Hi all,
I just finished going over all the global item inconsistencies with Julie. Most issues were straightforward, but here is one that has a wording issue and a content issue that I wanted to run by you. This is a BAL item, which looks this way across four forms:
Child Home: Dislikes riding in elevators or on escalators.
Teen Parent: Dislikes riding in elevators or on escalators because of the movement.
Teen Self: I dislike riding elevators or escalators because the movement makes me uncomfortable.
IT Caregiver: I avoid riding on elevators or escalators.
So two issues:
· Avoid vs. Dislike: We think this kind of variation is fine, but let me know if you want to change anything.
· Movement: This is a bigger issue because there are other reasons to avoid or dislike escalators and elevators (such as fear of heights or enclosed spaces), so I think we ought to put the specifier into the Child Home and IT Caregiver items. For example:
o IT Caregiver: I avoid riding on elevators or escalators because the movement makes me uncomfortable.
o Child Home: Dislikes riding in elevators or on escalators because of the movement.
Can we resolve this over email?
Let me know what you think…

John, I think your suggestion would strengthen what we have. I think it may be best if we use consistent wording across forms, i.e., "dislike." So here's what I propose:
