Exhibit 1. NHES:2019 Screener design and contact mailings

	Baseline Condition	Targeted Mailings Condition	Opt-out Screener	Updated Sequential Mixed Mode Condition	Choice-Plus Condition	Modeled Mode Condition
Summary	Replicates 2016 mixed-mode (MM) design (but using updated letter wording based on expert panel recommendations), to be used as a baseline comparison condition	Tests whether using targeted mailings for likely Spanish speaking/Hispanic households increases the response rate for those cases	Test placement of a question about if the household has children on the cover of the screener. This includes including text in mailings about how short the survey is if you do not have children.	Builds on lessons learned in 2016/2017; tests new contact methods in context of mixed-mode (MM) design	Tests whether incentivizing web/TQA response (when offering web and paper concurrently) increases the response rate or web/TQA response;tests whether incentive value ($10 vs. $20) makes a difference	Tests whether targeting some cases for a paper-only protocol increases the response rate among those cases
Variation in mailings within condition	Same mailing type and wording for all cases	Same mailing type for all cases Wording: if in the targeted subgroup, use targeted wording for mailings; if not, use baseline wording	Advance letter FedEx second Same mailing wording for all cases receiving the same mailing type	3x3 mailing experiment Advance mailing campaign / advance letter / no advance mailings (one third in each) FedEx second / FedEx fourth / FedEx modeled (one third in each) Same mailing wording for all cases receiving the same mailing type (ex: for second survey package, FedEx letters might differ from First Class letters – but all FedEx letters will be the same)	Cases will be offered either $10 or $20 Same mailing type for all cases After the advance letter, $10 cases will receive different letters from $20 because the letters will reference the promised incentive amount All respondent cases will receive the same incentive delivery letter	Cases targeted for paper-only: paper-only mailings throughout Cases not targeted for paper-only: baseline condition mailings

Summary

Replicates 2016 mixed-mode (MM) design (but using updated letter wording based on expert panel recommendations), to be used as a baseline comparison condition

Tests whether using targeted mailings for likely Spanish speaking/Hispanic households increases the response rate for those cases

Test placement of a question about if the household has children on the cover of the screener. This includes including text in mailings about how short the survey is if you do not have children.

Builds on lessons learned in 2016/2017; tests new contact methods in context of mixed-mode (MM) design

Tests whether incentivizing web/TQA response (when offering web and paper concurrently) increases the response rate or web/TQA response;tests whether incentive value ($10 vs. $20) makes a difference

Tests whether targeting some cases for a paper-only protocol increases the response rate among those cases

Variation in mailings within condition

Same mailing type and wording for all cases

Same mailing type for all cases

Wording: if in the targeted subgroup, use targeted wording for mailings; if not, use baseline wording

Advance letter
FedEx second
Same mailing wording for all cases receiving the same mailing type

3x3 mailing experiment

Advance mailing campaign / advance letter / no advance mailings (one third in each)
FedEx second / FedEx fourth / FedEx modeled (one third in each)
Same mailing wording for all cases receiving the same mailing type (ex: for second survey package, FedEx letters might differ from First Class letters – but all FedEx letters will be the same)

Cases will be offered either $10 or $20
Same mailing type for all cases
After the advance letter, $10 cases will receive different letters from $20 because the letters will reference the promised incentive amount

All respondent cases will receive the same incentive delivery letter

Cases targeted for paper-only: paper-only mailings throughout
Cases not targeted for paper-only: baseline condition mailings

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education, is authorized to conduct the National Household Education Survey (NHES) by the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA 2002, 20 U.S.C. §9543). The U.S. Census Bureau is administering this voluntary survey on behalf of NCES. There are no penalties should you choose not to participate in this study. All of the information you provide may be used only for statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law (20 U.S.C. §9573 and 6 U.S.C. §151).

Advance mailings

Several advance mailing materials will be utilized in NHES:2019. Addresses sampled to be a part of the advance mail campaign experiment will receive two advance over-sized postcards designed to build awareness of the NHES. One oversized postcard will feature data from the ECPP survey and one oversized postcard will feature data from the PFI survey (0939-10.1P(W) and 0939-10.2P(W), respectively).

After the advance mailer campaign, most addresses, except those sampled to receive no advance letter, will receive an advance letter. Addresses sampled to start in web will be sent either an English or bilingual letter depending on whether or not the address is predicted to have a Spanish speaker (NHES-10L(MW) and NHES-10LB(MW), respectively).

