Are you a young adult, age 24 – 28?
You may be eligible to earn $50 by participating in a cognitive interview (a discussion between you and an interviewer about how you understand certain questions concerning your current work or education experience.)
About the interviews:
Research Support Services (RSS) and RTI International (RTI) are conducting this study for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education. The cognitive interviews will be conducted in July and August 2010 and will be held at a central location convenient to public transportation in Evanston, Illinois. The interview will last approximately 60 minutes, during which time a researcher will ask you to respond to questions, including your interpretation of the meaning of the questions asked of you. Questions will be about your work experience or education experience.
Eligibility to Participate:
Young adults age 24-28 are being sought. Please call RSS between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays to complete a brief telephone screening in order to determine if you are eligible. The telephone screening will take approximately 3-5 minutes to complete. You will not be compensated for completing the telephone screening.
