NLSY97 YOUTH QUESTIONNAIRE (ROUND 8)

4/19/2005

PATCH #5

(INTERVIEWER READ TO R:)

The U.S. Department of Labor asks you to participate in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, Round 8, a survey of how young people make the transition from schooling to the establishment of their careers and families.

This study is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Your participation is vital to the success of this study. This study is voluntary, and you may decline to answer specific questions. You also may end the interview at any point. You will receive $20 as a token of appreciation for participating in the study. This survey is conducted to understand the labor market experiences of young adults. Personal identifiers such as name, address, and social security number will be held in confidence and will not be released to the public without your consent. All personnel associated with this study have signed a legal document in which they pledge to protect the confidentiality of the information that survey participants provide.

The survey will relate youth's family, community background, and schooling to the establishment of their careers and independent households. As you may remember from previous rounds of the survey, the questionnaire covers such topics as schooling, job training, marriage, alcohol and drug use, sexual behavior, fertility, criminal activity, employment, income, and assets. The information will help researchers to identify how to make these transitions more successful.

INTERVIEWER: ATTEMPT TO GAIN R'S CONSENT TO PROCEED WITH THE INTERVIEW. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO GAIN CONSENT, BREAK OFF THE INTERVIEW AT THIS POINT AND MAKE A RECORD OF ALL INFORMATION THAT COULD BE USEFUL IN GAINING THE RESPONDENT'S COOPERATION AT A LATER DATE.

We appreciate your help in answering these questions. At the end of this survey I will ask you some questions that may help us contact you in the future. By sharing this contact information, you give your permission for us to use it for the purpose of locating you for future interviews. In attempting to locate you, we will never reveal any of the answers you've provided to the survey questions.

If the contacts you've provided do not know how to get in touch with you, but offer the names of other people who may be able to help us locate you, may we contact them?

If we are not able to locate you through this information, may we search for you using commercial locator services or public records?

If you are or were to become a member of the Armed Forces, or if you were to enter a correctional facility or a residential care facility, may we contact government or other administrative officials to get their help in locating and interviewing you? When attempting to locate and interview you, we may reveal the fact that you are a participant in this survey. However, as stated earlier, we will never reveal any of the answers you've provided to the survey questions.

Let's begin with some questions about where and with whom you've been living since your last interview. When we interviewed you on [lintdate~X], you were living at [prev_address_street]. Since [lintdate~X] have you ever lived at a different address?

Not including where you were living at the time of last interview, [prev_address_street], how many different addresses have you lived at for more than a month?

Since [lintdate~X], have you moved from one state, city, or county to another?

As you answer these next questions about who lives in your household, please tell us about the household you are currently living in.

INTERVIEWER: If R LIVES IN DORMITORY, PRISON, OR OTHER GROUP QUARTERS, PLEASE READ: The people in your household are the people that you usually live with, for example, a close roommate or someone you split chores with. Many people who live in dormitories, hospitals, or other institutions live in one-person households.

We are interested in knowing about the people you usually live with, even if you move from place to place together. If you usually live alone, or with different people at different times, then I will record that you are the only member of your household.

Here is a list of people who lived in your household when we last interviewed you. It may help you tell me who usually lives in your household now. First, please tell me which of these people, if any, do not usually live in your current household at this time?

INTERVIEWER: PLEASE CLICK ON "DELETE ROW" NEXT TO EACH PERSON WHO IS NO LONGER LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
