CARI sample is a Wave 2 interview,
while the 2012 SIPP–EHC sample will
be in its third wave for 2013. The CARI
recordings will not be limited to only
the previously recorded cases; instead,
the sample will contain both previously
recorded cases and some Wave 3 cases
that will be recorded in 2013. This is a
critical evaluation, as evidence from
external surveys suggests that simply
asking the consent question could be
associated with a significant increase in
survey length. External researchers at
the Institute for Social Research at the
University of Michigan suspect that
improved FR adherence to protocol is
one of the sources for the longer
interviews. Additionally, we need
information on the association between
CARI, interview length, and interview
quality.
By reviewing the recorded portions of
the interview, quality assurance analysts
can evaluate the likelihood that the
exchange between the field
representative and respondent is
authentic and follows critical survey
protocol as defined by the sponsor and
based on best practices. The 2013 SIPP–
EHC field test instrument will utilize
the CARI Interactive Data Access
System (CARI System), an innovative,
integrated, multifaceted monitoring
system that features a configurable webbased interface for behavior coding,
quality assurance, and coaching. This
system assists in coding interviews for
measuring question and interviewer
performance and the interaction
between interviewers and respondents.
Approximately 3,000 households are
expected to be interviewed for the 2013
SIPP–EHC field test, which is comprised
of approximately 2,000 cases returning
for a third wave from the 2012 SIPP–
EHC and approximately 1,000 cases
returning for a second wave from the
2012 SIPP–EHC CARI. We estimate that
each household contains 2.1 people
aged 15 and above, yielding
approximately 6,300 person-level
interviews in this field test. Interviews
take 60 minutes per adult on average,
consequently the total annual burden
for 2013 SIPP–EHC field test interviews
will be 6,300 hours in FY 2013.

II. Method of Collection
The 2013 SIPP–EHC field test
instrument will consist of one
household interview that will reference
the calendar year 2012. The interview is
conducted in person with all household
members 15 years old or over using
regular proxy-respondent rules.
