INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your time today. My name is _____ and I work for [the US Census Bureau/________). Let me begin by telling you a little more about what we’ll be doing today. The United States Census Bureau counts the population in the U.S. and also conducts various kinds of surveys.
Today, with your help, we will test some new questions that were developed for the New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey. I’m going to play the part of a Census interviewer who knocks on your door to ask you these survey questions. Then I’m going to ask you some follow up questions to find out how well the survey is working. We are going to use your comments and experiences as well as the comments and experiences of other people to help improve the survey. I did not create the survey, so please don’t feel like you have to hold back on your thoughts to be polite to me. We appreciate your help so we can make the survey work well for everyone.
CONSENT
COGNITIVE INTERVIEWER: PLACE THE CONSENT FORM IN FRONT OF PARTICIPANT, THEN READ:
Before we start, I would like to tell you about this document [show them consent form]. Then I’m going to give you some time to read it and you can ask me any questions you may have. This document explains a little bit about this interview and provides information about your rights as a participant. It says that your participation is voluntary, which means that you can refuse to answer any question that you don’t want to answer and you can end the interview at any time. It also says that your answers are confidential. That means that your name and identifying information like your address will not be associated with any answers that you give today. For example, if you tell me that a certain question is confusing, I won’t ever write in a report that [NAME] said this question is confusing. I would write something like, “3 people said this question was confusing.” Finally, this document asks for your permission to have this session audio recorded. This helps me out so I don’t have to take so many notes while we are talking. Only myself and my colleagues who are working on this project will be able to listen to the tape and it will only be used for research purposes. Please take a minute to read this over, and let me know if you have any questions. [LET THEM READ THE FORM.] Okay, do you have any questions for me? [ONCE ALL QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED] Okay, please print your name here [point], sign your name here [point], and put the date here [point]. I’ll sign it as well, and I have another copy for you to keep.
PARTICIPANT READS AND SIGNS FORM. IF PARTICIPANT PROVIDES CONSENT TO HAVE THE SESSION AUDIO TAPED: I will now turn on the audio recorder. IF PARTICIPANT DOES NOT PROVIDE CONSENT TO HAVE THE SESSION AUDIO TAPED, DO YOUR BEST TO TAKE NOTES.
THINK ALOUD
Thank you. I’d like you to answer the questions as you would if we were at your doorstep, with one big difference. What I would like you to do is tell me what you are thinking and feeling as you come up with your answers. Instead of thinking to yourself, I’d like you to think out loud, and I will remind you to do this from time to time. I will also ask you some questions about your answers. I am really interested in how these questions work for you, so there are no right or wrong answers.
[ENGLISH INTERVIEWS ASK R TO PRACTICE THINK ALOUD FIRST. SPANISH INTERVIEWS SKIP TO MODEL THINK ALOUD.]
Let’s do a practice question before we start: Please think aloud as you answer the question, how many windows are in your home?
[GIVE FEEDBACK ON THE THINK ALOUD THEY DID. EITHER YOU HAD A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE WINDOWS OR PROBE SO YOU CAN GET A SENSE OF HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE NUMBER THEY JUST TOLD YOU. YOU
CAN ALSO MODEL THE THINK ALOUD FOR THEM, I.E., “For example, if I were answering for my apartment and thinking out loud, I would say, “Well, there’s a window in my bedroom, and a window in the living room, and there’s a little window in my front door, but that door looks out into the hallway and not outside. Should I count that? I think that doesn’t count. Okay, so I’m going to say two windows.” An explanation like that helps me to understand how you came up with your answer, and it lets me know that maybe some people will count windows inside a building and some people will only count them if you can see outside the building through the window. With that information, we can come up with some suggestions for how to improve the question.]
Great, that’s what I want you to do throughout our session. I will remind you to think aloud if you get quiet.
Do you have any questions before we begin? [INTERVIEWER: ANSWER QUESTIONS.] Okay, let’s get started.
SECTION II. COGNITIVE INTERVIEW |
[INTERVIEWER: REMIND R TO THINK ALOUD THROUGHOUT. PROBE ON ANY UNCODEABLE RESPONSES, DIFFICULTY, HESITATIONS, LAUGHTER, ETC., THE RESPONDENT SHOWS, EVEN IF NO PROBES ARE WRITTEN AT THAT QUESTION. WE ARE PROBING SEMI-RETROSPECTIVELY, SO TAKE NOTE OF THESE HESITATIONS AND HOLD FOLLOW-UP PROBES UNTIL YOU GET TO THE BOX WITH PROBES AT THE END OF EACH SECTION.]
[Half of owners get housing quality/compare current & last home/housing search and half get income/debt/assets.]

For some questions, I will show you a card that has the answer options written down. When you give me your answer, you can tell me the answer or the number next to your answer.
