.

3.4.3	Before the computer is turned off at each home, the staff must examine the
summary page (SUM) to verify that all of the required data has been collected.
Any missing information should be included before leaving the home. (If a


-------
RTI/ACS-AP-209-086
Revision 1
Page 8 of 23

paper form is used for data collection, a staff member is required to look at all
data fields to verify that all scheduled information is accounted for.)

3.4.4 Upon receipt of the data files from a county (see 3.5.2) the Field Supervisor or his
designee will examine the data for completeness and out-of-range values. The
field staff will be contacted to try to resolve any problems.

File Backup and Transmission

3.5.1	Before turning off the computer during a home visit it is imperative that a
backup file be created. The file must first be saved to the computer's hard drive
as soon as the data collection is complete. (The file may also be saved to the hard
drive at any time, and more than one time, during the data collection session at a
home.) Then a second copy must be made to a 3.5" diskette. Only then may the
computer be turned off. One 3.5" diskette will be used for each participant. Each
diskette will be stored in a separate location than the computer at the end of the
day.

3.5.2	After all sample collection and shipping activities have been completed within a
county, all of the participant data files will be saved to two Bernoulli 90 MB
disks. One disk will be retained at the field laboratory, and the second will be
sent to the Field Supervisor at RTI.
