Appendix S1. Household Survey (English-Spanish)
Please confirm questions that appear more than once are not duplicated.
RESPONSE: The questionnaire was revised to increase clarity. Questions are not intended to be administered twice but are sometimes presented separately in the Word document for administration by web and telephone. We have revised the instrument in a few key places to facilitate review.
Appendix U. Incentives and Response Rates
Regarding the proposed targeted post-pay incentive of $45 (instead of $35) among specific subgroups to further encourage survey response and ultimately reduce nonresponse bias: “Interesting and good idea – just be aware that your response sample for these subgroups may be disproportionately poor. Run a check comparing incomes at different states to ensure that it isn’t only the poorest who are most responsive to that $10 increase responding in those subgroups. Overall good idea, though.”
RESPONSE: We have revised the text to indicate that we will review results from the experiment by subgroup (including income and state) to confirm the experiment did not introduce additional bias into the sample.
