Reviewer Notes:

This is a shortened version of the full HPOG 2.0 Long-term Follow-up Survey (LTS). It will be administered to reluctant respondents in an effort to maximize response rates for critical items only. In most sections of the survey, we reduced the length of the section by dropping several questions. In other sections, we dropped all of the questions. A comment bubble for each section heading indicates whether the section was reduced to include a smaller number of questions or was dropped entirely. Questions to be dropped have the word DROPPED replacing the question text.

Throughout the instrument, there are places where the CAPI software will insert text to customize the question for the respondent. A couple of key text inserts are defined here:

[MYLI]: The MYLI is the start of the reference period for questions asking about new credentials. For those study participants who responded to the intermediate follow-up survey (ITS), the LTS will ask about credentials earned since the date of the ITS, usually about three years before the date of the LTS. If the participant did not respond to the ITS but did respond to the STS, the LTS will ask about credentials earned since the short-term follow-up survey (STS). If the participant responded to neither the ITS nor the STS, the LTS will ask about credentials earned since the date of randomization. So, the MYLI is either the date of the most recent prior survey response or the date of randomization.

[3YEARPRIORDATE]: This date should be calculated as three years prior to the date of the interview. This field is used in the employment section to determine intermediate employment status for those who did not complete the intermediate follow-up survey (ITS)

Sections C and D, current versus most recent employer: Throughout Sections C and D, questions ask about the respondent’s current or most recent job. IF [C9 OR C14 Yes] all questions in Section C and D are asked in present tense. If not currently employed but worked in past three years (C15=), then all questions in Section C and D are asked in past tense. CAPI programming will insert the appropriate verbiage based on C9, C14 and C15 responses.

CAPI notes, which begin with CAPI: are instructions for the programmers. They are noted in bold font and the skip logic for CAPI is noted with numeric values, for example: CAPI: IF B6=1 SKIP TO B8.

Plain text descriptions of who is asked each question are noted in bold font in orange text boxes. Skip logic for plain text descriptions is noted with alpha values, for example: Ask B7 if they stopped attending a program without completing it (B6=YES).

1. INTRODUCTION

Hello, my name is [ ]. May I please speak with _____?

Thank you for taking the time to talk with me today. I work for Abt Associates. Abt Associates is an independent research company, and we are helping the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with its national evaluation of the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) Program. We are conducting interviews with people who agreed to be in a study about a program offered at [NAME OF ORGANIZATION] called [PROGRAM NAME].

This interview will include questions on your employment, education, and training activities, and your overall well-being. We will also ask a few questions about the people living with you and your children. This interview will take about 20 minutes to complete. When we are done, we will send you a link to access a $50 gift certificate to a store of your choice. This interview is connected to the consent form you signed to let researchers collect information from you back in [RAD] when you enrolled in the HPOG study. [CAPI: IF RESPONDENT COMPLETETED 15 or 36-MONTH SURVEY DISPLAY: This is a follow-up to the interview you participated in [MONTH/YEAR OF LAST INTERVIEW].

By participating in this study, you will help ACF learn if and how programs like [PROGRAM NAME] make a difference in people’s lives and how to improve these kinds of training programs in the future. We need to talk with people who got into the program and those who did not. Your experiences are unique. Your participation in this study will help policymakers and program operators better understand how to help people attain educational credentials and find and keep jobs.

Before we begin the survey, I would like to assure you that all of your responses on this survey will be kept private and only used by people approved for conducting research consistent with the goals of this study. Any data sets that are developed for sharing outside this study will be stripped of information that would make it easy to identify you. Your name will not appear in any written reports we produce. Your responses to these questions are completely voluntary. That means you may choose not to answer any question, or you may stop the interview if you wish, but we hope you don’t. Your responses to these questions will in no way affect your participation in any programs or your receipt of any kinds of public benefits or services. As we mentioned at the time of enrollment, we will continue to collect information from data sources such as the National Directory of New Hires and the National Student Clearinghouse so researchers can learn more about your future employment, earnings, and post-secondary education until the end of HHS’s research on HPOG grants, or when you choose to withdraw permission.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this collection is 0970-0462 and it expires xx/xx/xxxx. If you have comments regarding estimated survey length or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the length of the survey, please send them to Larry Buron 6130 Executive Boulevard Rockville, MD 20852; Attn: OMB-PRA 0970-0462. Do you have any questions before we begin?

