NISVS Redesign CATI Cognitive Protocol – Round 1
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for taking the time to help us today. The session will take approximately an hour. I’ll give you a little background on what we’ll be doing today.
Westat is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We are developing a national survey about health and injuries that asks questions about physical injuries, harassing behaviors, and unwanted sexual activity and today we would like to test parts of the questionnaire with you. I will act as a telephone interviewer and will ask you some of the survey questions. Every now and then we will stop to talk about the questions. The survey asks about different types of experiences that you may have had. We are particularly interested in whether the questions make sense to you, and we might ask you to talk about what happened during these experiences and how you decided on your answers to the survey questions based on those experiences.
Some of the language in the survey is explicit, but it is important that we ask the questions this way so that you are clear about what we mean. The questions we ask are detailed and some people may find them uncomfortable.
As I ask you the questions, if anything is confusing for you, or if you’re not sure how to answer a question or are unsure what to do, just tell me. There are no right or wrong answers. Our purpose is not to compile information about you. Instead, your interview along with those of others will show us how to improve these questions for a later survey.
This is a research project and your participation is voluntary. You can skip any question and you can stop at any point. There are no known benefits for you to take part in this study, but your answers will help us improve the survey. There is a risk that some of the questions that we will ask you to talk about are about private and sensitive things that may bother you. If you become upset during the interview or want to stop the interview at any time, please let me know. I will provide you with a list of resources at the end of the interview that you can use to help you.
We would very much appreciate your permission to audio and video record this session. The recordings will be used for note-taking purposes only and may be used only by members of the project or the CDC staff. They will be destroyed as soon as we complete the questionnaire development process. You will receive $40 cash as a token of our appreciation at the end of the interview.
All information obtained during this study will be treated as confidential, as required by law, and will only be used to develop and improve the questionnaire. We will not share your answers with anyone outside of the research team. The one exception is that if you express that you are a danger to yourself or to others. If that happens, in order to help protect your safety and the safety of others, we would report this to the appropriate healthcare or law enforcement agencies.
Your answers to the questions will not be linked with your name and we will not use your name in any reports. We may use quotes in our report that you provide during the interview, but never in a way that would identify you.
[IF OBSERVERS ARE PRESENT OR ON WEBEX] {Finally, some of the researchers developing the questions are observing our interview to learn if there are things that might need to be changed.}
INFORMED CONSENT
ASK PARTICIPANT TO REVIEW THE CONSENT FORM, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND OBTAIN CONSENT BEFORE CONTINUING. This form contains more information about the research and your rights in this interview.

[START AUDIO RECORDER AND BEGIN RECORDING ON WEBEX AND GET ORAL PERMISSION TO RECORD.] It is [DATE AND TIME], do I have your permission to record this conversation? ~~~~Thank you.
Do you have any questions before we get started? As I said before, I’m going to start asking you questions from the survey, and every now and then we will stop to talk about the questions and the answers you gave.

OK, let’s pause here to talk about the questions I just asked.
Were any of these questions uncomfortable for you to answer? (If so, which ones and what made them uncomfortable?)
Were any of these questions unclear for you to answer? (If so, which ones and what made them unclear or confusing?) |
|
How do you feel about being asked these questions at the beginning of the survey?
In what ways, if any, does being asked those questions affect your willingness to continue with the survey? |
|
In one of the items, I asked if you have ever been told by a doctor, nurse, or other health professional that you had “any type of depression.” What do you think is meant by “any type of depression”? |
|
I asked you “Have you ever, even once, taken any prescription pain medicine (like OxyContin, Vicodin, Lortab, or Percocet) without a prescription or differently than how a doctor told you to use it.” What types of situations do you think this is asking about? IF YES: What made you say “yes” to this question? |
|
The last question I asked was if you have ever attempted suicide. How did you feel about being asked that question?
We’re trying to decide if we need to add a question before that which asks if you ever thought about suicide. Do you think we need to add that question? |
|
OK, now we will continue with the survey. |

(ST_INTRO)
I’m going to ask you some detailed questions about times in your life when someone may have ever given you unwanted attention by repeatedly contacting you, following you, or harassing you.

a family member, a friend, teacher, co-worker or supervisor, or someone you have known briefly.
Please DO NOT include bill collectors, telephone solicitors, other sales people, or others following or contacting you as part of their job.

I’m going to ask you some detailed questions about times in your life when you may have ever experienced unwanted sexual situations with anyone, including strangers or someone you knew such as a romantic or sexual partner, a family member, a friend, teacher, co-worker or supervisor, or someone you have known for only a short time. These questions are detailed and the language is explicit, which some people may find upsetting. It is important that I ask the questions this way so that you understand what I mean. Your answers will help us to learn how often these things happen. You can skip questions you don’t want to answer and you can stop at any time.
First, I’m going to ask you about unwanted sexual situations, including verbal harassment and unwanted touching.

