Overview Research Highlights Status of Major Tests Summary: Toward Preliminary Design Decisions

Research Highlights

Targeted Address Canvassing Implement a Targeted Address Canvassing (TAC) operation prior to the 2020 Census –Master Address File (MAF) Error Model project efforts to develop statistical models to produce estimates of coverage error Evaluate the MAF Error Models and to provide input to TAC modeling team: –National test to be implemented in Summer 2014 –Creating an extract of addresses from the MAF. Canvassing in selected blocks will result in verified, added, and deleted addresses.

Optimizing Self-Response Leverage technology, variation in demographic/geographic response propensities, and new response modes to increase self- response while maintaining overall quality Increased diversity of population presents challenges to relying extensively on the traditional methods for self-response Identify a mix of modes and strategies to increase self-response and reduce costs Research and implement response options that reflect the current communications environment –Leverage the Internet –Use new communications strategies, such as and social media

Field Reengineering Reengineer the approach and management of field enumeration by streamlining and automating operations and more efficiently planning and controlling field activities Manage cases with associated business rules and technology (e.g., use of automation and case routing) Determine the roles and responsibilities within the field structure Consolidate field operations (e.g., combined/reconceptualized operations and staff activities) Determine the appropriate structure for field operations (e.g., number and size of office and work force)

Utilize administrative records and adaptive design to reduce NRFU workload and increase NRFU productivity Administrative Records Reduce the number of cases that need to be resolved in NRFU to reduce cost while preserving data quality Determine the timing of removing cases (e.g., removal of unoccupied housing units first, occupied units after one visit) Impute housing units that remain unresolved after field work Adaptive Design Reengineer field operations to reduce the number of contact attempts, leveraging dynamic case management, route planning, and other methodologies (e.g., prioritizing cases on a daily basis) to improve worker productivity NRFU Reengineering

2013 Census Test

Overview Examined operational feasibility of the use of administrative records and adaptive contact strategy tailored to each household to reduce NRFU workload and increase productivity Sample size of 2,700 housing units in Philadelphia, drawn from Census 2010 NRFU universe Four panels that combined contact treatments (fixed and adaptive) with use of administrative records

Study Objectives An operational study of nonresponse followup (NRFU) procedures Use administrative records to “enumerate” some housing units Try an adaptive design approach for cases not enumerated with records and compare with fixed approach Examine two telephone methods Reduced number of contact attempts from 2010 Secondary objectives: Examine cost and data quality across treatments

Results Productivity Using Administrative Records to Reduce Workload Enumerators were approximately 20% less efficient when workload was reduced with records Cases remaining after workload is reduced are more difficult But interviewers spent approximately 22% fewer hours Overall enumerator cost is reduced

Results Productivity Using Adaptive Case Management Interviewers were 22% more efficient in the adaptive design treatments This pattern holds whether workload was reduced with records or not Interviewers in the adaptive groups averaged approximately four more contacts per interviewer/day

Results Productivity Using Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) before Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) CATI implementation before CAPI leads to 12-14% decrease in productivity Combines CATI and CAPI hours Productivity = CATI hours + CAPI hours/Number of cases

2014 Census Test

Test self-response and non-response field components to obtain results to answer research questions to inform preliminary design decisions for the 2020 Census. Scope of the test includes: –Incorporating the testing of the self-response modes and the contact strategies for pre-registration – and automated voice invitations –Testing of the mobile devices that are used for followup enumeration with non-responders in the field Overview

Scope of the test includes (cont.): –Testing of alternative contact strategies (telephone or personal visit) for non-responders –Using administrative records to remove cases from the non- responding workload –Applying adaptive design methodologies in managing the way field enumerators are assigned their work Overview (cont.)

Scheduled to begin in July 2014 in the Washington, DC area –Housing units selected from portions of Montgomery County, MD and DC Test area of approximately 300,000 housing units –Select approximately 200,000 of those housing units for the test –Approximately 46,000 will receive personal visits as followup Use findings from 2014 Census Test, in addition to the cost/benefit analysis, to inform the larger test scheduled for FY 2015 that will provide the basis for operational design decisions Overview (cont.)

Self-Response Operation Eight panels to compare response rates, cost, and data quality across five contact/enumeration strategies Test strategies with a continuum of Internet access options and a variety of contact strategies to: –Determine respondent behavior when offered the opportunity to select a contact strategy in advance through a registration website or portal –Allow respondents to provide data via Internet without Census ID

Self-Response Operation (cont.) Test strategies with a continuum of Internet access options and a variety of contact strategies to (cont.): –Continue research on Mail Push Internet contact strategy –Introduce as a mechanism for initial contact and reminder –Promotion of Telephone Questionnaire Assistance for data collection for respondents with and without Census ID

NRFU Operation Compare completion rates, cost, and data quality across several strategies aimed at reducing the cost of NRFU. –Modify contact strategies by reducing the number of contacts, making more use of telephone for contact, and applying adaptive design methods to manage field work. –Use administrative records to enumerate cases

NRFU Operation (cont.) Send a request to housing units (selected for this test) to complete a census questionnaire online. –A subset of housing units that do not respond to repeated reminders to complete an online questionnaire will be eligible for the NRFU operation (via administrative records, telephone, or personal visit).

Four panels –One control panel (closely resembling NRFU strategy from 2010) –Three experimental panels Experimental panels will test the main effects and selected interactions among the following treatments: –Use of a reduced contact strategy –Use of administrative records data to enumerate NRFU cases –Use of an adaptive strategy for managing the NRFU workload NRFU Operation (cont.)

Summary: Toward Preliminary Design Decisions Research and testing activities in FY 2014 and FY 2015 are critical to making preliminary design decisions by the end of FY The areas of focus are: Field Reengineering Targeted Address Canvassing Nonresponse Followup using Administrative Records and Adaptive Design Optimizing Self-Response
