For some epidemiologists there is a difference between a question where a
"Choose1" type variable has null as a value (the question was not
answered), and the option, "Don't know." The problem in ODK collect (and on
web sites too) is that as soon as you tap on a choose1 response, you cannot
say, "Opps, that's not true, I need to unclick it." You can change your
choice, but if none of the other choices is suitable, you are left with
inaccurate data recording. Other than adding the option "Don't know" to
every choose1 type question, is there a way to deselect a radio button?

I think if you hold down your finger on the form, for a few seconds, a
popup menu appears which should let you clear the current page of the
survey, resetting to the "no answer chosen" state. Does that help?
Cheers, Chris.
