12-Month Follow-Up Participant Survey (Attachment K)

Attachment K – 12-Month Follow-Up Participant Survey

^Introduction

Hello, my name is [ ]. May I please speak with _____?

IF RESPONDENT COMES TO THE PHONE: I’m calling on behalf of [BEES program].

IF PHONE OR IN-PERSON: I work for Abt Associates, or Abt, which is an independent research company. Abt is helping the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with its evaluation of the Building Evidence on Employment Strategies (BEES) study. We are conducting a survey with you because you agreed to be in a study about a program offered at [NAME OF ORGANIZATION] called [BEES program]. Thank you for taking the time to talk with me today.

This survey will include questions on your employment and education activities, your use of services, and your overall well-being. This survey will take about 30 minutes to complete. When we are done, we will send you a link to access a $25 gift card, as a thank you. 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 staff better understand how to help people get better jobs, earn more, and improve general well-being.

Before we begin the survey, I would like to assure you that all of your responses during this survey will be kept private; your name will not appear in any written reports we produce. Your responses to these questions are completely voluntary. That means you may choose not to answer any question, or you may stop the survey 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 studies about the different types of employment services that are the focus of this study. By participating in this study, you will help the government learn if and how programs like [BEES program] make a difference in people’s lives and how to improve programs in the future.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), this collection of information is voluntary and will be used to understand programs that aim to improve employment outcomes for low-income adults Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and reviewing the collection of information. 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 number and expiration date for this collection are OMB #: XXXX-XXXX, Exp: XX/XX/XXXX. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to Dan Bloom (MDRC); 200 Vesey Street, 23^rd Floor, New York, NY 10281-2103.

Do you have any questions before we begin?
