PROMISE 18-Month Follow-Up Surveys:
Youth Questionnaire
Draft 3: December 15, 2014

Administrative Notes:
•

The surveys will be administered beginning 19 months after random assignment anniversary date (to
allow for a full 18 months of exposure to services). This instrument is designed in an intervieweradministered format. The parent and youth modules are each designed to take approximately 25
minutes to complete.

•

Consent for participation in both interviews (parent, youth, 18-month and 5-year) was collected from
parent during enrollment in PROMISE. All youth provided assent at the time of enrollment.

•

The target respondent for the parent survey is the parent or guardian who completed the consent
form at the time of enrollment. However, if this parent is not willing or able to take part in the
interview, the youth’s other parent or guardian who resides in the same household as youth could
complete the interview.

•

Parent modules will be completed first, followed by the youth modules. Youth may complete the youth
modules him or herself, or with support from a parent / guardian or other trusted adult. If a youth is
not able to complete his / her interview – these modules may be completed by a proxy. If a proxy
interview is conducted, no items that are subjective in nature will be included in the interview.

•

Interviews will be conducted in English or Spanish. Formatting is used to guide interviewing staff on
question administration. Text shown in ALL CAPS is not read aloud. Text in underline format is
emphasized.

•

Programming logic will be used to route respondents to the next applicable item or section based on
responses provided. The target universe for each item (based on skip logic or other criteria, such as
age), is shown in the bar located above the item number.

•

Logic for which set of respondents complete specific sections are shown in the section outline as well
as in the programming specifications at the start of each section.

•

o

For cases where the youth lives apart from a parent or guardian (such as in a group home or
institutional setting), we will interview the parent or guardian who is most knowledgeable
about the youth’s education and services received.

o

Youth identified as living in their own household, apart from parents or guardians, will
respond to a subset of the parent modules during the youth interview. In these cases, the
parent module will be completed by the parent who provided consent at enrollment.

If a youth is found to be deceased, the case will be coded as ineligible and no further contact will be
attempted.