Let’s begin now.

Read the following text and ask A5 of everyone with any training since [MYLI] (A2 or A2a=Yes)

[A5_INTRO] Now I’m going to ask you questions about any academic certificates, diplomas, or degrees you may have received since [MYLI]. I will also ask you about any vocational certificates, professional certifications, and state or industry licenses you may have received later in this survey. It can be hard to know whether to report a certificate as academic or vocational. Please report it as academic if the required courses for the certificate carry regular college credits that could count toward a degree. Otherwise, report it as vocational.

[IF ITS or STS RESPONDER: When we last talked in [MYLI], you told us you received [A5ReadAloudCount] [IF A5ReadAloudCount=1: “academic certificate, diploma or degree”, ELSE “academic certificates, diplomas or degrees”]. [IF A5ReadAloudCount >0: “These included [A5ReadAloudN1…, A5ReadAloudN7].”] Now I’d like to know if you have received any other academic certificates, diplomas, or degrees since [MYLI].

INTERVIEWER SELECT APPROPRIATE RESPONSE:

1. RESPONDENT DID NOT QUESTION THE LIST [CONTINUE TO A5]

2. RESPONDENT VOLUNTEERED THAT AT LEAST ONE CREDENTIAL WAS WRONG

[READ SCRIPT BELOW THEN PROCEED TO A6]

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I have made a note in your file to correct this. Let’s continue now.

4. Vocational Certificates

[A6_INTRO] The next set of questions asks about any vocational certificates you may have earned. People sometimes earn vocational certificates from an education or training program. A vocational certificate is one that can be awarded by a training provider or an educational institution for taking courses that don’t count toward a degree. A vocational certificate is awarded based on completion of all course requirements. Vocational certificates are different from professional certifications or state or industry licenses. Some people get both a certificate from a school or other training institute and a related certification or license from the state.

As we go through this next set of questions, please answer only about school- and institute-issued educational certificates you may have received since [IF MYLI: [MYLI] / ELSE: [RAD]]. Please do not include school issued diplomas or academic degrees you already told me about. Also, please do not include any professional certifications or state or industry licenses yet. We will talk about those in the next section.

[IF INTERMEDIATE RESPONDER: When we last spoke in [MYLI], you told us that you had received [A7ReadAloudCount] vocational [IF A6ReadAloudCount = 1, “certificate”, ELSE “certificates”]. [IF A6ReadAloudCount>0: “These included [A6ReadAloudN1…A6ReadAloudN7].”] Now I’d like to know if you have received any other vocational certificates for completing courses that don’t count toward a degree since [MYLI].

INTERVIEWER SELECT APPROPRIATE RESPONSE:

1. RESPONDENT DID NOT QUESTION THE LIST [CONTINUE TO A6]

2. RESPONDENT VOLUNTEERED THAT AT LEAST ONE CREDENTIAL WAS WRONG [READ SCRIPT BELOW THEN PROCEED TO A6]

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I have made a note in your file to correct this. Let’s continue now.

6. There are different types of vocational certificates people can earn. I’d like to know if you have received any of the following types of vocational certificates:

A6a. Since [IF INTERMEDIATE RESPONDER: [MYLI] / ELSE: [RAD]], have you received a vocational certificate for completing a training program that doesn’t count toward a degree from an employer, employment agency, union, software or equipment manufacturer, or other training provider?

1. YES

A6i. DROPPED

Ask A7 of everyone.

5. Certifications and Licenses

[A7_INTRO] This next set of questions asks about any professional certifications or state or industry licenses you may have received since [MYLI].

A professional certification or license shows you are qualified to perform a specific job like Licensed Realtor, Certified Medical Assistant, Certified Construction Manager, or an IT certification. A certification is awarded by an organization; a state or industry license is awarded by a licensing agency. Both professional certifications and state or industry licenses need to be renewed periodically.

[IF INTERMEDIATE RESPONDER: When we last spoke in [MYLI], you told us that you had received [A7ReadAloudCount] professional [IF A7ReadAloudCount=1 “certification”, ELSE “certifications”] or state, or industry [IF A7ReadAloudCount=1 “license”, ELSE “licenses”]. [IF A7ReadAloudCount > 0: “These included [A7ReadAloudN1…, A7ReadAloudN7].”] Now I’d like to ask about any other professional certifications, or state or industry licenses you received since [MYLI].]
