For a period of time response to be entered as a duration, it must meet the following criteria. The time period must be for a specific event, for a continuous period of time, and the period must be sufficiently described, so that the start and end of the event are discrete time points. Responses that do not meet these criteria for a duration answer are entered as Numeric numeric answers. The Duration section of the date and time answers guidance provides a detailed discussion of the use of duration versus numeric answers. See also examples of time period responses that are entered as a duration answer and examples of time period responses that are entered as a numeric answer for more information.
