Gen IC Cognitive Interview

Request for new submission under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Services Delivery”

(OMB Control Number: (1121-0360)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: CJRP/2026 JFRC Draft Protocol, CJRP/2026 JRFC Draft Instrument for Round 1, and Draft Consent Form.

PURPOSE: The purpose of cognitively testing proposed new questions for the JRFC/CJRP is to assess whether the questions are measuring the underlying constructs of interest and to better understand the accessibility of the requested data and the burden of compiling responses to the questions. The content to be tested builds on OJJDP’s redesign study of the JRFC/CJRP, completed in 2022, which identified promising new content but recommended additional question development and testing to determine burden and feasibility. The feedback from these interviews will be used to refine question wording and decide whether (or not) to include these new questions in the Juvenile Residential Facility Census and Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement. Questions will focus on collecting data on the length of stay, facility classification, demographics, the form of the survey (online vs paper), and beliefs on confidentiality and privacy of the data.

Respondents from residential facilities housing youth.
