Population. Enrollees in RETAIN evaluation who have undergone random assignment and have
been randomly selected for the survey. These are individuals who have had an injury (likely
musculoskeletal) and may be at risk of exit from the labor force and / or long-term reliance on longterm injury or illness programs, such as SSDI and SSI. Respondents will include self-reporting
enrollees as well as proxies answering on enrollees’ behalf.



Target respondent. Enrollees in RETAIN who have enrolled during Phase 2. The subset of phase 2
states are not yet determined, but could include: CA, KS, MN, VT, CT, KY, OH, or WA. All eligible



Length. The questionnaire is designed to take about 18 minutes to complete.



Language. The questionnaire is available in English and Spanish only.



includes: which respondents receive the item; dynamic fills, designated by text [in brackets];
emphasis text, designated by underlined font; soft checks that help improve data quality (designated
in boxes below applicable items); response options shown with boxes indicate “check all that apply”
response format, whereas those shown in circles denote “check one” response format. The web
survey will be optimized to deploy on mobile devices, tablets, and/ or personal computers.



Web survey login. Respondents will login to the homepage and input their username and password.
