National Longitudinal Transition Study
Student Baseline Questionnaire:
CATI Programming Specifications
Dated .07.24.12

Draft Updated to:


Update wording / text for students completing survey beyond the 2011-2012 school year, but
keeping it as the reference point.



Adding in logic for the incentive payment differential to parents.



Modifying the flow of items to move majority of consent items to the final section of the
instrument (for the non-interview components of the study).

Student Baseline Questionnaire: CATI Programming Specifications

ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES:


THIS INSTRUMENT IS DESIGNED TO BE INTERVIEWER-ADMINISTERED OVER THE TELEPHONE
WITH AN ESTIMATED DURATION OF 30 MINUTES.



AT BASELINE, THE STUDENT’S INTERVIEW WILL IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW THE PARENT’S CONSENT
AND INTERVIEW. AT BASELINE, PARENTS WILL ALWAYS BE INTERVIEWED BEFORE STUDENTS.



PROXIES WILL BE ALLOWED AND ASKED OBJECTIVE ITEMS ONLY (AS DESIGNATED AT EACH
ITEM). IF THE STUDENT IS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE INTERVIEW ON HIS/HER OWN, PROXY WILL
BE PERSON MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE STUDENT’S EXPERIENCES IN AND OUT OF
SCHOOL.



EACH ITEM DRAWN FROM A PRE-EXISTING INSTRUMENT WILL HAVE, AT THE END OF THE
QUESTION TEXT, THE SOURCE INSTRUMENT AND ITEM REFERENCE NUMBER. IF THE ORIGINAL
SOURCE HAS BEEN MODIFIED, THE TEXT, ‘REV” WILL FOLLOW.



GUIDELINES FOR ADMINISTRATION ARE NOTED THROUGHOUT – ITEMS IN ALL CAPS ARE NOT
READ ALOUD, VERBIAGE UNDERLINED IS EMPHASIZED. STANDARDIZED PROBES AND
DEFINITIONS ARE PROVIDED FOR APPLICABLE ITEMS, AS NEEDED.

DESIGN NOTES:
WHEN AN ITEM IS NOT ASKED OF ALL RESPONDENTS, THE UNIVERSE WILL PRECEDE THE ITEM
NUMBER (E.G. IT IS DESIGNATED AS “IEP ONLY” OR “504 ONLY” OR ONLY FOR STUDENTS OF
SPECIFIC AGE RANGES). CATI SHALL USE AGE FROM PARENT SURVEY FOR ALL APPLICABLE
ITEMS IN STUDENT SURVEY.


CATI WILL DRAW ON VARIABLES FROM THE SAMPLE FILE FOR INITIAL STATUS OF IEP, 504, OR
NOT [IEP, PLAN504]



CATI WILL DRAW ON ITEM J1B TO IDENTIFY WHEN A PROXY INTERVIEW IS BEING CONDUCTED
(J1B=1 CONDUCTED WITH STUDENT HIM/HERSELF J1B=2 CONDUCTED WITH PROXY FOR
STUDENT). WHEN AN ITEM IS NOT ADMINISTERED TO PROXY RESPONDENTS, CATI WILL
AUTOMATICALLY PROCEED TO THE NEXT ITEM IN THE SEQUENCE.



FOR ALL GENDER-RELATED FILLS, CATI WILL DRAW FROM ITEM A11 (WHERE 1= MALE AND
0=FEMALE) AND IF A11= BLANK, FROM SAMPLE FILE ([GENDER], WHERE M= MALE AND F=FEMALE).



ACROSS ALL ITEMS ON NAME AND ADDRESS: DEVIATE FROM BLAISE STANDARD (WHERE
SUBSEQUENT ITEMS SKIPPED IF ANY FIELD = REF / DK ON NAME OR ADDRESS). ANY FIELDS
DESIGNATED AS “D” OR “R” WILL THEN BE CONVERTED TO “.” IN OVERNIGHT TRANSFER.



WHENEVER NAME IS CAPTURED, ALLOW DEVIATION FROM STANDARD (IF IF FIRST NAME = DK,
REF, CONTINUE TO ASK FOR LAST NAME.



WHENEVER A MAILING ADDRESS IS CAPTURED, ALLOW DEVIATION FROM STANDARD (IF IF ONE
SECTION OF ADDRESS FIELD =D, R, CONTINUE TO NEXT FIELD AND DO NO EXIT SERIES).



IN THE OVERNIGHT FILE TRANSFER FIELDS WHERE NAME OR EMAIL ADDRESS = DK, REF IN DATA
WILL BE CONVERTED TO “.” (MISSING).



ADD FIELD DRAWN FROM SMS DATA FLAG TO POPULATE RESPONDENT PAYMENT INFO ON DIAL
SCREEN USING THE TABLE BELOW.

CATI SET UP THE FOLLOWING GROUPS FOR INTERVIEWERS WHO WILL RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF
CASES, BASED ON THEIR GROUP ASSIGNMENT:

 The U.S. Department of Education is sponsoring the National Longitudinal Transition
Study. Through this important project, we hope to learn more about issues youth face
today as they transition from school to adult life and how schools can better support
students in reaching their goals. We are asking you to be part of this study.

 Before we begin, I need to describe some important pieces of the study. Please ask me
any questions as we go along. To begin, this is a voluntary research study. The purpose
is to see what helps students move from school to adulthood. {You are/{NAME} is} one of
18,000 students being asked to take part in the study from across the United States.
{Your/{NAME}’s} parent (or legal guardian) answered questions about {your/his/her}
family, experiences, and supports {you get/ he/she gets} from school and other places.

to take part. Your parent (or guardian) can help you answer questions or answer for you, if needed.
CATI: INSERT FOR ALL: If you agree, I will complete {your/{NAME}’s} interview over the telephone. It
takes about 30 minutes. The questions will be about {you, school, and your plans for the future/
him/her, his/her school, and his/her plans for the future}. An interviewer will talk to you again in 2014. If
you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can stop and nothing bad will happen to you. The
information you provide will be kept confidential. All reports will be in summary form only {your/{NAME}’s} name will never be used. There are no special risks if you take part in this study.
CATI: INSERT IF AGE < 18 AND J1B = 1: Your parent or legal guardian has agreed for you to be in
this study, but we are asking for your permission, as well.
CATI: INSERT FOR ALL: We’ll mail you a letter describing what we just discussed, so you have it for

 Now, let’s talk about other parts of this study. I’ll describe each part one at a time. Then
I’ll ask you if you give your permission for that part or not. Each student’s math or
language arts teacher would be asked to do a survey to learn more about {your/{his/her}}
class. Do we have your permission to contact {your/{NAME}’s} math or language arts
teacher for that survey?
