SUBJECT: Results of CCAMPIS Pretest

Mathematica Policy Research (MPR) pretested the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) survey, “Child Care Survey of Post Secondary Institutions,” with nine institutions in mid-July. We purposively selected institutions to provide a range in institutional characteristics, including type (two-year or four-year), control (public or private), urbanicity, and CCAMPIS grantee status (Table 1). Each institution’s child care program director completed the survey. Completion times ranged from 32 minutes to 4 hours; the average time was 1 hour and 22 minutes. However, as discussed below, these times underestimate the time needed to complete the survey for respondents who will provide data rather than select the “data not available” option for the majority of items.

The remainder of this memorandum discusses respondent difficulties and alternatives for addressing those difficulties, and word, item, or screen changes. The appendix contains a copy of the questionnaire; it specifies the number of pretest participants answering each question and summarizes their answers.

Respondent Challenges

There were three main challenges for respondents: 1) obtaining data to answer questions on Pell-grant recipients, 2) obtaining data to answer questions on off-campus centers, and 3) finding sufficient time to complete the survey. Recommendations immediately follow each challenge.

1. Providing Data on Pell-Grant Recipients Using Child Care Services

One of the key purposes of the pretest was to determine if institutions could provide data on Pell-grant recipients who use postsecondary institutions’ child care service. This proved to be challenging for nearly all of the respondents, and for almost all of the data items requested. Only one respondent provided data on the number of Pell-grant recipients, and for most items she did so only for one academic year. There were several reasons for respondents’ difficulty with these items:

1. Need to Request Data from Other Departments. All pretest participants had difficulty accessing data to identify Pell-grant recipients. Most (seven respondents) would have to request the data from their financial aid office or another department. Participants estimated it would take a minimum of two weeks and likely several weeks for the request to be processed. One respondent said the request would be a very low priority for the receiving department and may never be processed.

2. Institutions Do Not Maintain Relevant Data. More than half of the pretest participants (five respondents) said their institution does not collect and maintain data on the demographic characteristics of Pell-grant recipients and their children. The one respondent who did have these data available was a CCAMPIS grantee who began collecting these data in 2005-2006 in anticipation of data requests from ED.

3. Gathering Data Is Time-Consuming. A respondent at a small institution with minimal administrative support indicated that gathering data would require her to manually extract data from individual student folders.

Recommendations. We raise several suggestions for the U.S. Department of Education’s (ED’s) consideration. Some of the suggestions involve minor changes or additions to facilitate the data collection process for respondents. These may encourage more respondents to provide data, but may still net low item response rates for the Pell-grant items. Other suggestions require more substantial changes. We have grouped the suggestions under two approaches: one that continues to attempt to collect all of the data currently requested, and one that requests more limited data.

Option 1

• Request Respondents to Submit a List of Child Care Students to the Appropriate Office. The current survey asks child care program directors to answer the questions, while also offering “Data not available” response options. Instead, we could do the following:

• Add instructions explicitly asking respondents first to prepare a list of the students using their child care services.

• Provide a form (both paper and electronic versions) for the respondents to record names of students using the institution’s child care services in each academic year from 2001-2002 through 2006-2007.

• Ask respondents to send the list to the appropriate office to determine which students are Pell-grant recipients.

• Direct respondents to complete the survey after they obtain this information.

Such explicit instructions may motivate the respondents to request assistance from another office by establishing that this is expected of them. Pretest participants suggested that they probably would have done so for the “real” survey. Factors that discouraged their doing so for the pretest including its timing (summer was considered a particularly difficult time to collect data from these offices) and the turn-around time available (respondents were given a couple weeks to complete the pretest, rather than the couple months that they will have for the final survey).

• Provide Respondents with a List of Data Items. Most child care program directors will need to give another office a list of the data items they are requesting from that office (for example, Pell-grant-recipient status, or demographic characteristics). Although they could prepare such a list by printing and reviewing a hard copy of the questionnaire, we could facilitate this process by including with the advance letter a list of the survey items requiring data extraction. Program directors could flag the listed items it needs to request from another office and forward the list to that office, along with their list of students. The list would also simplify the process for child care program directors to collect data available in their own office.

• Prompt Staff in the Research (or Other) Office to Cooperate. The above suggestions should increase the likelihood that child care program directors will request the needed data from another office. Based on a few follow-up calls made to research office staff at the pretest institutions, staff in those offices indicated a greater willingness to provide data than the child care program directors had predicted. Clearly, though, some research office staff will be less cooperative. Although our experience suggests the research office staff will be more responsive to requests from other institutional staff than from an independent research firm, more persistence in requesting the data may be needed than the child care program director is willing or able to provide. This would entail MPR finding out from child care program directors the office to which their request was forwarded.

