The National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES) is conducted by the National Center for Education
Statistics’ (NCES). NHES is NCES’s principal mechanism for addressing education topics appropriate for
households rather than establishments. Such topics cover a wide range of issues, including early childhood care
and education, children’s readiness for school, parent perceptions of school safety and discipline, before- and
after-school activities of school-age children, participation in adult education and training, parent involvement in
education, school choice, homeschooling, and civic involvement. The NHES consists of a series of rotating
surveys using a two-stage design in which a household screener collects household membership and key
characteristics for sampling and then appropriate topical survey(s) are mailed to sample members. Data from the
NHES are used to provide national cross-sectional estimates on populations of special interest to education
researchers and policymakers. NHES surveys were conducted approximately every other year from 1991 through
2007 using random digit dial (RDD) methodology; beginning in 2012 NHES began collecting data by mail to
improve response rates. NHES:2016, which was approved in August 2015, will repeat the child topical surveys
conducted in 2012: the Early Childhood Program Participation (ECPP), the Parent and Family Involvement in
Education-Enrolled (PFI-E), and the Parent and Family Involvement in Education-Homeschooled (PFI-H), and will
include the first adult topical survey in NHES since 2005, the Adult Training and Education Survey (ATES).
NHES:2016 is currently in the field and mailings for the first stage of the survey (the screener stage), in which we
roster household members at sampled addresses have been completed. The screener response rate to date is 59
percent, which is lower than anticipated. This submission is to add a nonresponse telephone tree operation to
raise the screener response rate.
