Abstract:
The Census Bureau plans to test the use of new and improved data collection techniques for self-enumeration and interviewer data-collection tasks surrounding and following the ongoing census and survey operations. The research and evaluation may include: research on public outreach, messaging, and similar invitations to participate in surveys; developing alternative enumeration or follow-up questionnaires; usability issues; conducting interviews or debriefings; and non-English language training and interviews. The questions asked in these studies will be typical census or survey questions and questions related to that content or attitudinal, opinion and satisfaction questions related to responding to Census Bureau surveys.
