Terms of Clearance:
1. The PRA statement, OMB control number and expiration date must appear on all study materials that will be viewed by potential and actual participants. See in particular, the screener, brochure and consent form. Ensure this also appears on the book covers. 2. Children under the age of majority cannot give informed consent. Where books are completed by children ages 11 and older, but under the age of majority, ensure that the legal guardian signs the consent on the book cover on behalf of the child. 3. The results of the cognitive lab tests regarding the instruction quality of the training video must be described in a supplementary document and loaded into ROCIS. The final training video and its translations must be submitted as non-substantive change prior to field implementation. 4. We encourage ERS to retain sufficient flexibility in its recruitment approach and data collection protocols so as to make changes if response rates are significantly lower than expected for certain subgroups or item non-response is high for certain aspects of the protocol. OMB will work with ERS to quickly process non-substantive changes. In these cases, supporting documentation that should include monthly documentation (not than 2 pages in length) detailing the following: a. for SNAP and non-SNAP participants separately, the cases released, target, last period, current period completion rates for screeners, consents, each in person visit, each telephone call, and completed number of food books (Primary Respondent, Adult, and Youth). b. for SNAP and non-SNAP participants separately, target, last period, and current period median and mean interview length for initial and final household CAPI interviews and the phone calls. c. a similar table to describe the status of cases worked through the non-response subsample follow up. For each of these tables, a description of outliers, anomalies or field issues would be discussed, with action items to be taken. We understand that ERS will be using this model or similar to monitor and evaluate ongoing data collection; OMB will consider a variant of this report if already planned by ERS to avoid duplication of effort. We assume that ERS will be examining these data weekly internally, although OMB would see only monthly reports. ERS will share with OMB the planned table shells once they are ready. 4. ERS will share its data quality analysis as well as their characterization of the caveats and limitations associated with the final database with OMB before disseminating either the data or any analytic results.