Further, addresses sampled as part of the group that will receive materials tailored to Spanish speakers and predicted to have likely Spanish speakers will receive the same bilingual advance letter as most addresses (NHES-10LB(MW)).

Finally, addresses modeled to be part of the paper-only collection will receive either an English or a bilingual advance letter informing the households that they will receive paper surveys (NHES10L(M) and NHES10LB(M), respectively).

Initial screener package letters

The letters accompanying the initial screener packages represent the first formal invitation sampled households are given to complete the survey.

Most households in NHES:2019 will be asked to complete the web survey with the first screener mailing. Among those households, most addresses will receive NHES-11L(W). Addresses in areas with a high concentration of Spanish-speaking residents will receive the bilingual NHES-11LB(W).

Further, addresses that are part of the tailored materials experiment group and are predicted to have Spanish speakers will receive NHES-11LB(T). Those sampled for the tailored materials experiment group but not predicted to have Spanish speakers will receive the NHES-11L(W) noted above. The tailored letter includes endorsements from organizations and programs that are currently being pursued by NCES but have not yet been obtained. A letter that will be used to seek endorsements is provided preceding the tailored screener materials.

One of the experiments in NHES:2019 is the “screenout screener,” in which we will test placement of a question about whether or not the household has children on the cover of the screener. We theorize that respondents in households without children will see the cover of the screenout screener survey and perceive the survey to be extremely low burden because they do not need to open the questionnaire to complete it. In order to parallel this perception of very low burden for web respondents, the letters accentuate the very short length of the web survey. Addresses sampled for the screenout screener condition will be part of the protocol receiving two web invitations followed by two paper invitations. The web letters they will receive in the first screener mailing will be the English-language NHES-11L(SO) or NHES-11LB(SO) for addresses flagged for bilingual mailings.

Recall that some addresses will be a part of the advance mailing experiment condition in which they receive no advance mailing at all. Initial screener letters will be used for those addresses that do not reference previous mailings. These are the English NHES-11L(NA) and the bilingual NHES-11LB(NA).

Some addresses will receive paper surveys throughout collection. NHES-11L(M) and NHES-11LB(M) will be utilized for those addresses.

Finally, the “choice-plus” experiment relies on communicating to the sampled addresses that they have the choice of responding by web or paper or phone but that web and phone response is preferred, and we will promise additional incentive to respond by web or phone (NHES11.1L(CP) and NHES-11.1LB(CP) for a $10 promised incentive and NHES11.2L(CP) and NHES11.2LB(CP) for a $20 promised incentive).

Letter to be used to seek endorsements for letters targeted to Spanish-speaking households

NHES Endorsement Request Letter for Materials Targeted to Spanish Speakers

[NCES Letterhead]

[Date]

[Director’s name]

[Organization name]

[Address]

[City, State Zip]

Dear [Name]:

I am writing to inform you about an opportunity to increase the precision of statistical estimates about the experiences of Spanish-speaking children from birth to grade 12. The National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES) is a set of sample surveys conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics here at the U.S. Department of Education. NHES was designed to collect information that cannot be collected through institutions-- information such as young children’s early learning activities and care arrangements or school-aged children’s homework and reasons parents chose the student’s school. The surveys have been collected since 1991, and the NHES website is at nces.ed.gov/nhes. The surveys are offered by mail, web, and phone, in English and in Spanish.

In preparation for the NHES:2019 administration of the Early Childhood Program Participation survey and the Parent and Family Involvement in Education survey, we are seeking ways to encourage more participation from sampled Spanish-speaking households. We know from American Community Survey data that Spanish-speakers respond to the NHES at disproportionately lower levels than English-speaking households. In order to encourage Spanish-speaking households to participate, we are asking esteemed organizations from around the nation to learn about and then endorse the study through letters that will be sent to households that are in geographic areas with high concentrations of Spanish speakers. We would like to speak with you or, if you prefer, someone else in your organization about the importance of NHES:2019 and the opportunity to endorse the study.

In the next few days, an individual from my office will be following up with you about endorsing NHES:2019. Alternatively, you can call or email the project officer for the NHES directly. Her name is Sarah Grady, and she is reachable at 202-245-7063 or at [email protected].

Thank you in advance for your support of NHES:2019, and for working together to improve the quality of education for all children.

Sincerely,

James Lynn Woodworth, Ph.D.

