Proposed Project
Questionnaire Design Research
Laboratory (QDRL) 2007–2009, (OMB
No. 0920–0222)—Extension—National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Questionnaire Design Research
Laboratory (QDRL) conducts
questionnaire pre-testing and evaluation
activities for CDC surveys (such as the
NCHS National Health Interview
E:\FR\FM\01MYN1.SGM
01MYN1
25591
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 83 / Monday, May 1, 2006 / Notices
Survey, OMB No. 0920–0214) and other
federally sponsored surveys. The QDRL
conducts cognitive interviews, focus
groups, mini field-pretests, and
experimental research in laboratory and
field settings, both for applied
questionnaire evaluation and more basic
research on response errors in surveys.
The most common questionnaire
evaluation method is the cognitive
interview. In a cognitive interview, a
questionnaire design specialist
interviews a volunteer participant. The
interviewer administers the draft survey
questions as written, but also probes the
participant in depth about
interpretations of questions, recall
processes used to answer them, and
adequacy of response categories to
express answers, while noting points of
confusion and errors in responding.
Interviews are generally conducted in
small rounds of 10–15 interviews;
ideally, the questionnaire is re-worked
between rounds and revisions are tested
iteratively until interviews yield
relatively few new insights. When
possible, cognitive interviews are
conducted in the survey’s intended
mode of administration. For example,
when testing telephone survey
questionnaires, participants often
respond to the questions via a telephone
in a laboratory room. Under this
condition, the participant answers
without face-to-face interaction. QDRL
staff watch for response difficulties from
an observation room, and then conduct
a face-to-face debriefing with in-depth
probes. Cognitive interviewing provides
useful data on questionnaire
performance at minimal cost and
respondent burden. Similar
methodology has been adopted by other
federal agencies, as well as by academic
and commercial survey organizations.
NCHS is requesting 3 years of OMB
Clearance for the project. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time.
