Sampling	53,000 cases Random assignment to condition	89,500 cases 51,250 lower-RP 38,250 higher-RP Random assignment to condition	53,000 cases Random assignment to condition	9,500 cases Random assignment to condition	For analysis: 26,500 cases in baseline condition 5,800 renters 20,700 non-renters Random assignment to condition [For operations: 102,500 cases, fully crossed with other experiments]
Mailing protocol	Web-push	Different protocol for lower- and higher-RP cohorts: Lower-RP: choice-plus Higher-RP: web-push (same as baseline condition)	Web-push (same as baseline condition, with addition of promised incentive mailing)	Web-push (same as baseline condition)	Web-push (same as baseline condition)
Wording of contact materials	All mailings use “Baseline” materials Same contact material wording for all cases in this condition	Different wording for lower- and higher-RP cohorts: Lower-RP: Nearly all contacts use “Choice” materials² (reminder calls and fifth mailing use baseline materials) Higher-RP: Baseline materials	Early mailings use “Early bird” materials³ Reminder calls and late mailings use Baseline materials Same contact material wording for all cases in this condition	All mailings use “Alternate” materials⁴ Same contact material wording for all cases in this condition	Different addressee line and salutation for renters and non-renters: Renters: Baseline materials (except for addressee line/ salutation) Non-renters: Baseline materials

Note: if a mailing method is not specified (ex: FedEx), it can be assumed that the mailing will be a regular First Class mailing.

¹ The targeted renter materials experiment will be fully crossed with all other NHES:2023 experiments—that is, half of all sample members in each condition will be assigned to the targeted renters materials condition. For the purposes of this table, we focus on the implementation of this experiment within the baseline condition, since that is the primary condition of interest for assessing the success of the experiment. However, for the purposes of data collection, the same logic would apply for all other conditions—that is, renters would receive materials “with tailoring” and non-renters would receive the standard materials for that condition. The “tailoring” will consist of docuprinting an alternate addressee line and salutation onto the materials. Other than this, the mailings will be identical to those sent to non-renters in that condition.

² The “choice” materials will offer web, paper, and inbound phone response options, as well as noting that the sample member will receive $20 for completing the survey by web or inbound telephone.

³The “early bird” materials will note that the sample member will receive $20 for completing the survey by a specified date. The early mailings are the advance letter, initial screener package, pressure-sealed envelope, and second screener package. The late mailings are the third, fourth, and fifth screener packages.

⁴ The “alternate” materials will be more explicit about how the purpose of the survey differs for households with children and households without children. The fifth mailing will consist of a postcard that includes the screener gate item that sample members will be asked to mail back with their response (it will not include web login credentials)

⁵ In most cases, the first reminder call should occur concurrently with the mailing date for the second screener package. However, for choice-plus cases within the targeted choice-plus condition, it should occur concurrently with the mailing date for the third screener package.

⁶ The choice-plus protocol within the targeted choice-plus condition will use FedEx at the third screener package, as in the NHES:2019 choice-plus protocol. Using FedEx at the second screener package would further increase the cost of the choice-plus mailings. The rationale for earlier FedEx mailings within a web-push protocol (pushing more respondents to the web) does not apply to choice-plus.

⁷The second reminder call should occur concurrently with the mailing date for the fifth screener mailing.

Exhibit 2. Overview of NHES:2023 topical design, by experimental condition

	Baseline Condition	Early Bird Incentive Condition	Targeted Choice-Plus Condition	Alternate Materials Condition	Targeted Renter Mailings Condition¹
Types of cases getting topical mailings²	Paper screener respondents: Screener completes by paper where a child was sampled for one of the topical surveys
Initial topical package	Cover letter and paper topical with $5 (early screener Rs)/$15 (late screener Rs) in full-size envelope (ECPP: NHES-21L, NHES-21LS; PFI: NHES-31L, NHES-31LS)
Reminder postcard	Reminder postcard (ECPP & PFI: 0939-22P, 0939-22PS)
Second topical package	Cover letter and paper topical in full-size envelope (ECPP: NHES-22L, NHES-22LS; PFI: NHES-32L, NHES-32LS)
Third topical package	FedEx mailing with cover letter and paper topical (ECPP: NHES-23L, NHES-23LS; PFI: NHES-33L, NHES-33LS)
Reminder call	Autocall concurrent with mailing date for third topical package
Fourth topical package	Cover letter and paper topical in full-size envelope (ECPP & PFI: NHES-24L, NHES-24LS)

¹The tailoring used in the screener phase will continue in the topical phase.

