(INTERVIEWER READ TO R:)

The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, asks you to participate in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, Round 26. This survey is conducted to understand your generation's career, labor market, and family experiences.

Your participation remains vital to the success of this study and is voluntary. As always, you may decline to answer specific questions, or end the interview at any point. Personal identifiers will be secured in confidence and will not be released to the public without your consent. All personnel associated with this study are legally bound to protect the security and confidentiality of information you provide. Parts of this interview may be recorded for quality control purposes. This will not compromise the confidentiality of your responses.

As in previous rounds of the survey, we will ask about experiences you may have had with employment, education and training, family life/household dynamics, health, income, attitudes and preparation for retirement. The information will continue to help researchers identify how to make important life transitions more successful.

You will receive a cash gift of $[(r fee)+(any missed interview fee)+(any child fee)] as a token of appreciation for your participation. [This includes $[msfee] for the questions you will be answering about your child(ren).]

(READ IF PERSONAL INTERVIEW:
In order that your answers to our questions are not biased by anyone else's presence, it is necessary that we conduct the interview in private.)

(INTERVIEWER: PLEASE INFORM RESPONDENT OF THE RESPONDENT FEE HE OR SHE IS ELIGIBLE FOR.)

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 to try to contact you for future interviews.
