Interview with State staff person
Prior to being contacted about this project, were you aware of the quality/integrity issues surrounding FNS-742 data?
Did you know that FNS uses 742 data in many ways, e.g., informing policy making and technical assistance to legislators?
Do SFAs contact the State for technical assistance in the process of correcting their data?
How many SFAs contacted the State?
Did one contact usually resolve the problem or did it take multiple contacts?
How much time, either on average or in whole, did the State spend providing technical assistance to SFAs?
As far as you know, how easy or difficult was the process of incorporating the edit checks into your system (i.e. having a programmer incorporate code for the checks)?
Would you be inclined to use these edit checks in the future, after this project is over?
Interviews with SFA(s)
How confident are you in the data you report to the State each year?
What is your experience with reporting verification results on an annual basis?
Do you have to re-learn the form every year, or is it like riding a bicycle?
How many error messages did you encounter when first attempting to submit your data?
Were the error messages helpful in finding or identifying the errors?
Were the error messages helpful in correcting the errors?
How could the error messages/process be improved to make reporting easier?
Were you able to correct the errors that were flagged by the system?
If yes, how did you go about accomplishing that?
What went wrong the first time around?
If not, what prevented you from being able to do so?
Is there anything that the State or FNS could do that would be helpful in this process in the future?
