Impact Evaluation Instrument for the University of Nevada



For the University of Nevada project, we will survey parents/caregivers of preschool children at pre- and post-intervention. We will administer the survey to parents/caregivers in-person at their child’s Head Start Center at scheduled interview times. We will coordinate scheduling the in-person interviews with University of Nevada, and randomly rotate the order of the two surveys. During the interview, we will collect parents/caregivers’ contact information so that we can survey them at post-intervention using a mail/telephone survey approach. We provide the following four versions of the instrument:

  1. interviewer-administered questionnaire (pre-survey - intervention and control groups),

  2. mail questionnaire (post-survey - intervention group),

  3. mail questionnaire (post-survey - control group), and

  4. telephone questionnaire for nonrespondents to mail survey (post-survey - intervention and control groups).

English and Spanish versions are provided. The Spanish translation takes into consideration the Mexican population in Nevada.

Impact Evaluation Instrument for the University of Nevada



For the University of Nevada project, we will survey parents/caregivers of preschool children at pre- and post-intervention. We will administer the survey to parents/caregivers in-person at their child’s Head Start Center at scheduled interview times. We will coordinate scheduling the in-person interviews with University of Nevada, and randomly rotate the order of the two surveys. During the interview, we will collect parents/caregivers’ contact information so that we can survey them at post-intervention using a mail/telephone survey approach. We provide the following four versions of the instrument:

1. interviewer-administered questionnaire (pre-survey - intervention and control groups),

2. mail questionnaire (post-survey - intervention group),

3. mail questionnaire (post-survey - control group), and

4. telephone questionnaire for nonrespondents to mail survey (post-survey - intervention and control groups).
