Questionnaire overview:

This survey instrument has eight sections. The content of each section is as follows:

Section A: training experiences and employment history from the point of random assignment through the interview date.

Section B: school experiences.

Section C: credentials.

Section D: current (or most recent) employment.

Section E: household composition.

Section F: income and financial well-being.

Section G: 21^st century and cognitive skills.

Section H: parent report on child outcomes

Section I: respondent and secondary contact information.

Section J: 21^st century literacy and numeracy skills assessment

Defining activity spells

Section A captures data about all education and labor activities from the month and year of last interview (see [MYLI] definition below). Each activity is captured as a “spell”. A spell defines a participant’s activity (going to school or working at a job), at a particular place, during a particular period of time. There are “main spells” which capture the primary activity during a particular period of time. The anchor point for people interviewed at 15 months will be the date of that interview. The anchor point for people not interviewed at 15 months will be the date of randomization. A main spell can be either a job spell or a school spell. Spell 1 will usually be the primary activity at the anchor point, whether it is a job spell or school spell. Spell 2 will be the spell for the first activity after the anchor point who was not working or attending classes at the anchor point. If we have a spell 1, spell 2 will be inapplicable and vice versa. Spells 3-X will represent the “next job or school activity”. If a respondent to the Short-term (15-month) Follow-up Survey had a spell that was still current at the time of that interview—what is referred to as an “open spell”—then the spells work a little differently. If there was just one open spell at 15 months, Spell 1 will be pre-filled to continue that spell. If there are two spells, Spell 1 would be prefilled with information on the first open job spell from the prior interview and Spell 3 would be pre-filled with the information from the second open spell—whether it was a job or school spell. If the respondent had three open spells, Spell 1 would be prefilled with the information on the first open job spell, the subspell module would be prefilled with the information from the second open job spell, and Spell 3 would be prefilled with information on the open school spell.

There are also “subspells.” The subspell module allows us to capture up to two jobs within or overlapping a main school spell, two school spells within or overlapping a main job spell, and two side jobs within or overlapping a main job spell. It does not attempt to capture school spells that are within or overlap a main school spell.

The interview flow involves taking each respondent through his/her training and employment history twice. First, the system collects the spell history (dates, whether work or school, and place names). We refer to this as the “scaffolding.” Once the scaffolding has been built, the interview will systematically collect more information about each training spell. There are three motivations for this two-pass approach.

We think that starting from last interview or day of randomization and asking about all activities going forward results in less underreporting of early training experiences. We know from similar evaluations in the past that worked backward in time from the date of interview, asking only about training experiences resulted in substantial underreporting of training receipt.
By asking the respondent to focus on one type of information at a time, we hope to get data that are more consistent across spells.
This approach allows for more straight-forward programming.

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:

[15MONTH_RESPONDER]: Indicates whether the respondent completed a 15-month interview or not.

[JOBNAME15]: Indicates the employer name for the first open job spell at the 15-month interview.

[JOBNAME15_2]: Indicates the employer name for the second open job spell at the 15-month interview.

SCHOOLNAME15]: Indicates the school name for the first open school spell at the 15-month interview.

[C2READALOUDCOUNT]: Indicates the number of academic degrees or diplomas reported in the 15-month survey.

[C2REALOUDN1,…C2READALOUNDN7]: Indicates the list of academic degrees or diplomas the respondent reported in the 15-month survey.

[C3READALOUDCOUNT]: Indicates the number of vocational certificates reported in the 15-month survey.

[C3REALOUDN1,…C3READALOUNDN7]: Indicates the list of vocational certificates the respondent reported in the 15-month survey.

[C4READALOUDCOUNT]: Indicates the number of industry licenses or professional certifications reported in the 15-month survey.

[C4REALOUDN1,…C4READALOUNDN7]: Indicates the list of industry licenses or professional certifications the respondent reported in the 15-month survey.

[MYLI]: For those who responded to the 15-month follow-up survey, the reference point is month and year of their 15-month interview date. If the participant did not respond to the 15-month follow-up, the reference point is the month and year of random assignment.

