ICF International is conducting a study for the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The purpose of the study is to test survey items on bullying for a national survey. Before they use the survey they have asked us to test it to make sure that the questions are clear and understandable. Since the survey is going to be given to young people your age, we have asked you to be one of the people to share your thoughts and opinions about the survey items.
If you decide to participate in the interview, here are some things you should know.
