YouthBuild
48 Month Follow Up Survey
CATI version
September 2015

Persons are not required to respond to this collection of information unless this survey displays a currently valid OMB control
number (OMB 1203-0503, expires 06/30/2018). Responding to this questionnaire, which seeks to help the U.S. Department of
Labor understand how YouthBuild programs are serving disadvantaged youth, is voluntary. Public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average 35 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate to Eileen Pederson, U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
Administration, Office of Policy Development and Evaluation, Room N-5641, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
20210.

[Hello, my name is [INTERVIEWER] and I’m calling from Mathematica Policy Research.]
[I’m calling / I would like to speak with] you about the YouthBuild Evaluation. You may
have received a letter recently to let you know that someone from Mathematica would be
calling to see how you are doing since [we last spoke to you / you joined the study].
[The interview should take around 35 minutes to complete. To thank you, we will send you
a card worth [$25/$40]. The card can be used anywhere that a credit or debit card can be
used.]
The YouthBuild Evaluation is a study paid for by the U.S. Department of Labor and the
Corporation for National and Community Service. The goal of the study is to learn how
YouthBuild helps youth and young adults get a GED certificate or high school diploma,
gain employment skills and find work or prepare for post-secondary training or education.
This study will provide us with important information that will help create better programs
for young people.
The U.S. Department of Labor has funded three organizations, MDRC, Mathematica Policy
Research, and Social Policy Research Associates, to work with YouthBuild programs to
run the study. As part of the study, we are asking you to complete this short interview. The
interview covers several topics, including education, planning for the future, employment,
earnings, involvement with the criminal justice system, and social and emotional
development.
Individual responses will not be matched with specific individuals. Responses to this data
collection will be used only for the purposes of the study. The reports prepared from this
survey will summarize findings across all study participants and individual forms will not
be available to anyone outside the study team, except as required by law.
