LifeSet Baseline Survey

This survey is intended to be administered at baseline to all youth in the study by interviewers of the subcontracted survey firm. As this will be the first data collection for the evaluation, the interview will begin with the informed consent process. However, items gathering information to aid in follow-up contact are placed at the end of the survey so that rapport may be built prior to asking for contact information.

Instructions

Thank you for joining us today. We would like to invite you to participate in a survey that will last about 35 minutes. We are conducting this survey as part of the Young Adult Services Study (YASS). The survey contains questions about the services you received during foster care. There are also questions about your experiences leaving foster care such as education and work, places you lived, and the relationships you have with family and friends.

Some questions ask about your emotions, alcohol and drug use, and behavior that might be against the law but are very common for young people your age.

[IF MODE =1] I will read the questions to you and enter your responses into the computer. You may skip over any questions you do not want to answer.

[IF MODE = 2] If you want, you can listen to these questions on headphones and enter your answers on a computer. The interviewer will not see your answers to these questions.

We will use this information to better understand the services that young adults in New Jersey get and what it is like for them leaving foster care.

Your participation in this survey is voluntary. You can choose not to answer any question or not participate in the survey at all. There will be no consequences to you if you choose not to participate. We will keep the information you provide private and will not share it with anyone except for research staff working on the study. Additionally, federal law states that 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 number for this data collection is 0970-0577 and the expiration date is 09/30/2024.

Great, this study is funded by the Administration for Children and Families, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This interview involves questions about the services you have received while in foster care, as well as questions about education and work, places you have lived, and relationships with family and friends. We are asking over 600 youth in foster care to take part. Your input is needed to understand and improve the services youth and young adults receive before and after they leave care.

Federal law requires us to keep your answers private. Any data you provide will only be used by authorized personnel for statistical purposes. The only exceptions to this promise of privacy are if you tell me you intend to seriously harm yourself or someone else, or if a child has been or will be seriously harmed. In this situation, I may need to notify a mental health professional or other authorities.

Your participation is voluntary. The [FILL IF MODE=1: "telephone interview"; FILL IF MODE=2: "interview"] will take about 35 minutes to complete. You may consider some of the questions to be sensitive and some of the questions may also make you feel certain emotions, such as sadness. Remember you can choose not to answer any questions you do not want to answer, and you can stop the interview at any time. If you become upset at any time during the interview and wish to speak to a mental health professional about how you are feeling, I will provide you with some toll-free hotline numbers to call. A $25 electronic gift card will be sent to you after the [FILL IF MODE=1: "telephone interview"; FILL IF MODE=2: "interview"]. We may also telephone you in the future to check on the quality of my work during this interview. This consists of a brief set of questions for participants to answer to check for professionalism, time to complete the interview, and if data collection procedures were followed.

Employment and Earnings

EMP0_W1 Now I’d like to ask you about any work you may have done. I am going to distinguish between two types of work. First, we will talk about formal employment. Formal employment is a job where you had an on-going relationship with a single employer, for example, working in a supermarket or restaurant. Second, we will talk about informal jobs, that is, doing one or a few tasks for several people and not having a "boss", for example, babysitting, mowing lawns, anything under the table, day labor, or work done through an app such as Uber, Doordash, Amazon Flex, or Taskrabbit. Informal jobs are sometimes called freelance, contract, or gig work.

First, let’s talk about any formal work you have done for an employer.

For this next section of questions, I’m going to hand the laptop over to you so that you can enter your answers yourself. I have headphones for you to use so that you can listen to questions being read to you. You can keep the headphones as a gift. I will not be able to hear the questions or see the answers you type into the laptop. Some of the questions might be sensitive, so this way, you can listen and answer privately.

This section is very important – that is why it is set up this way using the laptop with the headphones. Please settle in and take your time to listen to the questions and give your answers. This section will take 5 to 10 minutes or so. If you have any questions for me during this section, just let me know.
