Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau
has committed to using the Internet as
a primary response option in the 2020
Census. However, much research is
needed throughout the next decade to
develop and implement a successful,
secure, and user-friendly online
instrument. The Census Bureau must
conduct a series of research projects and
tests throughout this decade to fulfill its
commitment to provide the public with
an option to complete their 2020
Decennial Census questionnaire on the
Internet. One of the first tests to support
this planning effort is the 2012 National
Census Test (NCT).
The 2012 NCT seeks to build on
previous Internet data collection
research in order to set the stage for the
Internet testing cycle for the 2020
Census. The main objective is to test
new, dynamic approaches for collecting
the number of people in a household,
which are not feasible on a paper
questionnaire. The anticipated use of
the Internet as a primary mode of selfresponse in the 2020 Census offers the
unique opportunity to incorporate
conditional residence probes. By
making optimal use of electronic data
collection for delivery of coverage
probes, we can gain a better
understanding of who was living in a
household on Census Day, thereby
greatly reducing (or potentially
eliminating) the need for the costly
Coverage Followup (CFU) operation.
The goal is to optimize the residence
rules presentation for the Internet mode
and identify validated methods for
determining residency. We will utilize a
real-time, targeted, probing coverage
reinterview conducted by telephone to
evaluate the accuracy of withinhousehold coverage by comparing the
final household population roster for
the Internet Test households to the final
reinterview roster for the same
households.
As a secondary objective of the 2012
NCT, the Census Bureau aims to study
the relative response rates associated
with various contact strategies under an
Internet Push methodology, in an effort
to obtain early response rate indicators
for the 2020 Census. The 2012 Internet
Test sets the stage for future testing by
making important strides in obtaining a
select subset of contact strategy options
that can be validated in later middecade tests. Various contact strategies
involving optimizing the Internet push
strategy are proposed, such as
implementing relatively less expensive
reminders both before and after the
questionnaire mailing, which builds off
recent American Community Survey
(ACS) results. Also included is the
removal of the advance letter mailing,

new motivational wording and varying
the timing of the questionnaire mailing
to optimize self-response.
Additionally, without impact to
sample size, the 2012 NCT offers the
opportunity to gain knowledge about
how to optimize the presentation of the
race and Hispanic origin questions.
Results from the 2010 Alternative
Questionnaire Experiment reveal that
the combination of the race and
Hispanic origin question approach
appears to be a promising strategy for
collecting these data items. As an
additional secondary objective, the
Census Bureau plans to continue this
research by implementing two versions
of a combined race and Hispanic origin
question as part of the 2012 NCT. In
addition, this data collection will
incorporate the use of predictive text to
automate and streamline the race and
Hispanic origin coding processes. This
component allows for near-real-time
data processing by increasing the speed
of automated coding, thus reducing and/
or eliminating back-end processing.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13, United
States Code, Section 141, 193, and 225.
