about how families use and think about child care for children under age 13. This study is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. Your participation in this study will help policy-makers and child care providers better understand and support the child care services that are most needed in your area.

This interview takes about an hour, and your participation is voluntary. You may choose not to answer any questions you don’t wish to answer, or end the interview at any time. We have systems in place to protect your identity and keep your responses private. There is only a small chance that your information could be accidentally disclosed. For that reason we avoid questions that could cause difficulty for you. This study also has a Federal Certificate of Confidentiality from the government which protects researchers and other staff from being forced to release information that could be used to identify participants in court proceedings. You should understand, however, that we would take necessary action to prevent serious harm to children, including reporting to authorities.



Data collected for this study will be used for statistical purposes only, so that no individuals or organizations can be identified directly or indirectly in research findings. Identifiers such as your name and addresses will be considered private and can only be accessed for the study’s research purposes by authorized personnel associated with this study.

These next questions are about how you view different types of childcare or after-school care for children of the same age as [SELECTED CHILD].

[Let’s start with center care. Examples of center care include preschools, Head Start, an after school program at school, or a child care center.

/Let us continue with relative or friend care, where a relative or close family friend cares for a child in the relative’s/friend’s home or the child’s home.

/Next let us think about family care, where an individual has a child care business in his or her own home and cares for a few or several children there.

/Last, let us talk about parental care, where the parents are the only care providers a child has.]

We are asking your permission to search state or local government records for child-care subsidy, Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (Food Stamps), TANF, WIC, Medicaid, or other programs that provide assistance to families. We would give the state agency basic information that identifies [CHILD NAME], and request that information about [his/her] participation in government programs be sent to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or its contractors, for study purposes only. Do we have your permission to do so?



  1. Yes GO TO H6

  2. No GO TO H3



H3.

(SUGGESTED SCRIPT) State or local government program records can provide additional information about the child care and financial assistance for care that a child and his/her family may be receiving. (IF NEEDED: For example, some pre-schools or after-school programs may be receiving government subsidies that parents are not aware of. These subsidies would be recorded in state program data on child care subsidies or such child care-related programs as Head Start or Universal Pre-Kindergarten.) NORC requests your permission to search child-care related government program records for information about your child or about the providers who serve your children. Even if your (child has/children have) not received subsidies or (has/have) never been in child care, it is still important for us to have your permission so that we can compare families like yours against those that do enroll in programs. We would not provide the state agency with any of the answers you’ve told me today, other than your name and the name(s) of your child/ren, and enough information to find them in state records.



All information about your child and your child’s care provider will be considered private and used for study purposes only. Any names of children, as well as any names of childcare providers, will not be used in reporting the study results. We will never release any information that may identify you or your child. The information will be reported in statistical form to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as part of the results of this study.
