Abstract

In 2016, cognitive testing of the Agricultural Labor Survey’s computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) script detected a number of issues with the questions used to categorize workers. As a result, revisions were made to the CATI script and a field test was conducted to compare performance of the revised script to the original CATI script. Behavior coding was also performed on a subset of interviews conducted using the original and revised versions of the survey. The goal of the behavior coding was to evaluate interviewer behavior across the two versions of the survey. Results of the behavior coding showed that neither of the instruments were administered appropriately at an acceptable rate. However, questions designed to categorize agricultural workers into major categories and subcategories were administered as worded more often when interviewers used the revised instrument.
