RAISE final version observation variables and codes. Note. S = staff; R = resident; O = other; P = proximal; NB = nearby; GFA = group formal activity. All observation variables except Variable 2 are mutually exclusive, “trump rules” guide raters in choosing a single numeric code when multiple applicable behaviors are observed within a discrete observation period. Codes are presented here in order of trump rules; e.g., Variable 7 code 1 (negative), “trumps” code 2, and code 2 trumps code 3. Variable 2 is not mutually exclusive—all applicable codes that are observed during the observation period are recorded.
