2020 - 60-Month Survey Youth Interview – telephone (using electronic assisted capturing)

APPENDIX F

YOUTH SURVEY INSTRUMENT

OMB # 0960-0799

OMB Expiration Date: [DATE]

PROMISE 60-Month Follow-Up Survey:

Youth Questionnaire

DRAFT DATED: MAY 30, 2018

Administrative Notes:

• Field Period. The PROMISE 60-month parent and youth surveys will be administered beginning 60 months after random assignment. The parent and youth surveys will be deployed independently and fielded concurrently. They may be completed in any order (parent then youth or youth then parent). We anticipate that for the majority of cases, the parent interview will be completed first, followed by the youth.

• Consent for participation in all interviews (parent 18-month and 60-month and youth 18-month and 60-month) was collected from parents at enrollment. All youth provided assent at enrollment.

• Eligibility. Deceased youth are ineligible for the survey. Youth who withdrew from the PROMISE evaluation will be classified as eligible for weighting and response rate computations but will be removed from all survey outreach.

• The target respondent is the youth who enrolled in the PROMISE evaluation and provided assent to take part. If the youth is unable to complete the interview on his/her own or with the support of a trusted adult, we will allow a proxy to complete it on the youth’s behalf.

• Mode and length. This instrument is designed for an interviewer administration and will take approximately 20-35 minutes to complete. Interviews will be conducted in English or Spanish. Spanish language cases will be flagged in advance whenever possible.

• Programming logic is used to route respondents to the next applicable item or section based on the responses provided. The target universe for each item (based on skip logic or other criteria) is shown in the bar above the item number, along with fills denoted by text in brackets. Formatting is used to guide interviewing staff on question administration. Text shown in ALL CAPS is not read aloud. Underlined text is emphasized. Item sources are designated at the end of the question text in parentheses. Items repeated from the PROMISE 18-month survey are designated with (P18M-…). Items newly added to the 60-month instrument are highlighted in blue.

IV.D5. [Do you/Does YOUTH] or does anyone in [your/YOUTH’s] household receive retirement income from social security, a retirement plan, pension, 401k, or any other source of retirement income? (NEW)

IF NEEDED:

When you work and pay Social Security taxes, you earn “credits” toward Social Security benefits. Once you retire, and so long as you accumulated enough credits you are eligible to receive a Social Security benefit payment each month. It is based on how much you earned during your working career, and the age at which you decide to retire.

Survivors’ benefits are an extension of the Social Security program that pays out a portion, or all of the benefits, of a deceased individual to their surviving spouse or dependent children.

Under a retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b), the employee or employer (or both) contribute percent of employee’s earnings annually. These contributions are then invested, and the employee ultimately receives the balance following retirement.

A pension plan promises a specified monthly benefit at retirement. It may state this benefit as an exact dollar amount or may calculate through a formula using salary and years of service.