SC01: Earlier I asked you “In your lifetime, how many people in your WORKPLACE made unwanted sexual remarks, sexual jokes, or offensive comments about your body or appearance? Please include people you work with or come into contact with you through your job.” What do you think of when you hear the word “workplace”? |
|
SCO1: What do you think is meant by “Please include people you work with or come into contact with through your job.” |
|
SC01: We’re hoping to understand how people interpret the idea of something happening in a workplace. So I’m going to ask you a few different situations to see what you think. In your opinion, is this question asking about situations when someone from a workplace did or said something outside of the workplace? Like if you were at a happy hour with co-workers, or if you were at an offsite meeting or worksite? [REPEAT SC01 IF NECESSARY] |
|
SC01: What about situations when someone who doesn’t work in your workplace did something while at your workplace? Like if a friend or boyfriend or a co-worker’s friend or boyfriend came to visit and did something like this while at your place of work? [REPEAT SC01 IF NECESSARY] |
|
SC01: And do you think this would include situations when you were at work but the workplace is a client’s resident or office (such as when you were fixing a client’s internet connection at the client’s office or home, or when you were providing a health care visit at the patient’s home)? [REPEAT SC01 IF NECESSARY] |

SC03: I also asked you “While you were in a PUBLIC place, how many people have ever verbally harassed you in a sexual way that made you feel uncomfortable?” What types of situations do you think this is asking about? (IF NEEDED: What do you think is meant by “a public place”?) |
|
SC03: (IF YES) What made you say yes to this question? |

SC05/SC06: Then I asked how many people ever “kissed you in a sexual way when you did not want it to happen?” and how many had “fondled, groped, grabbed, or touched you in a sexual way when you did not want it to happen?” Was there anything confusing about either of these two questions? |

Sometimes unwanted sex happens after a person is pressured into it, such as through verbal and emotional pressure and other nonphysical kinds of pressure. The following questions are about times in your life when someone may have ever used verbal or other nonphysical pressure to make you have sex when you didn’t want to. This could be anyone, including strangers or someone you knew such as a romantic or sexual partner, a family member, a friend, teacher, co-worker or supervisor, or someone you have known for only a short time.

In this section I will ask you about situations in your life in which you ever experienced unwanted sex or sexual contact. By this I mean sexual contact that you did not consent to and that you did not want to happen.
Sometimes unwanted sex or sexual contact happens when a person is unable to consent to it or stop it from happening because they are too drunk, high, drugged, or passed out from alcohol, drugs, or medications. This can include times when they voluntarily consumed alcohol or drugs or times when they were given alcohol or drugs without their knowledge or consent. Please remember that even if someone uses alcohol or drugs, what happens to them is not their fault.

Some people are threatened with harm or physically forced to have sex or sexual contact when they don’t want to. Examples of physical force are being pinned or held down, using violence or threats of violence, or not physically stopping after you said no. To be clear, the next questions are asking only about times in your life when sex was unwanted and you did not give consent.

The next questions ask about experiences you may have had in your life with your romantic or sexual partners. When I ask about your romantic or sexual partners, I want you to think about people you have been involved with romantically or sexually, which might include spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, people you have dated, people you were seeing, or people you hooked up with.

A concussion is when a blow to the head caused you to have one or more symptoms such as blurred or double vision, sensitivity to light or noise, headaches, dizziness or balance problems, nausea, being dazed or confused, difficulty remembering, difficulty concentrating, or being knocked out. Did you ever experience a concussion because of what a current or ex partner did to you? {IF NECESSARY: Do not include situations where you were hurt accidentally.} |

Did you consider this definition when you were answering the question? |

DEBRIEFING
General – ASK PROBES AS NEEDED (IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED)
Now that you’ve worked through the questionnaire, what are your overall thoughts on it?
|
|
We are interested in whether any of the questions might be too sensitive to ask people. Were there any that you felt particularly uncomfortable answering?
IF YES: What make you uncomfortable? (PROBE to find out if it was the explicit language, vs. recalling your memories, vs something else?) |
|
We’re also concerned that people might not be honest in answering the questions to an interviewer. Without being too specific, were there any questions where you thought about not giving the true answer?
IF YES: Can you tell me more about what made you think about not giving the true answer? |
|
Overall, what could we do to make the survey easier to take? |
|
One thing we are wondering is if the questions are too wordy. What did you think about the way the questions were worded? |
|
We are also wondering if you thought any of the questions seemed repetitive? (IF YES, What seemed repetitive to you?) |
|
Are there other things we could do to make it easier? |
|
Do you have any other thoughts for me on your experiences completing the survey? |
|
Closing and Incentive
Those are all the questions I have for you. Is there anything we haven't discussed that you would like to mention?
DISCUSS ANY RESPONDENT COMMENTS.
STOP RECORDER.
Before we finish, I just want to make sure you’re doing ok. (REFER TO DISTRESS PROTOCOL IF NEEDED).
Here is some contact information for local and national organizations that you can call if you want to talk about any feelings or emotions you experience. (HAND RESOURCE LIST TO R)
Thank you for your time.
GIVE INCENTIVE AND HAVE RESPONDENT SIGN RECEIPT.
