term after tag

Use term after to choose a point in the survey where respondents should be terminated, rather than have them terminate immediately. This allows the survey to collect additional data before terminating respondents.

GEN. Are you...
type: radio
1. Male
2. Female
3. Rather not say {term after: QZIP}

AGE. How old are you?
type: integer
range: 0-99
term after: QZIP {if $QAGE<18}

ZIP. What is your ZIP Code?
type: uszip5

In this example, respondents who select "Rather not say" at QGEN and/or who enter a number less than "18" at QAGE will terminate after answering QZIP. 

Details

• term after can be applied as a tag, a decorator, or included in a set term widget.
• term after requires a label (a question ID, group name, page label, etc.). If a group name is provided, the respondent will terminate after completing all the questions in the group. 
• term after terminates respondents after the target is answered. Be sure to set term after targets that will be seen by all respondents.
• term after can work in conjunction with immediate terminations and defer term.
• Unlike defer term, which sets a term point for all terminations in the survey, term after sets the term point for a specific termination only. 

Decorators

The following decorators can be applied with term after.
