Results and Recommendations from the Final Round of Cognitive Pretesting with the SIPP Advance Letter
Results and Recommendations from the Final Round of Cognitive Pretesting with the SIPP Advance Letter
SSM2007-14
Background
This report reflects the Center for Survey Methods Research's (CSMR's) evaluation of two changes recently proposed by the Associate Director for Demographic Programs, with regards to the revised Survey of Income & Program Participation (SIPP) Advance Letter currently used in both the production survey and the methods panel. The research described in this report follows a previous and more extensive line of research geared toward creating a pretested and standardized SIPP Advance Letter. Some members from the SIPP Advance Letter Redesign Group, who guided the original SIPP Advance Letter research effort, suggested that current proposals for final changes to this letter be cognitively pretested prior to a decision on including any altered or new material. Results form the current research will help inform this decision, by illuminiating possible effects from the inclusion of the proposed material in the letter.
