August 2, 2011
This document responds to OMB’s Notice of Action dated July 1, 2008 regarding the WIC Peer Counseling Study, Part I, OMB control no. 0584-0548. As part of its approval for data collection activities in Part I of the WIC Peer Counseling Study, OMB specified the following Terms of Clearance:
“Upon submission of Part II of this study, OMB will require the following from FNS:
1) Specific analysis of response patterns and/or response bias for all "check that apply" questions with more than 6 response options, as well as any web tables requiring horizontal scrolling on the survey instrument used in Part I.
2) A re-designed questionnaire that draws heavily on already validated instruments and adequately tests new questions. Adequate testing requires cognitive work beyond a simple pilot test. OMB recommends that FNS consult with survey methodologists at one of the two statistical agencies located within the Department of Agriculture for assistance. OMB will look for evidence of such consultation, as well as adequate testing with the submission of the Phase II collection request.”
As part of FNS’s submission for clearance of Part II of the WIC Peer Counseling Study, FNS’s responses to these Terms of Clearance are as follows:
RESPONSE TO TERM OF CLEARANCE (1):
Part I of the study included an online survey administered to 51 State WIC agencies and 34 WIC agencies in U.S. Territories or Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs), the “State WIC Agency Survey.” The survey included some “check all that apply” items with more than 6 response options. As requested, response patterns to all such items are included on the pages that follow. A printed version of the survey is included for reference in a separate Attachment.
In its implementation online, the survey did not include any items that required horizontal scrolling. Although some survey items that appeared in print versions of the OMB submission for clearance of Part I activities were printed in “landscape” orientation, the layout of such items in the online version did not require respondents to scroll horizontally.
RESPONSE TO TERM OF CLEARANCE (2):
OMB requests a re-designed questionnaire. However, Part II of this study does not require use of a questionnaire like that used in Part I. Part II of this study does not include a web survey of State WIC agencies. Therefore, no re-design of the survey used in Part I has been conducted. However, FNS did take into account the request that instruments used in Part II be subjected to cognitive testing. Two of the questionnaires proposed for Part II were drawn directly from, or moderately adapted from instruments used in FNS’s Evaluation of the Birth Month Breastfeeding Changes to the WIC Food Packages (OMB control no. 0584-0551, expiration date: 2/29/2012). These questionnaires will be conducted by telephone and are included as Appendices A1 and A2 in FNS’s Supporting Statement for Paperwork Reduction Act Submission, Parts A and B for the WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Study: Phase 2:
A1. WIC Participant Baseline Survey (English)
A2. WIC Participant Follow-up Survey (English)
These questionnaires and all other instruments proposed for Part II of the study are included in the Appendices for OMB review.