² There will not be any variation in the topical materials by experimental condition, other than continuing the screener-phase renter tailoring.

Authorization and Confidentiality of Information

The following text box will appear on the back of each single language (English or Spanish) letter with the corresponding language. Bilingual letters will include this text box on the bottom of the letter with the corresponding language. For example, an English letter will have an English authorization and confidentiality text box. On all reminder postcards and pressure-sealed envelopes the authorization and confidentiality language will be on the bottom of the mailer on the side that includes the text provided in this document. Note that depending on location of the text box on each letter the font size could vary but will be readable.

La Oficina del Censo de los EE. UU., en nombre del Departamento de Educación de los EE. UU., realiza esta encuesta en los hogares cada ciertos años para recopilar información sobre las actividades de aprendizaje que se llevan a cabo fuera de las escuelas.

Qué debe esperar próximamente:

Dentro de unos días, recibirá de nuestra parte una invitación por correo postal para completar la encuesta.
La encuesta puede ser respondida en casa por un adulto del hogar.
Si no hay niños o jóvenes de 20 años o menos en su hogar, le llevará unos 3 minutos completarla. Si hay niños en su hogar, le llevará unos 30 minutos completarla porque le haremos preguntas acerca de uno de los niños en el hogar.
Como muestra de nuestro agradecimiento, incluiremos $5 por su participación. ¡Los recibirá en nuestro próximo envío por correo!

Si desea recibir más información, visite nces.ed.gov/nhes/ (en inglés) o comuníquese con nosotros llamando al número gratuito 1-888-840-8353.

Le agradecemos de antemano por su ayuda con esta importante encuesta.

Initial screener package letters

The letters accompanying the initial screener packages represent the first formal invitation sampled households receive to complete the survey.

All households in NHES:2023 will be asked to complete the web survey with the first screener package mailing. Among those households, most will receive NHES-11L(B). Households in areas with a high concentration of Spanish-speaking residents will receive the bilingual NHES-11LB(B).

The NHES:2023 design includes a “targeted choice-plus” experiment, in which lower propensity cases will receive a treatment whereby they have the choice of responding by web, paper, or phone; however, because web and phone responses are preferred, those response modes will be incentivized by an additional promised incentive. The first screener package mailing for lower response propensity households will be the English-version NHES-11L(CP), or the bilingual NHES-11LB(CP) for addresses flagged for bilingual mailing. Those sampled for the “targeted choice-plus” experiment group but not predicted to be lower propensity cases will receive the English NHES-11L(B) or the bilingual NHES-11LB(B) noted above.

Another experiment, the “early bird incentive” experiment, will test the utility of a promised $20 incentive contingent on response by a specified deadline, within a web-push protocol. Households sampled for this experiment will receive either the English NHES-11L(EB) or the bilingual NHES-11LB(EB).

Finally, the “alternate contact” experiment will attempt to increase response rates (for both households with and without children) by being more explicit in the screener materials about how the purpose and nature of the data collection differs depending on whether there are children in the household. In addition to receiving different communication letters, the test cases in this experiment will also receive an “opt-out” paper screener that has the gate question asking whether the household has children on the cover of the screener. The letter these cases will receive in the first screener mailing are the English-language NHES-11L(AC) or the bilingual NHES-11LB(AC).

Screener pressure-sealed envelope

NHES has long utilized reminder/thank you postcards. These postcards are sent to all sample members and are intended to boost the impact of the initial screener packages. When NHES was exclusively paper mode in 2012 and 2016, paper postcards were sent. Starting with the NHES:2017 web test and the NHES:2019, pressure-sealed envelopes, which are folded postcards with tear-off tabs, have been used so that the postcards can include respondents’ unique and confidential web survey log-in credentials.

