A Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal
assessment of the CATI and personal visit questionnaires versions
of the facility questionnaire was conducted using a redesigned
questionnaire from the 1990 Census. Data from the 1990 Census
indicated that group quarters coding errors occurred during the
facility prelist operation. These errors were discovered after
finding many discrepancies for group quarter type between the
prelist and enumeration phases (Census Bureau 1990). These errors
were corrected after the enumeration process. This evaluation will
consist of a sample of reinterviews to the Census 2000 Special
Place Facility Quest..
