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 through response to a telephone screener questionnaire.
This letter requests burden hours from November 1, 2018 through April 30, 2020 using two screeners: the Census Bureau’s “universal screener” used for nearly all projects undertaken in the Center for Behavioral Science Methods (formerly the Center for Survey Measurement) and one specific to a study on the undercount of young children (“UYC”). These screeners have been streamlined to include the bare minimum set of questions necessary for screening of potential respondents for our cognitive testing and focus groups that require a population of individuals in households at risk for omitting young children from their census forms. Copies of the screeners are attached (“Part A” is the universal screener and “Part B” is the UYC screener).
We estimate that between November 1, 2018 and April 30, 2020 approximately 1,500 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 125 hours.