Commissioner, NCES

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education, is authorized to conduct the National Household Education Survey (NHES) by the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA 2002, 20 U.S.C. §9543). The U.S. Census Bureau is administering this voluntary survey on behalf of NCES. There are no penalties should an individual choose not to participate in this study. All of the information provided may be used only for statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law (20 U.S.C. §9573 and 6 U.S.C. §151).

Screener reminder postcards and pressure-sealed mailers

NHES has long utilized reminder/thank you postcards. These postcards are sent to all sample members and are intended to boost the impact of the initial screener packages. When NHES was all paper in 2012, paper postcards were sent. Starting with the NHES:2017 web test, pressure-sealed mailers, which are folded postcards with tear-off tabs, have been used to provide respondents with their unique and confidential web survey log-in credentials.

Cases in the paper-only collection and those in the baseline collection will receive either the English or bilingual postcard (0939-12P(MW) or 0939-12PB(MW)). The baseline collection includes a paper postcard rather than a pressure-sealed mailer because cases in this group are receiving the same protocol as the NHES:2016 web experiment.

All other addresses will receive the pressure-sealed mailer because they will have received a request to complete the survey by web (with the exception of the baseline collection that is requesting to complete the survey by web but will receive a postcard). Most of these cases will receive the 0939-12P(W) in English or the bilingual 0939-12PB(W).

Addresses that are part of the tailored materials experiment group and are predicted to have Spanish speakers will receive the 0939-12PB(W). Those sampled for the tailored materials experiment group but not predicted to have Spanish speakers will receive the 0939-12P(W) noted above.

Finally, the “choice-plus” experiment cases will receive pressure-sealed mailers that remind them of the promised incentive for completion by web or phone. English and bilingual versions of those materials will be used (0939-12.1P(CP) and 0939-12.1PB(CP) for $10 and the 0939-12.2P(CP) and 0939-12.2PB(CP) for $20).

Second screener package letters

Except for the paper-only cases and the “choice plus” experiment cases, NHES:2019 sample members will be asked to complete the survey by web in the second screener mailing. The English and bilingual versions of these letters are NHES-12L(W) and NHES-12LB(W).

Addresses that are part of the tailored materials experiment group and are predicted to have Spanish speakers will receive the bilingual NHES-12LB(W) letter. Those sampled for the tailored materials experiment group but not predicted to have Spanish speakers will receive the NHES-12L(W) noted above.

For those addresses that are receiving only paper, the NHES-12L(M) in English or the bilingual NHES-12LB(M) will be sent.

The “choice plus” experiment letters will again emphasize the promised incentive for respondents who choose to complete the survey by web. $10 and $20 letters, both in English or bilingual, will be utilized for those addresses (NHES-12.1L(CP) and NHES-12.1LB(CP) for $10 and NHES-12.2L(CP) and NHES-12.2LB(CP) for $20).

NHES:2019 will for the first time send second screener packages to some addresses using FedEx. These will be addresses that are modeled to respond to FedEx and therefore may eliminate the need for the government to send follow-up mailings after the second FedEx mailing. English and bilingual letters have been created to emphasize the rush delivery method for those addresses (NHES-12L(SM) and NHES-12LB(SM)).

Finally, addresses in the screenout screener condition will receive a letter in which the potential to respond to only one item on the survey is emphasized; this will be the last web invitation these addresses will receive before they are sent the screenout screener with the third mailing. The NHES-12L(SO) in English and the bilingual NHES-12LB(SO) will be utilized for these addresses. These letters will also be sent rush delivery through FedEx.

Screener robocalls

Address information can be matched to phone numbers for more than half of the addresses on the NHES sample. Automated calls to these phone numbers are theorized to boost the impact of the FedEx, which will be utilized for most third screener mailings. Below, the text of those robocall messages is provided for addresses about to receive FedEx at this third mailing, addresses that are not going to receive FedEx, and addresses in the group receiving materials tailored to appeal to Spanish speakers, respectively.

Reminder robocall – FedEx NHES-12.1L(RC)

Hello! This is U.S. Census Bureau on behalf of the National Household Education Survey. Thank you for receiving our earlier mailings. We know you are busy but your response is vital to the success of our study about learning. Keep a lookout for our next mailing. It will be sent by FedEx! We thank you in advance for your help with this important national study!

Reminder robocall – Not FedEx NHES-12.2L(RC)

Hello! This is U.S. Census Bureau on behalf of the National Household Education Survey. Thank you for receiving our earlier mailings. We know you are busy but your response is vital to the success of our study about learning. Keep a lookout for our next mailing. It will be sent in the next few days. We thank you in advance for your help with this important national study!

Reminder robocall – FedEx (targeted group) NHES-12.1L(RCT)

Hola! This is U.S. Census Bureau on behalf of the National Household Education Survey. Thank you for receiving our earlier mailings. We know you are busy but your response is vital to the success of our study about learning. Keep a lookout for our next mailing. It will be sent by FedEx! We thank you in advance for your help with this important national study!

Third screener package letters

If a sample member has not yet responded to the NHES survey after the second screener mailing, a third screener package will be sent. All households that have not responded will receive a paper survey at this stage of NHES:2019. Most households will receive this package via FedEx, although some will have received FedEx in the previous mailing instead. And some will receive a FedEx package for the fourth screener package instead of the third. All third screener cover letters will have an English version and a bilingual version. For most households, the third package will include the English NHES-13L(M) or the bilingual NHES-13LB(M). These letters emphasize the rush delivery.

Addresses that are part of the tailored materials experiment group and are predicted to have Spanish speakers will receive the NHES-13LB(T) letter. Those sampled for the tailored materials experiment group but not predicted to have Spanish speakers will receive the NHES-13L(M) noted above. The tailored letter includes endorsements from organizations and programs that are currently being pursued by NCES but have not yet been obtained.

All addresses in the choice plus experiment will receive their third package by FedEx. Letters for those sample members with a promised incentive of $10 and those with a promised incentive of $20 are included (NHES-13.1L(CP) and NHES-13.1LB(CP) for $10 and NHES-13.2L(CP) and NHES-13.2LB(CP) for $20).

Addresses slated to receive survey packages via FedEx at the second or fourth mailing will not receive the third mailing by FedEx. NHES-13L(SM) and NHES-13LB(SM) are for those addresses.

Finally, addresses flagged to receive the screenout screener will receive it in this package; the accompanying letters (NHES-13L(SO) and NHES-13LB(SO)) will tell the respondent what to do to complete the survey if there are no children in the household.

Fourth screener package letters

If a sample member has not yet responded to the NHES survey after the third screener mailing, a fourth screener package will be sent. All households that have not responded will receive a paper survey at this stage of NHES:2019. Most households will receive this package via regular U.S. postal service, although some will receive a FedEx package instead. All fourth screener cover letters will have an English version and a bilingual version. For most households, the fourth package will include the English NHES-14L(M) or the bilingual NHES-14LB(M). These letters request a response within the next two weeks.

Addresses that are part of the tailored materials experiment group and are predicted to have Spanish speakers will receive the NHES-14LB(M) letter. Those sampled for the tailored materials experiment group but not predicted to have Spanish speakers will receive the NHES-14L(M) noted above.

All addresses in the choice plus experiment will receive their fourth package by U.S. postal service. Letters for those sample members with a promised incentive of $10 and those with a promised incentive of $20 are included (NHES-14.1L(CP) and NHES-14.1LB(CP) for $10 and NHES-14.2L(CP) and NHES-14.2LB(CP) for $20).

Addresses slated to receive survey packages via FedEx at the fourth mailing will receive a different letter. NHES-14L(SM) and NHES-14LB(SM) are for those.

Finally, addresses flagged to receive the screenout screener will receive it in this package; the accompanying letters (NHES-14L(SO) and NHES-14LB(SO)) will tell the respondent what to do to complete the survey if there are no children in the household.

First ECPP topical package letters

Recall that if at any point during the screener period a respondent completes the NHES screener by web, a sample member is chosen “on the fly” and the respondent is asked to answer additional questions about the sampled child. Web screener respondents immediately become topical web respondents and no further follow-up is needed.¹ This section provides the cover letters that will be placed on top of ECPP topical surveys for addresses in which a screener was returned by mail and an eligible child age birth to 6 years old but not yet in kindergarten could be sampled.

If a screener was returned in English, the respondent will receive NHES-21L(M). If a screener was returned in Spanish, the respondent will receive NHES-21LS(M). Some exceptions follow.

Addresses sampled for the materials tailored for Spanish speakers who return their screeners in Spanish will receive the ECPP letter in Spanish (NHES21LS(M)).

If a household responded to the NHES screener by web and was sampled to receive the ECPP topical but did not respond to any ECPP topical items, the sampled address will receive a letter encouraging them to go back to the web and complete the survey. This letter will include their login credentials to return to the survey (NHES-21L(W) and NHES-21LS(W)).

Finally, those in the “choice-plus” experiment who responded to the screener on the web but did not respond to any topical item will receive a letter asking them to return to the survey to complete it by web or phone to receive the additional incentive (NHES21.1L(CP) and NHES-21.1LB(CP) for a $10 promised incentive and NHES21.2L(CP) and NHES21.2LB(CP) for a $20 promised incentive). If they responded to the screener by paper then they will receive NHES-21L(M) or NHES-21LS(M).

Topical ECPP and PFI reminder postcards and pressure-sealed mailers

Much like the thank you/reminder postcards utilized after the first screener mailings, recipients of an ECPP or PFI package will receive a thank you/reminder postcard about a week after receiving their topical package in order to boost the impact of the first topical mailing.

Screener respondents who used the English form will receive the 0939-22P(M), and screener respondents who used the Spanish form will receive the 0939-22PS(M). Additionally, addresses sampled for the materials tailored for Spanish speakers who return their screeners in Spanish will receive the topical postcard 0939-22P(M).

If a household responded to the NHES screener by web and was sampled to receive either the ECPP or PFI topical but did not respond to any topical items, the sampled address will receive a pressure-sealed envelope reminder letter than includes their login credentials (0939-22RC(W) and 0939-22RCS(W))

Finally, those in the “choice-plus” experiment who responded to the screener on the web but did not respond to any topical item will receive a pressure-sealed envelope reminder letter with their login credentials (0939-22.1RC(CP) and 0939-22.1RCS(CP) for a $10 promised incentive and 0939-22.2RC(CP) and 0939-22.2RCS(CP) for a $20 promised incentive). If they responded to the screener by paper then they will receive 0939-22L(M) or 0939-22LS(M).

Second ECPP topical package letters

Mail-based screener respondents with an ECPP-eligible child who did not respond to the topical survey request after the first mailing will receive a second mailing.

Screener respondents who used the English form will receive NHES-22L(M), and screener respondents who used the Spanish form will receive NHES-22LS(M). Additionally, addresses sampled for the materials tailored for Spanish speakers who return their screeners in Spanish will receive the second topical letter NHES-22LS(M).

If a household responded to the NHES screener by web and was sampled to receive the ECPP topical but did not respond to any topical items yet, the sampled address will receive a second letter than includes their login credentials (NHES-22L(W) and NHES-22LS(W)).

Finally, those in the “choice-plus” experiment who responded to the screener on the web but did not respond to any topical items after the first mailing will receive a second letter with their login credentials (NHES-22.1L(CP) and NHES-22.1LS(CP) for a $10 promised incentive and NHES-22.2L(CP) and NHES-22.2LS(CP) for a $20 promised incentive). If they responded to the screener by paper then they will receive NHES-22L(M) or NHES-22LS(M).

[Dear Parent of <sampled child’s name>:]

Did you know that in 2016, about 60 percent of young children were being cared for regularly by someone other than their parents for about 29 hours per week?

This is just one of the statistics that we learn from the National Household Education Survey.

Now, we need you to help update important information about children’s early learning. Please find the survey and postage-paid envelope enclosed again for your convenience.

Please answer this survey about the child listed below:

<Name> <age> <gender> [Example: Eva, the 3 year old girl]

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact us toll-free at 1-888-840-8353. You can find more information online at https://nces.ed.gov/nhes/.

ECPP robocall and third topical package letters

Mail-based screener respondents with an ECPP-eligible child who did not respond to the topical survey request after the first or second mailing will receive a robocall and a third mailing. The robocall will alert respondents that a FedEx package is coming.

For the third ECPP mailings, mail screener respondents who used the English form will receive NHES-23L(M), and screener respondents who used the Spanish form will receive NHES-23LS(M). Additionally, addresses sampled for the materials tailored for Spanish speakers who return their screeners in Spanish will receive the third topical letter NHES-23LS(M).

If a household responded to the NHES screener by web and was sampled to receive the ECPP topical but did not respond to any topical items yet after the previous mailings, the sampled address will receive a third letter than includes their login credentials (NHES-23L(W) and NHES-23LS(W)).

Finally, those in the “choice-plus” experiment who responded to the screener on the web but did not respond to any topical items after the previous mailings will receive a third letter with their login credentials (NHES-23.1L(CP) and NHES-23.1LS(CP) for a $10 promised incentive and NHES-23.2L(CP) and NHES-23.2LS(CP) for a $20 promised incentive). If they responded to the screener by paper then they will receive NHES-23L(M) or NHES-23LS(M).