[SCHOOLNAME]: This is the fill variable used in all of the questions in Section B, School Experiences. It is derived either from the name provided in a main school spell (A8) or a school subspell (A22).

[STARTDATE]: This is the fill variable used in all of the questions in Section B, School Experiences. It is derived from either the start date provided in a main school spell (A9) or a school subspell (A23).

[STOPDATE]: This is the fill variable used in all of the questions in Section B, School Experiences. It is derived from either the stop date provided in a main school spell (A10) or a school subspell (A24).

[EMPLOYER]: Section G refers to the current or most recent employer identified in the spell scaffolding. Throughout Section G, [EMPLOYER] is either the name of the employer or ‘for yourself’ if the respondent is self-employed. If the respondent is currently employed, Section G CAPI will present questions about the current job in present tense, if the respondent is not currently employed, CAPI will present questions about the most recent job in Section G in past tense.

[JOBCOUNT]: JOBCOUNT is a variable that increases incrementally each time a new job spell is identified. It is used to determine the current or most recent job.

[SCHOOLCOUNT]: SCHOOLCOUNT is a variable that increases incrementally each time a new school spell is identified. It is used to determine how many School Experience (Section B) loops the respondent should be asked.

[CURRENTSPELL]: A spell is current if A9_X=Still employed/self-employed OR still taking classes (A9_x=6).

[CLOSEDSPELL]: A spell is closed if A9_X≠Still employed/self-employed OR still taking classes (A9_x≠6 OR A9_X≠8).

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 7 and 8 or 97 and 98 depending on how many other precoded responses there are. For example, in a yes, no, refused, don’t know response set, refused and don’t know have values of 7 and 8. If the question asks for total hours worked, refused and don’t know values would be -2 and -1 respectively. If the question asked about highest grade obtained, there would be more than 6 responses—thus, the refused and don’t know values would become two-digit values of 97 and 98 respectively.

Plain text descriptions of who is asked each question are noted in bold font in orange text boxes. Sample skip logic for plain text descriptions is: Ask B6 if they were self-employed (B2=Self-employed).

Introduction

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

I work for Abt Associates, or Abt, which is an independent research company. Abt is helping the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services with its evaluation of the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) Program. We are conducting interviews with people like you who agreed to be in a study about a program offered at [NAME OF ORGANIZATION] called [PROGRAM NAME]. 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. After that, we will update your contact information and then ask you a short set of multiple choice questions on a variety of everyday topics. This interview will take about 55 minutes to complete. When we are done, we will send you a link to access a $45 gift certificate to a store of your choice, to thank you. You agreed to be part of the study around [MYLI] 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. 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 studies about the different types of education and employment trainings and services that are the focus of this study. By participating in this study, you will help the government learn if and how programs like [PROGRAM NAME] 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 without approval from the Office of Management and Budget or OMB. This approval is called an OMB control number. The OMB control number for this collection is 0970-0462 and it expires July 31, 2022. If you have comments regarding estimated survey length or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the length of the survey, please send them to Gretchen Locke, Abt Associates, Inc., 10 Fawcett St Cambridge, MA 02138; Attn: OMB-PRA 0970-0462. Do you have any questions before we begin?

Let’s begin now.

Screener/Verification:

First I just need to verify that I am speaking with the correct person.

Read the following text and ask Q1 of everyone.

What is your date of birth? ___________ (MM/DD/YYYY)

INTERVIEWER: ENTER DATE USING FORMAT BELOW.

CATI/CAPI NOTE: DISPLAY DOB

Respondent’s Birthday: ________ / ________ / ____________

<SC1_MM>, <SC1_DD>, <SC1_YY> MM DD YYYY

<SC1_REF> REFUSED  ₇

<SC1_DK> DON’T KNOW  ₈

Ask Q2 only if the DOB in Q1 does not match what is in our records.

