The Census Bureau plans to conduct additional research under the generic clearance for questionnaire pretesting research (OMB number 0607-0725). This letter covers recruiting respondents for a number of upcoming projects.
This screener questionnaire is administered to all participants who respond to recruiting ads on Craigslist.com, the Washingtonpost Express and other sources; contacts who are recruited through local organizations; and people who are recruited through solicitations at recruiting tables set up at local libraries, grocery stores, etc.
The screener allows us to identify potential respondents with targeted characteristics, such as parents of children between the ages of 0 and 17 with special needs, people who have more than 1 job, people who have difficulty performing Activities of Daily Living, people who have had contact with the police, people who have large households, people who have sufficient experience on the computer to qualify them for usability studies, and other characteristics that we need to interview in the surveys that we pretest on a one-time or semi-regular basis.
The screener, a copy of which is attached, is completed either over the telephone when people respond to ads or in person when they are solicited at recruiting tables.
We estimate that between now and September 30, approximately 500 people will complete the screener questionnaire. We estimate that completing the questionnaire takes a maximum of 5 minutes. Thus, the total estimated burden for this submission is 42 hours.
The contact person for questions regarding data collection and statistical aspects of the design of this research is listed below:
