Reviewer Notes
Defining text substitutions
Throughout the instrument, there are places where the CAPI software will insert text to customize the question for the respondent. A couple of key text inserts are defined here:
[RAD]: This is the random assignment date for all participants. The random assignment date indicates the date that the person became a participant in the CCCA Evaluation.
[PROVIDER]: This is the fill variable used in all of the questions in Section B. It is derived from the name provided in a (B4a).
[PROGRAM NAME]: This is the fill variable used in all of the questions in Section B. It is derived from the name provided in a school/training spell (B4b).
[EMPLOYER NAME]: This is the fill variable used in questions in Section C. It is derived from the name provided in a employment spell (C2).
General notes:
CAPI notes, which begin with CAPI: are instructions for the programmers. They are noted in bold font and the skip logic for CAPI is noted with numeric values, for example: CAPI: IF B2≠6 SKIP TO B7.
Refused and Don’t Know responses are valued at -2 and -1 if the field is numeric; otherwise the values are 97 and 98. For example, in a yes, no, refused, don’t know response set, refused and don’t know have values of 97 and 98. If the question asks for total hours worked, refused and don’t know would be -2 and -1 respectively.
Note for OMB Review: Grey text boxes provide explanations on question order and section structure. Interviewers will not see these boxes. They will only be visible to instrument reviewers. |

Introduction
Hello, my name is [ ]. May I please speak with _____?
IF RESPONDENT COMES TO THE PHONE: I’m calling on behalf of the Job Corps Cascades College and Career Academy Pilot Evaluation.
IF PHONE OR IN-PERSON: I work for Abt Associates, or Abt, an independent research company. Abt is helping the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) with its evaluation of the Job Corps Cascades College and Career Academy program. We are conducting interviews with people like you who agreed to be in a study. Thank you for taking the time to talk with me today.
This interview will include questions on your employment and education activities, your use of services, and your overall well-being, including questions about your participation in some risky or illegal behaviors. This interview will take about 30 minutes to complete. When we are done, we will send you a $25 gift card as a token of appreciation. You agreed to be part of the study around [RAD] when you signed a consent form to let researchers collect information from you. We need to talk with people who got into the program and those who did not. Your participation in this study will help policymakers and program operators better understand how to help people attain educational credentials and find and keep jobs.
Before we begin the survey, I would like to assure you that all of your responses on this survey will be kept private; your name will not appear in any written reports we produce. As a reminder, we have a Certificate of Confidentiality to protect your data from subpoena. Your responses to these questions are completely voluntary. That means you may choose not to answer any question, or you may stop the interview if you wish, but we hope you don’t. Your responses to these questions will in no way affect your participation in any programs or your receipt of any kinds of public benefits or services. The information you provide will be kept private and only used for this study. By participating in this study, you will help the government learn if and how programs like Job Corps Cascades College and Career Academy make a difference in people’s lives and how to improve programs in the future.
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this collection is 1290-0012 and it expires xx/xx/xxxx. If you have comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, please send them to U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Policy Development and Research, Room N-5641, Washington, D.C. 20210. Attn: OMB-PRA 1290-0012.
Do you have any questions before we begin?
Let’s begin now.

B. Training and Education
To start, I would like to discuss the types of classes, courses, or training you have participated in since [RAD], either through Job Corps or from schools and other training providers you found on your own.

I am now going to ask you a few questions about the program/programs you attended. Please tell us only about the programs you attended, not each class. For example, if classes were held over multiple sessions or at different locations or schools as part of a program you attended, please count that as one program. Please include all programs that you started, even if you did not complete them. If you don’t know the exact information, your best guess is fine.
NOTE: Questions B3a through B13b will be asked for each of the following types of programs attended, where providers differ:
For the sake of brevity, in this document we do not repeat the questions for each type of program, but instances where questions vary by program type are noted. The set of questions will only be asked of those respondents who reported that they participated in at least one ABE/GED program, college courses for credit, or vocational training program. |
CAPI: IF B1a =1 or B2b = 1 PULL IN “high school diploma program, GED program, or education program for improving reading and math skills” for [TYPE OF PROGRAM]; ASK B3a-B13b; CHECK FOR NEXT PROGRAM TYPE.

B3b. Please tell me the name(s) the program or programs you took at [FILL NAME OF PROVIDER IN B3a ONE/TWO/THREE/FOUR/FIVE]. Please note, I am asking about the name of the overall program you were enrolled in, not the name of the individual classes you may have taken as part of the program.

REVISED PROGRAM NAME: ___________________________________________
Which program names from B3b should we replace with this new name?