Cases in the baseline condition will receive either the English or bilingual pressure-sealed envelope (0939-12P(B) or 0939-12PB(B), respectively). In addition, those sampled for the “targeted choice-plus” experiment but not predicted to be lower-propensity cases will also receive these materials.

Different pressure-sealed envelopes will be used for the experimental groups:

the “targeted choice-plus” experiment and predicted to be low propensity cases will receive either the English or bilingual pressure-sealed envelopes (0939-12P(CP) or 0939-12PB(CP)) that highlight the promised $20 incentive for web or phone completion,
the “early bird incentive” experiment group will receive either the English or bilingual pressure-sealed envelope (0939-12P(EB) or 0939-12PB(EB)) that remind them of the promised incentive for completion by the deadline and,
the “alternate contact” experiment cases will receive either the English or bilingual pressure-sealed envelopes (0939-12P(AC) or 0939-12PB(AC)) that communicates expectation for households with or without children.

First screener reminder calls

Address information can be matched to phone numbers for more than half of the addresses in the NHES sample. Automated calls to these phone numbers are theorized to boost the impact of the FedEx package, which will be utilized for most second screener mailings (except for the cases receiving the choice-plus treatment that will receive the third screener mailing via FedEx). Below, the text of those robocall messages is provided for households about to receive a FedEx package. All households except those assigned to the “alternate contact” experiment will receive the same message; the message in the “alternate contact” experiment includes additional language that explains how both households with and without children should respond.

Pre-FedEx mailing reminder call all except alternate contact (baseline)

Pre-FedEx mailing reminder call alternate contact

Hello, this is the U.S. Census Bureau, calling on behalf of the National Household Education Survey. Thank you for receiving our earlier mailings. We know you are busy, but your response is vital to the success of our study about children’s care and education. Keep a lookout for our next mailing. It will be sent by FedEx. The mailing will have directions about how to let us know whether or not there are children in your household. We still want to hear from you even if there are no children. We thank you in advance for your help with this important national study.

Second screener package letters

Except for the lower-propensity cases in the “targeted choice-plus” experiment group, NHES:2023 sample members will receive the second screener packages via FedEx. Hence, both the English and bilingual letters in this mailing emphasize the rush delivery method.

Cases in the baseline condition will receive either the English or bilingual letter (NHES12-L(B) or NHES12-LB(B), respectively). In addition, those sampled for the “targeted choice-plus” experiment but not predicted to be lower-propensity cases will also receive these materials. Lower-propensity cases in the choice-plus treatment will be mailed English or bilingual letters (NHES12-L(CP) or NHES12-LB(CP), respectively) that will again emphasize the promised incentive for respondents who choose to complete the survey by web or phone.

Households that are part of the “early bird incentive” experiment group will also receive either the English or bilingual letter (NHES12-L(EB) or NHES12-LB(EB), respectively) that highlight the promised incentive for respondents who choose to respond by the cut-off date; this is the last letter these cases receive before the cut-off date, and thus the last letter that mentions the promised incentive.

Finally, households in the alternate contact condition will receive the English or bilingual letter (NHES12-L(AC) or NHES12-LB(AC), respectively) that explicitly communicates the difference in the nature of the data collection depending on whether there are children in the household.

Third screener package letters

If a sample member has not yet responded to the NHES survey after the second screener mailing, a third screener package will be sent. All households that have not responded will receive a paper survey at this stage of NHES:2023. For cases in the baseline condition, the third package will include the English NHES-13L(B) or the bilingual NHES-13LB(B). In addition, those sampled for the “targeted choice-plus” experiment but not predicted to be lower-propensity cases and those sampled for the “early bird incentive” experiment will also receive these materials.

Lower-propensity cases receiving the choice-plus treatment will be mailed English or bilingual letters (NHES-13L(CP) or NHES-13LB(CP), respectively) that will continue to emphasize the promised incentive for respondents who choose to complete the survey by web or phone. However, unlike the third screener package for all other cases, these packages will be sent via FedEx emphasizing the rush delivery.

