Abstract: To date the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Planning Research and Evaluation (OPRE), has relied on small field tests (involving fewer than ten respondents) in developing questionnaires. However, these small tests are limited in their ability to detect and diagnose problems with the instruments and the procedures being tested. In response to this problem, we request a generic survey development clearance to allow us to use larger samples in applying methods useful for identifying questionnaire and procedural problems, suggesting solutions, and measuring the relative effectiveness of alternative solutions.
