ASEC Cognitive Interview Introduction


Thank you for joining me today. Let me tell you what this is about.


I work for Westat (in Rockville, MD), and we’re a research company that conducts research under contract to other organizations, on many different topics. This particular project is for the U.S. Census Bureau – you may know them as the agency that counts the number of people in the country every 10 years. But the Census Bureau actually collects a lot of other data. For example, one survey that do each year, called the Annual Social and Economic Supplement, is very important for measuring the economic status of people in America. It involves asking questions of thousands of people around the country about their family’s income and financial resources. .


Today we are helping the Census Bureau test and improve that survey. See, for the information gathered in any survey to be useful, it's important that the questions are ones that people can easily understand, and provide meaningful answers to, rather than having to take wild guesses. So by sharing some of your reactions to the questions with us, it will help make sure the questions are good questions, and collect accurate information.


Before we get into it, I should make you aware of a few things. First, I want to assure you that everything we cover in the interview will be treated as confidential - Only a very small number of people actually working on the project will have access to the information you share with us, and we won’t use your name in any reports. But if it’s OK with you, we would like to make a recording of our conversation, just so that we can review it later – it helps us analyze our results. (And finally, one of my friends from the Census Bureau that we’re working with is here today – behind the mirror - to observe and see for himself how the questions work.)


CONSENT FORM: Here is a form I must ask you to look over and sign - a standard procedure in these types of studies. It basically states the points I’ve just gone over with you and indicates you have agreed to take part. (MAKE SURE THEY INDICATE WHETHER THEY OR NOT THEY GIVE PERMISSION TO AUDIOTAPE. ONE COPY OF FORM IS FOR RESPONDENT, ONE COPY FOR US)


So the way this will work is - I’m going to be reading questions to you the way I would if it were the actual survey I was telling you about. I’d just like for you to answer the questions the best you can. And because we're trying to improve these questions, please let me know whenever you find a question to be confusing, or it bothers you for some reason, so that we can talk about it. And now and then we’ll pause so that I can ask you to tell me a little about why you answered the way you did, or I might ask you what a word in the question means to you, and things like that. Okay?


INTERVIEWER:

RESPONDENT PERMISSION TO AUDIOTAPE MUST BE ON THE TAPE, SO TURN ON RECORDER AND SAY:


Our conversation is now being recorded. Do I have your permission to record this interview? (I have to have you say “yes” on the recording)


IF RESPONDENT SAYS “NO” THEN TURN OFF RECORDER AND PROCEED WITH INTERVIEW





HOUSEHOLD ROSTER



The way the survey would work (if this were for real) is a Census Bureau interviewer would come to your home and ask you the questions while sitting with you there. The questions are about yourself and the people who live with you.



  1. So starting with yourself, please tell me the names of all persons currently living with you (just their first names are okay).


  1. Is there anyone else who usually lives here but is away at the time – traveling, at school, or in a hospital?


  1. Have we missed any babies or small children?


  1. What is (your/NAME’s) age?


  1. Is NAME male or female?

The next set of questions asks about your job and economic status last year.