Reminder robocall (ECPP) NHES-22.1L(RC)

Hello! This is U.S. Census Bureau on behalf of the National Household Education Survey. Thank you for receiving our earlier mailings. We know you are busy. Keep a lookout for our next mailing. It will be sent by FedEx! We thank you in advance for your help with this important national study about early childhood care and education!

First PFI topical package letters

Recall that if at any point during the screener period a respondent completes the NHES screener by web, a sample member is chosen “on the fly” and the respondent is asked to answer additional questions about the sampled child. Web screener respondents immediately become topical web respondents and no further follow-up is needed.² This section provides the cover letters that will be placed on top of PFI topical surveys for addresses in which a screener was returned by mail and an eligible child age 20 years or younger in grades kindergarten through 12 could be sampled.

If a screener was returned in English, the respondent will receive NHES-31L(M). If a screener was returned in Spanish, the respondent will receive NHES-31LS(M). Some exceptions follow.

Addresses sampled for the materials tailored for Spanish speakers who return their screeners in Spanish will receive the PFI letter in Spanish (NHES-31LS(M)).

If a household responded to the NHES screener by web and was sampled to receive the PFI topical but did not respond to any PFI topical items, the sampled address will receive a letter encouraging them to go back to the web and complete the survey. This letter will include their login credentials to return to the survey (NHES-31L(W) and NHES-31LS(W)).

Finally, those in the “choice-plus” experiment who responded to the screener on the web but did not respond to any topical item will receive letter asking them to return to the survey to complete it by web or phone to receive the additional incentive (NHES-31.1L(CP) and NHES-31.1LB(CP) for a $10 promised incentive and NHES-31.2L(CP) and NHES-31.2LB(CP) for a $20 promised incentive). If they responded to the screener by paper then they will receive NHES-31L(M) or NHES-31LS(M).

Mail-based screener respondents with a PFI-eligible child who did not respond to the topical survey request after the first mailing will receive a second mailing.

Screener respondents who used the English form will receive NHES-32L(M), and screener respondents who used the Spanish form will receive NHES-32LS(M). Additionally, addresses sampled for the materials tailored for Spanish speakers who return their screeners in Spanish will receive the second topical letter NHES-32LS(M).

If a household responded to the NHES screener by web and was sampled to receive the PFI topical but did not respond to any topical items yet, the sampled address will receive a second letter than includes their login credentials (NHES-32L(W) and NHES-32LS(W))

Finally, those in the “choice-plus” experiment who responded to the screener on the web but did not respond to any topical items after the first mailing will receive a second letter with their login credentials (NHES-32.1L(CP) and NHES-32.1LS(CP) for a $10 promised incentive and NHES-32.2L(CP) and NHES-32.2LS(CP) for a $20 promised incentive).

PFI robocall and third PFI topical package letters

Mail-based screener respondents with a PFI-eligible child who did not respond to the topical survey request after the first or second mailing will receive a robocall and a third mailing. The robocall will alert respondents that a FedEx package is coming.

For the third PFI mailings, mail screener respondents who used the English form will receive NHES-33L(M), and screener respondents who used the Spanish form will receive NHES-33LS(M). Additionally, addresses sampled for the materials tailored for Spanish speakers who return their screeners in Spanish will receive the third topical letter NHES-33LS(M).

If a household responded to the NHES screener by web and was sampled to receive the PFI topical but did not respond to any topical items yet after the previous mailings the sampled address will receive a third letter than includes their login credentials (NHES-33L(W) and NHES-33LS(W))

Finally, those in the “choice-plus” experiment who responded to the screener on the web but did not respond to any topical items after the previous mailings will receive a third letter with their login credentials (NHES-33.1L(CP) and NHES-33.1LS(CP) for a $10 promised incentive and NHES-33.2L(CP) and NHES-33.2LS(CP) for a $20 promised incentive). If they responded to the screener by paper then they will receive NHES-33L(M) or NHES-33LS(M).

Commonly asked questions

In prior NHES administrations the commonly asked questions (CAQs) were included on the back page of the paper screener and topical surveys. In focus groups that were conducted in 2017 to gain feedback on the NHES mailings, one of the main takeaways was that participants wanted to see the commonly asked questions earlier in the survey. For NHES:2019, the plan is to remove the CAQs from the paper surveys and include them as a separate document that is included in all the mailing packages. This will allow for the information to be more apparent than when placed at the back of the survey. Also, the majority of cases in NHES:2019 will not receive a paper screener until the third mailing; the separate CAQ insert will allow those sampled addresses to have the study information provided in CAQ along with the survey invitation letter that provides instructions for completing the survey online. Each document will be bilingual with English on one side and Spanish on the other.

