The criteria are anticipated impacts on cost, quality of data, whether the topic would require a new census component process, and whether it was accomplishable. Finally, the last block of columns provides information on whether the topic was better suited to 2010 or 2020 and whether a census environment was needed to assess alternatives to current census processes.

What are the effects of recall errors and reporting errors on the CCM interview? A.3 Can we start to learn if comparing the history of census 1 No Yes No Yes, as a No Yes Maybe operations with the CCM results in the sample blocks can feasibility study help us explain how and when errors occur, and also suggest in small number potential remedies?

C.8 Develop and experimentally evaluate alternative designs 1 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes for coverage followup instruments. Alternative methodologies might involve dependent questions; selfresponse by all relevant household members; immediate follow-up; and other methodological improvements to facilitate recall and reporting in CFU (i.e., conduct an integrated experiment)

and wording of questions and response categories, and placement in the form. Residency Rules/Questionnaire Design C.11 Implement and experimentally evaluate alternative 2 No Yes No Yes No Yes Yes, for some residence rules and presentation of roster instructions in aspects paper and other modes, including the National Academy of Sciences (NAS)

Are there ways to improve accuracy? C.14 Through ethnographic research, can we learn more 2 No Yes No Yes No Yes Yes about American Indian and Alaska Native households, Hispanic households, and immigrant communities that might result in different methods for enumeration?

in particular, determine but also errors in other short form items. Possible research interviewer approaches might include: an interviewer variance study, in contribution to which interviewer assignments are randomized, or assigning error.

Is it worth it to verify the QC work? D.8 Can a batch level approach to re-interview sampling 3 Yes Yes No Yes No Yes Yes improve efficiency and/or effectiveness of field re-interview operations?

In general, this study would examine feasible from a response distributions (or reliability and other data quality field/budget/ measures) for the 2010 mail items compared to the adapted schedule versions used in 2010 for other modes; comparable random standpoint.

From page 70... ...
This experiment that research would compare the 2010 mail mode content to reduces/ alternative adaptations of the specific content items for other eliminates the modes. These alternative versions for the non-mail modes self-selection are adaptations, which show promise in terms of providing bias is complex comparable data to the mail form, but were not used in the and may not be 2010 census.

This contact would contain environment is stronger language, relative to the reminder postcard and optimal but at replacement questionnaire, indicating that failure to comply least site test is would mean inclusion in the Nonresponse Followup required to (NRFU)