• Conduct a Pilot Survey. Given the time, cost, and effort involved in implementing the web survey with the full sample, and the uncertainty as to what data will be obtained by carrying out one or more of the above approaches, ED may want to consider conducting a pilot survey to more thoroughly assess the effectiveness of these options before going full-scale. We would recommend piloting the survey with 10 to 15 percent of the full sample size of 688 institutions (i.e., 69 to 103 institutions).

Option 2

• If results from the pilot survey indicate that the current survey imposes too much burden on institutions and low response rates are obtained (overall or for key items), we would discuss with ED another approach. Rather than try to collect data on the individual Pell-grant students who have used the institution’s child care services over the last six years, we could request data that would be easier for institutions to provide. We would ask for the same types of data (persistence data, demographic data), but for all Pell-grant students with young children in academic years 2001-2002 to 2006-2007, rather than the specific students using the child care services in those years. Comparing these data from CCAMPIS grantees and nongrantees would address ED’s questions more obliquely, but it would reduce the burden on both child care program directors research office staff, and thus may encourage greater response and perhaps more accurate data. The extent to which these data would be useful would likely depend on the proportion of Pell-grant recipients with young children who use the institution’s child care services. More research is needed to determine these proportions.

These suggestions warrant further discussion with ED to review their data, cost, and burden implications.

2. Providing Data on Off-Campus Centers

Three pretest participants reported having one or more off-campus centers to which they refer students or work with, either formally or informally. For nearly all questions about off-campus centers (not just those requiring Pell-grant data), they selected the “Data not available” option (when offered). Respondents said in their debriefing that they provide students with names of off-campus centers when child care is needed. However, they have no formal arrangement or substantive communication with these centers and could not confirm that those students had enrolled their children in them.

Recommendations. The small number of pretest respondents that answered the off-campus center questions (three respondents) requires caution to be exercised in drawing conclusions. The pretest does suggest, though, that respondents may not have data on students attending off-campus centers. As MPR and ED have discussed previously, we do not want to impose the burden on respondents of having to collect data from off-campus centers. We can add “Data not available” response options to additional items in this section. ED may also want to consider dropping some of the off-campus center questions from the survey.

3. Obtaining Completed Surveys

Two respondents completed the survey as scheduled. The remaining seven required email and telephone prompts. Of the seven with delayed submissions, two had stopped working on it because they could not answer the questions. Once encouraged to use the “Data not available” option (as appropriate), they completed the survey by selecting that option. The remaining five pleaded general lack of time to complete the survey.

Most participants (6 respondents) cited completion times of less than an hour. These times, however, underestimate the actual time needed to complete the survey, as eight of the nine respondents selected “Data not available” rather than obtain data maintained in another institutional office. They declined to request data from another office because it would have taken weeks for the other office to respond or because they did not believe the other office would respond at all. For example, one respondent would have had to request data from the institution’s Office of Institutional Research—a process she said would require several weeks. Three respondents said they would have made the effort to get the data under non-pretest conditions, though it is not clear whether the other office would comply. The one respondent who provided Pell-grant data needed 4 hours to complete the survey, even though she did not need to request data from another office, had data only for the 2005-2006 school year for most items, had just 21 Pell-grant recipients on which to report, and had no off-campus centers.

Recommendations

1. Knowing the Survey Length. Respondents said it would have helped them to know the survey length as they were completing it, so they would have an idea of how much was needed. Although it may be discouraging to use the length of the full survey as a counter—and not meaningful, as respondents likely will skips several portions of the survey—we can add a screen count for each section (in Section A, for example, the screens would say Screen 1 of 2 or Screen 2 of 2). Most sections contain only a few screens.

2. Encouraging Participation. We will emphasize in the advance letter, email invitation, and Main Menu screen that respondents should answer all questions, even if it is only to indicate that data are not available (when they are truly not available), as it will still be informative to learn what data institutions can provide. Even with these changes, the survey may require MPR to conduct more extensive prompting than originally anticipated (and potentially prompting more than one institutional respondent, as noted above). In particular, respondents who are unable to collect the Pell-grant data needed for Sections C, E, and F may consider the survey not to apply to them and may need encouragement to complete the remaining sections.

WORDING, ITEM, AND SCREEN CHANGES

1. “Pell-Grant-Eligible Students” versus “Pell-Grant Recipients.” Two respondents distinguished between Pell-grant-eligible students and Pell-grant recipients. One said that institutions keep data only on students who receive a Pell grant. If a student was eligible for a Pell grant but did not apply, she would have no data on that student. Changing the terminology to Pell-grant-recipients will still allow us to collect data on the population in which ED is interested and may clarify the questions for some respondents.

2. Definition of “Off-Campus.” Some respondents were unclear as to what was meant by working formally or informally with off-campus centers. We will add a definition to the Definitions screen and a hyperlink next to the first question asking about off-campus centers (Question J1).