The following pages include:

<Spanish will be on the back of this insert>

Commonly Asked Questions about the National Household Education Survey

Q: How did you get my address?

A: Your address was randomly selected from all the home addresses in the nation. It was selected to represent other households in the United States. With responses from randomly selected households, we can generate statistics about the entire U.S. population.

Q: Why should I take part in this study? Do I have to do this?

A: This study is the only way that we can learn about children’s care, early learning activities, and schooling from your perspective. Data from this study may be used by policymakers and researchers to improve programs for children.

Your answers and opinions are very important to the success of this study. You represent thousands of other households like yours. We cannot simply replace you with another household because that would ruin the representativeness of the survey results and provide false data.

Q: Why don’t you ask more questions about education in this survey?

A: The purpose of this survey is to find out if anyone in your household is eligible for the next stage of the survey. If so, we will send a second survey that will ask about educational experiences of a member of your household.

Q: If there are no children or anyone currently in school in my household, should I respond?

A: Yes, you should respond to this survey. We need responses even from households without children to get accurate estimates of the U.S. population. If there are no children in your household, you will only need to answer one question!

Q: How will the information I provide be used? Will my privacy be protected?

A: Your responses will be combined with those of others to produce statistical summaries and reports. Your individual data will not be reported. All of the information you provide may be used only for statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law (20 U.S.C. §9573 and 6 U.S.C. §151).

Q: How much time will it take?

A: On average, it should take 3 minutes for you to respond, including the time for reviewing instructions and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

Q: Who is sponsoring the study? Is this study conducted by the Federal Government?

A: The U.S. Census Bureau is administering this voluntary survey on behalf of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). NCES, within the U.S. Department of Education, is authorized to conduct this survey by the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA 2002, 20 U.S.C. §9543).

This study has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the office that reviews all federally sponsored surveys.

Q: Who should I contact if I have questions or comments about this survey?

A: If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate or suggestions for improving the survey, please email: [email protected] or write directly to: Sarah Grady, National Household Education Survey (NHES), National Center for Education Statistics, Potomac Center Plaza, 550 12th Street SW, Room 4010, Washington, DC 20202. If you have any questions about this survey or the status of your individual submission of this survey, contact the Census Bureau toll-free at 1-888-840-8353.

Phone script

The Census Bureau’s toll-free phone line will be staffed with English-speaking and bilingual operators from 8:00 am to 8:00pm EST everyday during the NHES:2019 data collection period. These operators will be able to answer questions about NHES, check on the status of a submission, and also complete the interview with the respondent. In order to complete the interview, the operator will use the same web survey instrument that the respondent would use. Question wording details are provided in Appendix 3 of this submission. Additionally, telephone operators will use the following script to initiate completion of the screener with respondents who call in to the Telephone Questionnaire Assistance (TQA) line:

English:

“To start with this voluntary survey, I need either the control number on your questionnaire or letter, or your address…

Thank you.

Are there any children or youth age 20 or younger living in this household?

Include small children, foster children, babies, and those living in college housing (if they have no other permanent home).”

[If no:] “Thank you for calling and completing the survey.”

[If yes, the operator will complete the survey for the respondent screen by screen. Beforehand, the operator will say:]

“Okay, thank you. The survey will take about 30 minutes or less to complete. Let’s start with the first question about your household and see how far we can get…”

Spanish:

“Para comenzar con esta encuesta voluntaria, necesito el número de control en su encuesta o carta, o su dirección ...

Gracias

¿Hay algún niño o joven menor de 20 años viviendo en este hogar?

Incluya niños pequeños, niños en acogimiento, bebes, y aquellos que viven en viviendas en la Universidad (si no tiene otra vivienda permanente).

[if no:] “Gracias por llamar y completar la encuesta.”

