Working Paper Number SEHSD-WP1986-05 or SIPP-WP-16
Introduction
This report was completed by a consultant with extensive experience in survey operations and interviewer training. It is the result of an evaluation of training methods and materials for the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). This evaluation was commissioned as part of the effort to insure that the interviewer training meets goals and needs of the survey. It is believed that SIPP can benefit from the experience o f other similar survey operations. To perform this evaluation Population Division of the Census Bureau contracted with Mimi Holt, a survey research consultant. Ms. Holt reviewed training materials, including the interviewer manual s, self-study guides, and verbatim training guides; she attended two interviewer training sessions; and she observed interviewing in the field. Her evaluation and recommendations were made on the basis of these experiences.
