Appendix D. Question-by-question justification for follow-up surveys - updated April 2022

Appendix D. Question-by-question
justification for follow-up surveys – revised

This document provides the source and justifications for each question on the First Follow-up Survey (Instrument 3) and Second Follow-up Survey (Instrument 4). The instruments are similar—the second follow-up survey uses the same question text as the first follow-up survey. However, reference dates for recall periods are different across the instruments. The second follow-up survey includes a recall period back to the random assignment date for those who did not complete the first follow-up survey and a recall period back to the first follow-up survey completion date for those who did complete it. The first follow-up survey includes a section on program satisfaction that is not included in the second follow-up survey.