CATI/CAPI: IF DOB AGREES WITH THE BIRTH DATE ON THE FILE, SKIP TO B1. ELSE, CONTINUE.

What are the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number?

INTERVIEWER – ENTER LAST 4 DIGITS OF SSN CATI/CAPI NOTE: DISPLAY LAST 4 DIGITS SSN

<SC2_4SSN> RECORD LAST 4 DIGITS: ___ ___ ___ ___

<SC2_REF> REFUSED q ₇

<SC2_DK> DON’T KNOW q ₈

CATI/CAPI: IF THE 4 DIGITS GIVEN BY RESPONDENT AGREE WITH THE NUMBER ON THE FILE, SKIP TO A1.

IF SSN IS MISSING IN THE SAMPLE OR IS A MISMATCH WITH WHAT IS ENTERED AND THERE IS A MISMATCH IN DOB, DISPLAY DISCONTINUED TEXT:

DISCONTINUED TEXT: I’m sorry. I was unable to pull up the correct questionnaire. I will need to check with my supervisor to look into the problem. I will re-contact you when the problem is resolved. Thank you for your time.

Training and employment history

Our general approach to collecting this history is to build on the information the respondent provided at 15 months. If the respondent last reported open work or school spells, we will go back to determine when these spells ended and then pick up their history from there. On the other hand, if the respondent last reported neither working nor going to school, then we will ask about such activities that may have commenced since we last spoke with them. For a third group of study subjects – people we were unable to interview at 15 months – we will take them back to the date of randomization and collect a full history from that point forward. In order to reduce burden on the respondent and simplify programming, we will only return to collect information on a maximum of two open spells from the prior interview. We think it will be rare that people will be going to school and working two jobs at the same time. For those few, we will ask only about the two main spells and then impute spell end dates in post-processing for the third open spell. As it is, programming of this section will be complex and full specification details are not shown.

I’d like to get a general idea of some of the things you may have done between [MYLI] and today. You may remember speaking with me or another interviewer from my company back on [MYLI].

CAPI:*IF 15 MONTH RESPONDER=NO OR 15 MONTH RESPONDER=YES BUT NO CURRENT WORK OR SCHOOL SPELL AT 15 MONTHS, SKIP TO A2.

CAPI:*IF 15 MONTH RESPONDER AND ONE OR MORE OPEN SPELLS AT 15 MONTHS ASK A1.

Ask A7-A25 of everyone that answered yes they have worked for pay or taken classes since [MYLI] (A1=WORKING FOR PAY, ATTENDING CLASSES, BOTH OR A3=WORKED FOR PAY OR ATTENDED CLASSES, BOTH). (A1 OR A3=1, 2, OR 3)

Repeat A8-A21 for each main spell of work or school. The language for A8-A18 varies depending on the type of ‘spell’—whether it is a job or school spell. The language also differs whether it is the first spell (at the time of random assignment), the first spell (after random assignment), or a subsequent spell. There are as many as seven distinct wordings for each question.

Ask A22-A25 for subspells, that is, spells within spells.

The next set of questions asks about your work and training activities since [MYLI]. Before we start, I want to collect some information about the number of children you have in child care. This information will help to guide us through the interview. When I ask about child care, I mean the time that the children in your household spent in an early learning center, a daycare center, a nursery school, a preschool, or with a private babysitter or another care provider when you are not able to be with them. Child care also means time that your school-aged children spent in an after school program or with a private babysitter or other care providers when you could not be with them.

A7. During all of the times that you either worked at a job for pay or took classes since [MYLI],],

How many of your children under the age of 5 were ever in child care?

A20-A22 are asked when EITHER the respondent has brought their work and training history up to the date of interview OR a spell limit has been reached. To prevent very long interviews, the history is shortened if the respondent reports more than 7 job spells or 5 school spells. These questions are there to ensure that we always define the current or most recent job spell, as that is the focus of Section D.

