April 2011 through May 2012. The
FHWAR is authorized under the Fish
and Wildlife Act of 1956 and the
Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration
Programs Improvement Act of 2000. The
Census Bureau is authorized to conduct
the FHWAR under Title 13, United
States Code Section 8(b). The FHWAR
data, collected approximately every five
years, assist Federal and State agencies
in administering the Sport Fish and
Wildlife Restoration grant programs and
provide up-to-date information on the
uses and demands for wildlife-related
recreation resources, trends in uses of
those resources, and a basis for
developing and evaluating programs
and projects to meet existing and future
needs.
The FHWAR is an address-based
survey conducted in three waves whose
sample is selected from the Master
Address File. In 2011, because of
limited funding, we had to modify our
data collection procedure from
computer-assisted personal interviewing
(CAPI) to mostly computer-assisted
telephone interviewing (CATI) with
limited CAPI to stay within budget. In
an attempt to collect household phone
numbers for CATI, we had the
telephone center conduct a telephone
research operation and we matched our
addresses to a locating vendor.
Unfortunately, neither operation had a
high success rate in obtaining the
correct phone numbers for our
addresses. This caused the Wave 1 CATI
response rates to plummet. Wave 2 and
Wave 3 CATI did better because the
majority of the telephone numbers were
provided by the respondents in Wave 1.
Because our 2011 methodology for
obtaining phone numbers did not work
as expected, we (Census and FWS)
would like to research new
methodologies to collect household
phone numbers for our sample
addresses through a pre-screener test.
The purpose of the test will be to
determine what percentage of
households will return a mail or
Internet questionnaire with a telephone
number that reaches the sample address.
This proposed research is directly
related to the 2011 FHWAR and is vital
for future iterations of the survey since
the majority of interviewing will
continue in CATI which is less
expensive than CAPI.
The pre-screener test is a two-part
test. The first part of the test is a mail
operation that will ask household
respondents to complete a pre-screener
survey by paper questionnaire or by
Internet for the purpose of obtaining
household telephone numbers, verifying
the sample address, and obtaining
general household-level information on
