Data Collection and Survey Methods
Data Collection
Data collection utilized the VOXCO CATI software program and began on May 15, 2008 and ended on June 6, 2008. A total of 1,362 completed cases were collected: 1281 in English and 81 in Spanish.
Call attempts took place each day of the week (Monday through Sunday). Calls on weekdays were made in the evening from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm. On Saturdays, the calling window was from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, and on Sundays from noon to 7:00 pm. If a respondent requested or suggested a call back at a time outside of this range, an attempt was made to accommodate the request within the hours of 8am to 9pm Central time zone.
Some people are reluctant to participate in surveys and may give a variety of reasons. For example, when contacted by an interviewer, potential respondents may tell the interviewer that they are too busy, not interested, are suspicious of the call, or think the call is taking too long. When this occurred, these were coded as first refusals or soft refusals and were re-contacted after several days to a week had passed since many people are willing to participate in a survey if they are called again at a time more convenient for them. Attempts to contact a potential respondent were discontinued if the potential respondent gave two soft refusals. More strongly worded refusals—for example, refusals in which the respondent asked to be taken off the list, yelled, made threats, or used profanity—were coded as hard refusals and were not re-contacted.

A total of 2,879 sample records were received in conducting this study. At the onset of the project, the sample was reduced to 2,790 callable records due to missing telephone information and duplicate records. After the initial sample release subsequent ‘waves’ of dialing included refusal conversion to non-final refusal records to maximize sample records.
As shown in Table C, for telephone numbers that eventually resulted in a completed interview, a maximum of ten call attempts were made to convert the initial non-final disposition, such as no answer, busy, or answering machine, to a completed interview. Final dispositions are permanent and would close the record from further dialing.

Interviewer Training
All interviewers assigned to this survey were trained, experienced interviewers. Prior to beginning work on the survey, interviewers went through a detailed project briefing. This briefing entailed the following:
- Summary of project purpose and its importance.
- Answers to anticipated “frequently asked questions” (FAQ’s).
- Question by question review of intent of question, acceptable responses, and special instructions for each question.
- Practice in conducting the interview.
- Intensive monitoring of the first interview until the interviewer is performing flawlessly.
Confidentiality of Data
PTV DataSource recognizes that education related surveys require specific measures to ensure respondent confidentiality is committed to adhering to and enforcing appropriate confidentiality measures. This includes with all staff members who will be involved with project efforts as well as technology-based security of all data. Our project programs involved dual password settings so as to prevent access of any non-project team members. In addition, we abide by the Marketing Research Association’s (MRA) recommended industry-wide practices to protect both client and respondent confidentiality.
All PTV DataSource employees involved with the project were required to sign non-disclosure agreements, which were sent to ESC Region XI for verification and filing.
Quality Control
A multi-stage QC process was utilized throughout the duration of the study including the following:
- A comprehensive Interviewer-training (specifically focused on understanding and proper delivery of the CATI questionnaire).
- Expert program design input and detailed and redundant program testing.
- Dedicated, permanent team of Managers, Trainers, Supervisors and Interviewers.
- On-site and off-site monitoring of interviewers’ efforts by project-specific QC leaders.
- On-going, constant dual data reviews being conducted by data collection leaders and by NuStats data cleaning team throughout the entire data collection period.
- Electronic tracking of interviewers’ performance – dialing statistics, completed interviews, refusals, non-contacts, average interview lengths.
- Electronic tracking of survey progress – sample dispositions, quotas, frequencies.
- Electronic sample management – up-to-date status of each piece of sample along with customized and flexible dialing algorithms.
Live, full monitoring of CATI interviews that was led by project-dedicated Quality Control Managers and Supervisors served as the cornerstone of the QC process for this study. With computer assisted telephone interviewing, full monitoring sessions, where a conversation between an Interviewer and a respondent is not only heard but also viewed through remote visual monitoring, are the most efficient and reliable method for ensuring that Interviewers are reading scripts verbatim as well as accurately recording all data provided by respondents.
In addition, dual project data reviews were also a key part of the overall QC process. On a shift-by-shift basis, the PTV DataSourceQC team actively checked data within the dialing program to identify any potential outlier data and to conduct immediate plausibility checks. This dual system helped to ensure that the PTV DataSourceQC team was able to quickly correct any potential data issues and to also administer immediate remedial training for specific Interviewers
Data Cleansing and Final Preparation
Data tabulation was conducted NuStats. NuStats performed several QA/QC checks on the raw data to verify that there were no missing data items, inconsistencies, or duplicates. NuStats continued to run frequencies with the raw data in SPSS to provide an independent verification of the quality of the data.
If the raw data passed this QA/QC test, NuStats would run the tabulations and conduct a series of documented and proven QA/QC checks. At any point where numbers did not seem to be in sync, the QA/QC manager sent the data back to the statistical analyst who would return to the raw data checking again for potential issues. The QA/QC manager also carefully reviewed each table and performed a thorough QA/QC check for missing data items, missing codes, totals not adding up, and any unusual formatting items.
Upon completion of the data cleaning and analysis, final datasets were developed into the SPSS format.
