Various Pretesting Activities (see attached list)

Protocol for 2010 GQE Individual Census Report

Interviewer: Probe as needed when respondent answers Questions 1 through 5.

Interviewer: Wait until the respondent answers both Questions 6 and 7. Then probe to understand the respondent’s living situation.

Question 7

• What does the phrase, “sometimes live or stay” mean to you?

• What does the second half of that phrase, the words “live or stay” mean to you?

• What does the term “this facility” mean to you?

• What address did you put here?

• Why did you put that address?

• Were there other addresses that you were thinking about putting here?

• If the respondent answered “no” on Question 6: Is the address you put down where you live or stay most of the time?

Question 6

• Let’s take a look at question 6.

• Looking back to question 6, what does the phrase, “most of the time” mean to you?

• If the respondent does not provide enough detail: How much is “most of the time?”

• If the respondent does not provide enough detail: Can you help me understand your time frame? Are you referring to a certain number of months out of the year, a certain number of days out of the week, or a certain number of hours out of the day?

Just a few final questions to wrap up –

• Overall, would you say the survey questions were easy or difficult to respond to? Why?

• Do you think there are questions some people would find difficult? Sensitive?

• Do you have anything else you would like to tell us that you haven’t had a chance to mention, yet?
