Abstract:
The Census Bureau requests a new OMB generic clearance to conduct a variety of medium-scale iterative Internet research pretesting activities. Cost efficiencies can occur by testing some research questions in a medium-scale test, using a smaller number of participants than what we \ use in a field test, yet a larger and more diverse set of participants than we test in a cognitive or usability tests. Using this clearance, we can answer some research questions more thoroughly than in the small-scale testing, but less expensively than in the large-scale test. This generic clearance seeks to establish a medium-scale (defined as having sample sizes from 100-2000 per study), cost-efficient method of testing questions and contact strategies over the Internet through a nonprobability sample.
