72-Month Follow-up Survey

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]: For those who responded to the 36-month follow-up survey, the three year reference point is month and year of their 36-month interview date. If the participant did not respond to the 36-month follow-up, the recall period is the month of the interview, three years earlier—December 2014 for a participant interviewed in December 2017.

[EMPLOYER]: Sections B and C refer to the current or most recent employer. EMPLOYER is defined as

B2_NAME if B3=YES (still employed); or
‘for yourself’ if B2=6 (volunteered self-employed) and B3=YES (employed/working for self); or
B16_name if B13=YES (currently employed); or
B16_name if B13=NO and B14=YES (not currently employed but employed in the last three years);
“For yourself” if B2=6 VOLUNTEERED SELF-EMPLOYED and B3=Yes; or
“For yourself” if B16=6 VOLUNTEERED SELF-EMPLOYED.

[CHILD]: this is the name of the focal child, who was selected for the 36-month follow-up survey—if one was selected. It is used throughout Section H.

Sections B and C, current versus most recent employer: Throughout Sections B and C, questions ask about the respondent’s current or most recent job. If B3 or B13=Yes (currently employed) all questions in Section C are asked in present tense. IF not currently employed, but worked in past three years (B14=Yes), then all questions in Section C are asked in past tense. CAPI programming will insert the appropriate verbiage based on B3, B13 and B14 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 B2≠6 SKIP TO B7.

Plain text descriptions of who is asked each question are noted in bold font in orange text boxes. Skip logic for plain text descriptions are noted with alpha values, for example: Ask B6 if they were self-employed (B2=Self-employed).

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 [PACE: study called Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education.] 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 45 minutes to complete. When we are done, we will send you a gift card valued at $45 as a token of appreciation. You agreed to be part of the study around [RAD] when you signed a consent form to let researchers collect information from you. [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.

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 for this study. 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.

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 [PACE:0970-0397] and it expires 09/30/2020. If you have comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, please send them to Larry Buron at 4550 Montgomery Ave Bethesda, MD 20814; Attn: OMB-PRA [PACE:0970-0397].