Finally, addresses in the “alternate contact” experiment group will receive the “opt-out” screener in this package; the accompanying letters (NHES-13L(AC) and NHES-13LB(AC)) will tell the respondent how to complete the survey if there are no children in the household.

Fourth screener package letters

If a sample member has not responded to the NHES survey after the third screener mailing, a fourth screener package will be sent. All households that have not responded will receive a paper survey at this stage of NHES:2023. For cases in the baseline condition, the fourth package will include the English NHES-14L(B) or the bilingual NHES-14LB(B). In addition, those sampled for the “targeted choice-plus” experiment but not predicted to be lower-propensity cases and those sampled for the “early bird incentive” experiment will also receive these materials.

Lower-propensity cases receiving the choice-plus treatment will be mailed English or bilingual letters (NHES14-L(CP) or NHES14-LB(CP), respectively) that will continue to emphasize the promised incentive for respondents who choose to complete the survey by web or phone.

Finally, addresses in the “alternate contact” experiment group will receive the “opt-out” screener in this package; the accompanying letters (NHES-14L(AC) and NHES-14LB(AC)) will tell the respondent how to complete the survey if there are no children in the household.

Dear <Addressee Line>:

I am personally writing to request only a few minutes of your time to help with the National Household Education Survey. Whether your household is large or small, has children or not, your response is needed to provide the best possible data about education in America. If there are no children or youth age 20 or younger in your household, you just need to answer ONE question. If there are children in your household, you will answer a few additional questions. For most people, it takes 3 minutes or less to complete the survey.

If you have any questions or would like to complete the survey with an interviewer, please give us a call toll-free at 1–888–840–8353. Answers to commonly asked questions about the survey are included in this mailing. Please respond as soon as possible.

Second screener reminder calls

In addition to the first screener reminder calls, NHES:2023 will also use a second screener reminder call. This call will be made concurrently with the mailing date for the fifth mailing. The text for these robocall messages is provided below. All households except those assigned to the “alternate contact” experiment will receive the same message; the message for cases in the “alternate contact” experiment include additional language that explains how both households with and without children should respond.

Pre-Fifth mailing reminder call all except alternate contact (baseline)

Hello, this is the U.S. Census Bureau, calling on behalf of the National Household Education Survey. Thank you for receiving our earlier mailings. We still have not heard from you. We know you are busy, but your response is vital to the success of our study about children’s care and education. We are about to send you a mailing with your last chance to respond. We thank you in advance for your help with this important national study.

We know you are busy, but your response is vital to the success of our study about children’s care and education. We are about to send you a mailing with your last chance to respond. The mailing will have directions about how to let us know whether or not there are children in your household. We still want to hear from you even if there are no children. We thank you in advance for your help with this important national study.

Fifth screener mailing postcards

Unlike previous administrations, NHES:2023 will include a fifth “last ditch attempt” thank you/reminder. Among households that have not responded at this point, most households will receive a bilingual postcard that includes web login information and a QR code so that sample members can respond online (NHES-15PB(B)). The bilingual postcard for households assigned to the “alternate contact” experiment will include the screener gate item that asks whether children or youth age 20 or younger live in the household (NHES-15PB(A)). These “alternate contact” respondents will be asked to mark their responses and mail back the postcard using a prepaid envelope.

Initial ECPP topical package letters

If at any point during the screener period a respondent completes the NHES screener by web, a sample member (child) is chosen “on the fly” and the respondent is asked to answer additional questions about the sampled child. In other words, web screener respondents immediately become topical web respondents and no further follow-up is needed. In addition, screener respondents who were sampled to receive the ECPP topical but who did not respond to any ECPP topical items will not receive any follow-up. This section provides the cover letters that will be placed on top of the ECPP topical surveys for households in which a screener was returned by mail and an eligible ECPP child (birth to 6 years old but not yet in kindergarten) could be sampled.

For all experiment groups, if a paper screener was returned in English, the respondent will receive NHES-21L. If a paper screener was returned in Spanish, the respondent will receive NHES-21LS.