[If yes, the operator will complete the survey for the respondent screen by screen. Beforehand, the operator will say:]

"Gracias. La encuesta demorará alrededor de 30 minutos o menos en completarse. Comencemos con la primera pregunta sobre su hogar y veamos qué tan lejos podemos llegar ... "

Website content

During the collection period for NHES:2019, the NHES website at nces.ed.gov/nhes will include a special link. The webpages in the link will provide information to NHES sample members about the study. The primary goals of these web pages will be:

Provide a quick link for survey respondents to get to the web survey instrument to complete the survey. Qualitative research indicates that sample members often use search engines to get to the web survey instrument rather than typing the url into the browser. The NHES website should have a quick link to the web survey instrument; and,
Provide enough information about the study to establish its legitimacy for skeptical sample members.

Pending resources, these materials will be translated into Spanish and offered on the NHES website in Spanish as well.

General Information about the National Household Education Survey (NHES)

What is NHES?

The National Household Education Survey (NHES) provides descriptive data on the educational activities of the U.S. population and offers researchers, educators, and policymakers a variety of statistics on the condition of education in the United States. NHES collects data about learning at home and about education decisions made at home. These are topics that are not easily collected through schools.

What types of questions will be asked?

First, all households are asked to answer some initial questions in order to help us understand their household characteristics. Depending on the characteristics of the household, some will receive additional questions asking about young children’s care and education, or students’ and families’ experiences with schools or homeschooling.

What is the purpose of NHES? How will my responses be used?

The Department of Education wants to understand the condition of education in the United States.

This study is the only way that we can learn about children’s care, early learning activities, and schooling from your perspective. Data from this study may be used by policymakers and researchers to improve programs for children.

Your responses will be combined with those from other households to inform educators, policymakers, schools and universities about changes in the condition of education in the United States. Reports from past studies can be found at http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/getpubcats.asp?sid=004.

How did you get my address?

Your address was randomly selected from all the home addresses in the nation. It was selected to represent other households like yours in the United States. With responses from randomly selected households, we can generate statistics about the entire U.S. population.

Participating in NHES

Why should I take part in this study? Do I have to do this?

How much time will it take?

If you have no children, the survey will take about 3 minutes, including the time for reviewing instructions. If you do have children, the survey will take about 30 minutes or less.

Survey Sponsor and Data Collector

Accessibility

The Census Bureau is committed to making online forms and other public documents on its Internet server accessible to all. Currently, we are reviewing our web sites and making modifications to those pages, which are not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. We use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create pages that are generally accessible to persons using screen-reading devices, and we are careful in our construction of HTML documents to ensure maximum accessibility. We include alternate text describing graphics.

Many Census Bureau Internet documents are in ASCII or HTML formats. These documents are accessible to persons using screen-reading software. We also have a large number of documents in Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) files. Currently, many people using screen-reading devices cannot read documents in PDF format, specifically those that were created from a scanned hard copy.

Adobe Systems, Inc. is producing various products designed to make Adobe Acrobat documents accessible to persons using screen-reading software. Adobe's accessibility web pages describe their efforts.

To allow us to better serve those with visual disabilities who are having difficulty accessing PDF documents; you may contact us directly for further assistance at 301-763-INFO (4636), 800-923-8282, or by submitting a request at ask.census.gov.

Item: Security Screen (security)

Data are Encrypted at all Times

Our secure servers use Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS) to ensure the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and the U.S. Census Bureau. This means that instead of sending readable text over the Internet, both your browser and our servers encode (scramble) all text using a security key. That way, personal data sent to your browser and data you send back are extremely difficult to decode in the unlikely event of interception by an unauthorized party. As a result of this, your browser must be capable of using the required encryption protocol and strength in order to connect to our servers. If you cannot connect to our secure servers, please upgrade to a newer browser.

Third Party Identity Proofing

Our secure servers use a digital certificate (digital ID) issued by a trusted, third party Certificate Authority (CA) as proof of identity. The only way to be sure of a web site's authenticity is to view their digital ID. In this way, you can be assured that you are not being "spoofed" or tricked by an imposter. The digital ID will contain information such as the name of the organization that owns the web site, the site's registered internet name/address, and the name of the Certification Authority under which the digital ID was issued. The method for viewing a web site's Digital Certificate/ID varies depending on the web browser. Please see your browser's "Help" information for instructions on how to verify a web site's identity.

** WARNING **

1 Analysis of 2016 and 2017 web respondent data indicated that the number of respondents who break off in the web exactly at the first topical question is small. Additionally, web survey breakoff points did not cluster around any one question in either the ECPP or PFI surveys. However, in NHES:2019, we plan to follow up with households that brake off right before the topical survey began in order to assess the cost-effectiveness of this follow-up operation within the sequential multi-mode survey design context.