3. Review All Screen. We propose to make changes to three aspects of the Review All screen:

• All survey questions currently appear on the Review All screen, including those the respondent automatically skipped, based on answers to previous questions. This confused respondents who thought they needed to answer the skipped questions. We will remove skipped questions from each respondent’s Review All screen.

• We will also add instructions at the top of the Review All screen to clarify that, after correcting an answer, respondents do not need to page through each subsequent survey screen but can submit the screen with the correction and then click the hyperlink at the bottom of the screen to return to the Review All screen.

• We will lighten the shading in the data entry cells on the Review All screen so the data are easier to read.

4. Question A2. This question asks for the institution’s sources of funds for child care services for students. Based on “other (specify)” responses, we will expand the first response option from “Institutional dollars” to “Institutional dollars (including tuition, student activity fees, etc.).” We will also add “Parent fees” as a response category.

5. Question C11. This question asks what child care services the respondent would like to add or improve. We will add “None” as the first response category to distinguish between respondents not wanting to add or improve any services and those not answering the question.

6. Question I7. This question asks about the typical subsidy for on-campus child care. One respondent provided a percentage rather than a dollar amount. We will modify this question to allow respondents to report their answer in either format.

7. Off-Campus Center Section. The respondents with formal or informal relationships with off-campus centers were unable to answer many of the questions in this section. We will add “Data not available” options to additional questions in this section.

8. Questions J3, J4, and J6. These questions asked for the number of off-campus centers that were licensed, registered, certified, or accredited. We gave respondents the option of providing a numeric response or, if that was unknown, selecting a percentage estimate from the multiple choices offered. The one respondent who answered these questions offered both a numeric response and a percentage, but the responses conflicted with each other. We recommend asking only for the number of off-campus centers and removing the option of selected an estimated percentage.

9. Skipping parts of some questions. Some questions contain tables in which only certain rows or columns apply to particular respondents, based on their answers to earlier questions or to their CCAMPIS grantee status. The rows or columns that did not apply were write-protected and shaded gray to signal respondents that no data were needed (for example, Question I7 may have rows shaded gray in response to answers to Question I5). But respondents were unclear as to why they could not enter data. We will add a brief explanatory note to screens where this shading occurs.

10. Answer Format. Participants frequently included a dollar sign ($) or percentile symbol (%) in their responses. Entering these symbols triggered error messages, as only numeric values were acceptable. We will add a dollar sign or percentile symbol, as applicable, adjacent to the answer box (see, for example, Questions A2, C2, I1, L2, and L6) to discourage respondents from entering those symbols. This should minimize error messages. We will also add instructions to round percentages to the nearest whole number—again, to minimize error messages.

11. Error Messages. For most error messages, respondents need only to return to the previous screen to correct the relevant item. But some error messages instruct respondents either to correct an item on the just-submitted screen or to correct an item on an earlier screen with which the most recent completed item conflicts. Some participants found it difficult to navigate back through multiple screens to return to the earlier survey item. To facilitate this process, we will hyperlink all survey items referenced within error messages. Respondents will then be able to return directly to the applicable item with one mouse click.

The Child Care Survey OF POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTIONS

This questionnaire has three parts.

I. Child Care services – Part I asks questions that apply to all child care services offered at this institution for postsecondary students.

2. ON-CAMPUS CHILD CARE CENTERS – Part II asks questions that apply to on-campus child care centers at this institution.

2. OFF-CAMPUS CHILD CARE CENTERS – Part III asks questions that apply to off-campus child care centers that this institution makes referrals to or works with, either formally or informally.

For all questions, “your institution” refers only to this specific campus location.

Terms Used in the Survey

Child care center: Place where care is provided to children in a group setting separate from a residence.  Centers may operate independently or as part of a child care program in which multiple centers are administered by an organization or agency.

Children: Children of postsecondary students at your institution (do not include children of staff or faculty) who are age 12 or younger and require care and supervision when parents are not present.

Students: Postsecondary students enrolled full- or part-time at your institution.

Child care services: Direct provision of child care services in on-campus or off-campus centers, as well as other child care assistance, such as child care subsidies, child care resource and referral services, and other child care assistance for postsecondary students.

Community Child Care Provider: A local child care center, preschool, Head Start, nursery school, or family child care provider that is not operated by the postsecondary institution.

Family Child Care Provider: A family child care provider cares for nonresident children in her/his home on a regular basis, usually for pay, so that parents and primary caregivers can work, attend school or training, or participate in other regular activities.

Family Child Care Provider Network: A group of family child care providers sponsored by a central organization, which may provide training and technical assistance to providers, facilitate communication and support among providers, recruit families needing child care and make referrals to the providers, handle the collection of fees from parents and payments to providers, monitor the quality of care provided, and/or advocate for providers in policymaking forums.