Initial PFI topical package letters

If at any point during the screener period a respondent completes the NHES screener by web, a sample member (child) is chosen “on the fly” and the respondent is asked to answer additional questions about the sampled child. In other words, web screener respondents immediately become topical web respondents and no further follow-up is needed. In addition, screener respondents who were sampled to receive the PFI topical but who did not respond to any PFI topical items will not receive any follow-up. This section provides the cover letters that will be placed on top of PFI topical surveys for households in which a screener was returned by mail and an eligible PFI child (age 20 years or younger and in grades kindergarten through 12) could be sampled.

If a paper screener was returned in English, the respondent will receive NHES-31L. If a paper screener was returned in Spanish, the respondent will receive NHES-31LS.

Telephone Questionnaire Assistance Phone script

The Census Bureau’s toll-free telephone line will be staffed with English-speaking and bilingual operators from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm EST every day during the NHES:2023 data collection period. These operators will be able to answer questions about NHES, check on the status of a submission, and also complete the interview with the respondent. In order to complete the interview, the operator will use the same web survey instrument that the respondent would use if the respondent completed it online him- or herself. Question wording that the operators will use is provided in the web specifications in Appendix 3 of this submission. Additionally, telephone operators will use the following script to initiate completion of the screener with respondents who call in to the Telephone Questionnaire Assistance (TQA) line:

English:

“Thank you for calling. To start this voluntary survey, can I please have your USER ID which is located on the letter to help me locate your record? {If they don’t provide their User ID ask for their address }

Thank you

Are there any children or youth age 20 or younger living in this household?

Include small children, foster children, babies and youth who are away at college (if they have no other permanent home).

[If no:] “Thank you for calling and completing the survey.”

[If yes, the operator will complete the survey for the respondent screen by screen. Beforehand, the operator will say:]

“Okay, thank you. The survey will take about 30 minutes or less to complete. Let’s start with the first question about your household and see how far we can get…”

Spanish:

“Gracias por llamar. Para comenzar esta encuesta voluntaria, ¿puede decirme tener su ID de usuario que se encuentra en la carta para ayudarme a localizar su registro? {Si no proporcionan su ID de usuario, solicite la dirección}

Gracias

¿Hay algún niño o joven de 20 años o menos viviendo en este hogar?

Incluya niños pequeños, niños de crianza temporal (Foster), bebés y jóvenes que están en la universidad (si no tienen otro hogar permanente).

[if no:] “Gracias por llamar y completar la encuesta.”

[If sí, the operator will complete the survey for the respondent screen by screen. Beforehand, the operator will say:]

"Gracias. La encuesta demorará alrededor de 30 minutos o menos en completarse. Comencemos con la primera pregunta sobre su hogar y veamos qué tan lejos podemos llegar ... "

Website content

During the collection period for NHES:2023, the NHES website at nces.ed.gov/nhes will include a special link. The webpages in the link will provide information to NHES sample members about the study. The primary goals of these web pages will be:

Provide a quick link for survey respondents to get to the web survey instrument to complete the survey. Qualitative research indicates that sample members often use search engines to get to the web survey instrument rather than typing the url into the browser. The NHES website should have a quick link to the web survey instrument; and,
Provide enough information about the study to establish its legitimacy for skeptical sample members.

General Information about the National Household Education Survey (NHES)

What is NHES?

The National Household Education Survey (NHES) provides descriptive data on the educational activities of the U.S. population and offers researchers, educators, and policymakers a variety of statistics on the condition of education in the United States. NHES collects data about learning at home and about education decisions made at home. These are topics that are not easily collected through schools.

What types of questions will be asked?

First, all households are asked to answer some initial questions in order to help us understand their household characteristics. Depending on the characteristics of the household, some will receive additional questions asking about young children’s care and education, or students’ and families’ experiences with schools or homeschooling.

What is the purpose of NHES? How will my responses be used?

The Department of Education wants to understand the condition of education in the United States.

This study is the only way that we can learn about children’s care, early learning activities, and schooling from your perspective. Data from this study may be used by policymakers and researchers to improve programs for children.

