Census 2010 CICCE Questionnaire (REVISED 3/10/09)

SCREENER AND WAVE 1 QUESTIONNAIRE


***Annotations reflecting results of Cognitive Interviews conducted 03/17/09-03/23/09****




NOTE1 TO REVIEWERS: NORC computer-assisted questionnaires have designated reserve codes for Don’t Know and Refused options which would be activated for these questionnaires. These options are not noted explicitly in this draft except where their selection affects skip patterns, or where we propose alternative categories which would replace these options.


NOTE2 TO REVIEWERS: NORC has received instructions from the Bureau regarding specific language that must be used with respect to the Privacy Act, matching with Title 13 data, etc. This language will appear in the consent statement rather than the questionnaire.


NOTE3 TO REVIEWERS: There will be multiple modes of data collection (CATI, CAPI, and possibly web and mail) and this questionnaire is the CATI instrument to be administered by interviewers.


NOTE4 TO REVIEWERS: Cognitive interviews of the instrument haven’t been conducted. It will occur after this review.


NOTE5 TO REVIEWERS: Items regarding paid media messaging will be finalized after the paid media campaign is better developed (later in 2009). The Q19 series of items is therefore a placeholder rather than final content.
