Analysis of Recorded Interviews in the 2010 SIPP-EHC Field Test: Executive Summary

Written by:
Working Paper Number SIPP-WP-253

The 2010 SIPP-EHC Field Test was the Census Bureau’s first large-scale test of event history calendar (EHC) interviewing procedures using an electronic instrument. Current plans call for the eventual use of these procedures, as refined through a series of field and other tests, in a planned new ("re-engineered") Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) survey scheduled to go into production in 2014. In order to maximize information yield, the 2010 field test included a number of special features and activities, among which was the recording of some of the interviews. This report describes those procedures, their implementation outcomes in the 2010 field test, the methods used to analyze the recordings, and the results of those analyses.