If a new job or school spell is reported in A13 or A15 and the spell limit has not yet been reached, then the interview flow returns to A8 for the new spell (IF A13=2 OR 3 OR A15=1 OR A16=1 OR 3) AND JOBCOUNT<7 GO TO A8 JOB SPELL; IF (A13=1 OR 4 OR A15=2 OR A16=2 OR (A16=3 AND JOBCOUNT =7)) AND SCHOOLCOUNT<5 GO TO SCHOOLSEPELL 3-5).
If the spell limit has been reached but the respondent no longer has the most recently reported job, then interview flow continues with A20 (IF JOBCOUNT=7 AND (A10≠6 OR A10a≠6 OR A10c≠-3 GO TO A20) OR SCHOOLCOUNT=5).
If no new spells were reported in A13 or A15, but there is at least a four-month gap since the end of the last work or school spell, then interview flow continues with A21 (IF A15=4, 7, 8 AND ((CURRENT_DATE – A10_X DATE)>3 MONTHS) GO TO A21).
If no new spells were reported in A13 or A15, and there is less than a four-month gap since the end of the last work or school spell, then interview flow continues with B1 (IF A15=4, 7, 8 AND ((CURRENT_DATE-A10_X DATE)≤3 MONTHS) GO TO B1).

Subspell Module (spells that started within other spells)

Ask A22-A26 for every subspell. A subspell can be:

a second job that the respondent took while working a main job,
a job that the respondent took while going to school,
a school that the respondent started attending while working a main job,
the less important activity for a person who was both working and going to school at [MYLI],
the less important job for a person who was working multiple jobs at [MYLI], or
a job or school that is discovered during probing of a “gap” spell.

The language for A22-A25 varies depending on the type of ‘spell’ and the type of subspell.

If the subspell is a secondary job reported in A17 during a job spell and no other secondary jobs are reported, OR 2 secondary jobs were already reported, then interview flow returns to A18 to see if there was a secondary school spell during the main job.
If the subspell is a secondary job reported in A17 during a school spell and no other secondary jobs are reported, then interview flow returns to box before A19 to check for gaps.
If the subspell is a secondary school experience reported in A18 during a job spell and no other secondary schools are reported, then interview flow returns to box before A19 to check for gaps.
If the subspell is a secondary job school experience reported in A19 during a gap period, then interview flow returns to box before A20 to determine if there are additional main spells to collect information about or whether it is time to continue flow into Section B.

School Experiences

Questions in this section repeat for each school named in A8 or A22. If the school name was DK or refused, the program fills in “School_x” where x refers to the order in which schools were named. As short hand, [SCHOOLNAME] refers to the school name or filler. Also, [STARTDATE] and [STOPDATE] refer to the dates given in A9/A23 and A10/A24, respectively. If one of these dates was not provided, the clause containing the reference to the date will not be read. Schools will be presented in the same order that they were mentioned in the scaffolding. Applicability and wording of some questions depends on whether the spell is current, completed, or abandoned.

Certificates

The next set of questions asks about any certificates you may have earned. People sometimes earn certificates from an education or training program. An educational certificate is one that can be awarded by a training provider or an educational institution. An educational certificate is awarded based on completion of all course requirements. Educational certificates are different from professional certifications or state or industry licenses. Some people get both a certificate from a school or other training institute and a related license from the state.

As we go through this next set of questions, please answer only about school- and institute-based educational certificates you may have received since [MYLI]. Please do not include school issued diplomas or academic degrees you already told me about. Also, please do not include any professional certifications or state or industry licenses yet.

Once we are done with those questions we will send you an email with instructions to access the website where you can access your $45 gift certificate, to the store of your choice.

J. Numeracy and Literacy Skills Assessment

NOTE This module contains 11 numeracy and 11 literacy items. The items are arranged in three tranches: 3 easy items, 5 medium-difficulty items, and 3 hard items. Each person will only be asked the items in two tranches (8 items) from each battery. Items from the middle tranche will be asked first; performance on the middle tranche will determine whether they continue to the hard or easy tranche. The specific assessment items have been masked. This is standard practice with assessments, as publishing the items could risk their future utility.
