Results and Recommendations from Cognitive Interviews with the Employment History Topical Module to the Survey of Income and Program Participation

Written by:
SSM2003-14

Executive Summary

This report documents the research undertaken to cognitively pretest the Employment History Topical Module to the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). In an effort to assess the performance of this revised SIPP module, as modified by the recommendations of the Continuous Instrument Improvement Group (CIIG), a series of cognitive interviews were conducted in February of 2003. Staff from the Center for Survey Methods Research (CSMR) conducted the interviews with a computer - automated instrument, containing questions from portions of the core SIPP instrument and the Employment History Module. Although questions from another revised module — the Recipiency History Topical Module — were included in the instrument for pretesting purposes and preceded the Employment History questions, those results are not presented here.
