Annotation

Call-takers' insertion of the “what's your concern” question within interrogative series of “wellness check” calls to a US University Police Department, in relation to the cause for calling (e.g., turn distance from the calling reason), affects the sort of deduced information on callers' worries about a beloved one in presumed distress.
