Findings and Recommendations from Round 2 of Cognitive Testing the New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey (NYCHVS)
Findings and Recommendations from Round 2 of Cognitive Testing the New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey (NYCHVS)
Working Paper Number rsm2020-05
Abstract
In collaboration with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), the U.S. Census Bureau’s Center for Behavioral Science Methods (CBSM) conducted two rounds of cognitive testing for the New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey (NYCHVS). Both rounds were conducted to test new and revised content across several pre-existing modules, including modules on housing quality, residential history, and utilities. Testing in both rounds also compared two versions of a module on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). In addition to testing content, goals for revision of the NYCHVS include adapting the instrument from an interviewer-administered paper survey to the CAPI mode. The purpose of this report is to document findings and recommendations from the second round of cognitive testing in English, which was conducted in October of 2019 and consisted of 18 cognitive interviews in English with New York City residents.