Your responses will be combined with those from other households to inform educators, policymakers, schools and universities about changes in the condition of education in the United States. Reports from past studies can be found at http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/getpubcats.asp?sid=004.

Why was I chosen for this survey?

Your address was randomly selected to be part of this survey from a list of all the addresses in the United States. We do not know who lives at each address. However, every address had a chance to be selected. Now that your address was chosen, your response is vital to the success of the study!

Participating in NHES

Why should I take part in this study?

The survey results will be used by policymakers and researchers to improve programs for children. This survey is the best way to learn about children’s care, early learning activities, and schooling from your perspective. While the Census Bureau collects similar information, this survey is unique and asks for up-to-date information not available from any other sources, including other government agencies.

How much time will it take?

If you have no children, the survey will take about 3 minutes, including the time for reviewing instructions. If you do have children, the survey will take about 30 minutes or less.

Survey Sponsor and Data Collector

Who is sponsoring this study? Is this study conducted by the Federal Government?

The U.S. Census Bureau is administering this voluntary survey on behalf of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). NCES, within the U.S. Department of Education, is authorized to conduct this survey by the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA 2002, 20 U.S.C. §9543).

Pin Reset Instructions for Census:

If a respondent forgets their PIN and security question, below are the only 2 scenarios for which someone can have their PIN reset:

The screener is not complete; we reset the case and wipe out the Screener data.
The screener is complete and no one was sampled; we reset the case and wipe out screener data.

For other scenarios, including those listed below, we can NOT reset the PIN:

Someone finished the Screener, someone was sampled, and they did NOT start the topical. (This would mean we would need to reset the Screener, which COULD result in someone else in the household being sampled. Once sampling occurs, resetting the Screener cannot happen, it messes up operational mailout activities and sampling activities on the backend for ASD); OR,
Someone finished the Screener, someone was sampled, and they’ve started the topical; OR,
Someone completed the topical.

Item: New PIN Page (newpin)

If a respondent is unable to provide their PIN, they must provide the answer to the verification question they selected during their first login. If the correct answer is submitted, the respondent will receive a new PIN and be asked to log in again.

Item: Accessibility Screen (accessibility)

Accessibility

The Census Bureau is committed to making online forms and other public documents on its Internet server accessible to all. Currently, we are reviewing our web sites and making modifications to those pages, which are not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. We use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create pages that are generally accessible to persons using screen-reading devices, and we are careful in our construction of HTML documents to ensure maximum accessibility. We include alternate text describing graphics.

Many Census Bureau Internet documents are in ASCII or HTML formats. These documents are accessible to persons using screen-reading software. We also have a large number of documents in Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) files. Currently, many people using screen-reading devices cannot read documents in PDF format, specifically those that were created from a scanned hard copy.

Adobe Systems, Inc. is producing various products designed to make Adobe Acrobat documents accessible to persons using screen-reading software. Adobe's accessibility web pages describe their efforts.

To allow us to better serve those with visual disabilities who are having difficulty accessing PDF documents; you may contact us directly for further assistance at 301-763-INFO (4636), 800-923-8282, or by submitting a request at ask.census.gov.

Item: Security Screen (security)

Data are Encrypted at all Times

Our secure servers use Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS) to ensure the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and the U.S. Census Bureau. This means that instead of sending readable text over the Internet, both your browser and our servers encode (scramble) all text using a security key. That way, personal data sent to your browser and data you send back are extremely difficult to decode in the unlikely event of interception by an unauthorized party. As a result of this, your browser must be capable of using the required encryption protocol and strength in order to connect to our servers. If you cannot connect to our secure servers, please upgrade to a newer browser.

Third Party Identity Proofing

Our secure servers use a digital certificate (digital ID) issued by a trusted, third party Certificate Authority (CA) as proof of identity. The only way to be sure of a web site's authenticity is to view their digital ID. In this way, you can be assured that you are not being "spoofed" or tricked by an imposter. The digital ID will contain information such as the name of the organization that owns the web site, the site's registered internet name/address, and the name of the Certification Authority under which the digital ID was issued. The method for viewing a web site's Digital Certificate/ID varies depending on the web browser. Please see your browser's "Help" information for instructions on how to verify a web site's identity.

