The 2010 Census Quality Survey has
been established to explore the use of the Internet as an
alternative means for the public to respond to the 2020 Census. The
main objective of the 2010 CQS is to estimate measurement error
associated with responses from a census paper questionnaire
compared to those from a census Internet questionnaire. A sample of
2010 Census mail questionnaire respondents will be invited to
complete an Internet reinterview, which has the same content as the
2010 mail questionnaire. In addition, a separate sample of the 2010
mail questionnaire respondents will be invited to a mail
reinterview with the same 2010 content. A third sample of the 2010
mail questionnaire respondents will be invited to complete a
reinterview with the choice of mail or Internet mode.
