SSM2014-06
Executive Summary
The American Community Survey (ACS) is a household survey conducted by the United States Census Bureau that collects data from American households used by numerous federal agencies. As part of the ongoing review of the questions included in the survey, the Census Bureau called for the conduct of 180 cognitive interviews using the American Community Survey (ACS) Spanish and English Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) and Spanish and English Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) data collection instruments. This pretesting research was divided into three separate and independent sections: Section I (Demographic questions also included in the Decennial census), Section II (Housing questions), and Section III (Additional person level questions). Each section was pretested as part of a separate phase of the research, referred to as Phases I, II, and III respectively. For each of the three phases, there were two rounds of cognitive interviews administered. This report documents the work completed as part of Phase I.