Logic checks/programming specifications

The formatting of this page should mirror that on the “FAQs” page.

Frequently Asked Questions about the National Household Education Survey

Q: Why was I chosen for this survey?

A: Your address was randomly selected to be part of this survey from a list of all the addresses in the United States. We do not know who lives at each address. However, every address had a chance to be selected. Now that your address was chosen, your response is vital to the success of the study!

Q: No children live here. Should I give this survey to a neighbor or family member who has children?

A: No. Now that your address has been chosen, information about your household’s experiences will represent hundreds of households like yours. Together with other survey participants, your experiences will represent those of everyone in the United States. We cannot replace you. You should not give the survey to another household even if you do not have children.

Q: Who is doing the survey?

A: This survey is conducted by the Federal Government. The U.S. Census Bureau is doing the data collection for this study by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. This survey has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget, the office that reviews all federally sponsored surveys.

Q: Why should I take part in this study?

A: The survey results will be used by policymakers and researchers to improve programs for children. This survey is the best way to learn about children’s care, early learning activities, and schooling from your perspective. While the Census Bureau collects similar information, this survey is unique and asks for up-to-date information not available from any other sources, including other government agencies.

Q: How will the responses I provide be used? Will my privacy be protected?

A: Your responses will be combined with those of others to produce statistical summaries and reports. Your address and household members’ names will not be included on anything the study releases or shares. Your responses may be used only for statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law.

Q: How much time will it take to respond to this survey?

A: If you have no children, the survey will take about 3 minutes, including the time for reviewing instructions. If you do have children, the survey will take about 30 minutes or less.

Q: If there are no children or anyone currently in school in my household, should I respond?

A: Yes, you should respond to this survey. We need responses from households without children to get survey results that represent everyone in the U.S. population. If there are no children in your household, you will only need to answer one question!

Q: Who should I contact if I have questions or comments about this survey?

A: If you have any questions about this survey or the status of your individual survey submission, contact the Census Bureau toll-free at 1-888-840-8353.

Logic Checks/Programming specifications

Display the number of boxes based on s1_childmany. If s1_childmany is blank display all 10 boxes.

If s1_childmany > 1, display the text in brackets “Start with the youngest child.” Spanish: “Empiece con el más pequeño”

Number of children in the household as referenced in the rest of the web specs is as follows:

If s1_childmany and the number of names in s1_rosteraname are equal then number of children =s1_childmany
If s1_childmany and the number of names in s1_rosteraname are not equal (s1_childmany>s1_rosteraname is the only possible scenario since s1_rosteraname only shows the number of boxes reported in s1_childmany) then number of children = number of names in s1_rosteraname
If s1_childmany is missing, and number of names in s1_rosteraname >0, number of children = number of names in s1_rosteraname.
If s1_childmany is missing, and number of names in s1_rosteraname are all blank or 0, number of children = 0.

If the number of children entered on s1_rosteraname is less than the number of children entered on s1_childmany, then ask the follow-up screener questions (s1_pXdobmm through s1_pXgrade_web, where X is the number of children reported in s1_rosteraname). If s1_childmany equals the number entered in s1_rosteraname (and s1_childmany and s1_rosteraname is not 0 or blank), then ask about that number in the follow-up screener questions (s1_pXdobmm through s1_pXgrade_web, where X is the number of children reported in s1_childmany and s1_rosteraname), unless that number is 0 or blank, in which follow: If s1_childmany and s1_rosteraname are all blank or 0 then assume no children in household and end survey (follow skip pattern programming for the end survey screen).

If the respondent reports 6 children in s1_childmany but only puts 2 children in s1_p1name and s1_p2name and then reports a child in s1_p6name make sure that the corresponding data for that person in the sex, age, enrollment, and grade questions (s1_pXdobmm through s1_pXgrade_web) aligns with the p3name variable. In 2017 the data output had the name in p1_s6name but the remaining data for that person in s1_p3<variable name>. For sampling purposes the NHES:2023 will only sample from first five children reported (s1_p1-s1_p5).
