This information
collection is approved for three years subject to the following
term of clearance: 1. Remuneration shall not be used in the
administration of any phase of the survey in a classroom setting.
In non-classroom settings, such as community programs, remuneration
shall not be used in the administration of the first two phases
(baseline and exit) of the survey. In the administration of the 6
month and 18 month follow-up surveys, the agency shall encourage
programs to provide alternative "in-kind" incentives, such as
coupons, food or refreshments, or club activities, in order to
encourage response from youth who are no longer participating in an
organ- ized program. The agency may use remuneration to achieve
res- ponse from hard to reach youth who are no longer participating
in an organized program ONLY after other incentives have been ex-
hausted.
