Description of Cognitive Interviewee Recruitment Process
Advertisement:
The cognitive labs will be advertised at a variety of locations and through a variety of media in the Chicago metropolitan area to maximize exposure to diverse high school and parent populations, such as:
Community locations (e.g. coffee shops)
Neighborhood and city newspapers
Internet listing services
The advertisements will describe the purpose of the cognitive research and details of participation, including the time commitment, incentive for participation, and contact information. The flyer will also describe the high school grade level requirements.
Recruitment:
Individuals who are interested in participating in a cognitive lab will be asked to call the RSS office to complete a brief screening interview to determine eligibility. Eligible participants will be those determined to be within the eleventh grade, or parents of 11th grade students; some students and parents can be recruited as pairs. In general, respondents should reflect a range of demographic characteristics.
