Abstract: This includes a pretest of Round 2 of a household survey and a pretest of a survey of employers and health insurance providers identified in the Round 1 pretest household interviews. No interviews will be administered in the Round 2 pretest. The purpose of that round is to collect signed permission forms from persons in sampled households. These forms are needed to field the survey of employers and health insurance providers (HIPS). HIPS will verify and supplement health insurance coverage reported by household respondents.
