A complete survey topic categorization for the UAS can be found here. 1.2 Experiments This survey did not include any experiments. A complete survey experiment categorization for the UAS can be found here. 1.3 Citation Each publication, press release or other document that cites results from this survey must include an acknowledgment of UAS as the data source and a disclaimer such as, ‘The project described in this paper relies on data from survey(s) administered by the Understanding America Study, which is maintained by the Center for Economic and Social Research (CESR) at the University of Southern California. The content of this paper is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of USC or UAS.’ For any questions or more information about the UAS, contact Tania Gutsche, Project and Panel Manager, Center for Economic and Social Research, University of Southern California, at tgutsche@usc.edu. 3 2 ROUTING SYNTAX The survey with routing presented in the next section includes all of the questions that make up this survey, the question answers when choices were provided, and the question routing. The routing includes descriptions of when questions are grouped, conditional logic that determines when questions are presented to the respondent, randomization of questions and answers, and fills of answers from one question to another. If you are unfamiliar with conditional logic statements, they are typically formatted so that if the respondent fulfills some condition (e.g. they have a cellphone or a checking account), then they are presented with some other question or the value of some variable is changed. If the respondent does not fulfill the condition (e.g. they are not a cellphone adopter or they do not have a checking account), something else happens such as skipping the next question or changing the variable to some other value. Some of the logic involved in the randomization of questions or answers being presented to the respondent is quite complex, and in these instances there is documentation to clarify the process being represented by the routing. Because logic syntax standards vary, here is a brief introduction to our syntax standards. The syntax used in the conditional statements is as follows: ‘=ı́s equal to, ‘<ı́s less than, ‘>ı́s greater than, and ‘!=ı́s used for does not equal. When a variable is set to some number N, the statement looks like ‘variable := N´. The formatting of the questions and routing are designed to make it easier to interpret what is occurring at any given point in the survey. Question ID is the bold text at the top of a question block, followed by the question text and the answer selections. When a question or variable has associated data, the name links to the appropriate data page, so you can easily get directly to the data. Text color is used to indicate the routing: red is conditional logic, gold is question grouping, green is looping, and orange is used to document randomization and other complex conditional logic processes. The routing is written for a computer to parse rather than a human to read, so when the routing diverges significantly from what is displayed to the respondent, a screenshot of what the respondent saw is included. The name of the randomization variables are defined in proximity to where they are put into play, and like the question ID the names of the randomization variables can be used to link directly to the associated data page. 4 3 SURVEY WITH ROUTING /* The My Household survey was first fielded in April of 2014. In January of 2015 the survey was updated to include some additional questions. In 2018 it was updated once more to include a renewed consent question. The routing below describes the updated survey. However, on several occasions pseudo-code is included to indicate how the survey handles respondents that did the original My Household survey and then the updated versions as well as respondents that never did the original one but rather only the updated one. */ /* The data provided in the My Household data set is cleaned to match the standard variables listed here. The variables are cleaned conform the mapping from the raw to cleaned UAS standard variables as described here */ IF /* Respondent has already taken My Household /* THEN /* If the respondent did not give consent yet in the initial survey asking them to join, consent is asked */ IF consentgiven != 1 THEN preconsent (pre consent message in section Myhousehold) Thank you for your interest in being part of the Understanding America Study. On the next page you will see a consent form to review before you begin taking surveys with us. If you have any questions about this form or any of our surveys, please contact us at 1-855-872-8673. consent (R consent in section Myhousehold) You are invited to participate in a research study conducted by Arie Kapteyn, Ph.D., at the University of Southern California, because you are an adult living in the United States. This study is funded by private foundations, internal research funding, other universities and federal funding. Your participation is voluntary. You should read the information below, and ask questions about anything you do not understand, before deciding whether to participate. Please take as much time as you need to read the consent form. You may also decide to discuss participation with your family or friends. If you decide to participate, you will be asked to agree at the bottom of this screen. We can send you a copy if you request it from uashelp@usc.edu. Purpose of the study The study has three main goals. First, as researchers, we are interested in understanding people’s life experiences: what they do, how they think and feel, the challenges they face and how all that may change over time. We are trying to paint an accurate picture of the daily lives and opinions of people in the U.S. Second, we want to reach out to organizations that affect all our lives, such as federal and local governments. They want to know how their decisions impact us and 5 what we think. Your answers will help these organizations understand the priorities and needs of people living in America. Third, we are trying to improve our surveys. Sometimes you will see unusual questions or notice you are asked a question similar to something you have been asked already. Please answer all the questions anyway, since we are trying to learn the best, most efficient way to ask questions. Study procedures If you volunteer to participate in this study, we will contact you to complete a survey online approximately once every month using the contact information you provide us. The surveys you will be requested to take may vary based on what the researchers are studying. For example some surveys may be for people who are working now, while others may be for people who are retired or for people age 60 and older. Potential risks and discomforts There are no anticipated risks. Potential benefits to participants and/or to society There are no direct benefits to participants, but the research and results being studied we anticipate to have benefits for society. Payment/compensation for participation You will be paid $20 for every 30 minutes of survey time. For shorter surveys you will be paid proportionally less. Confidentiality We will keep your records for this study confidential as far as permitted by law. However, if we are required to do so by law, we will disclose confidential information about you. The members of the research team, the funding agency and the University of Southern California’s Human Subjects Protection Program (HSPP) may access the data. The HSPP reviews and monitors research studies to protect the rights and welfare of research subjects. The data will be stored on encrypted servers at USC. Your name and address and other personal information will be stored separately from your survey responses. We only use your name and address in order to send payments and notify you of new surveys. Only the technical director (Albert Weerman), the study manager (Tania Gutsche) and study coordinator (Mark Gonzalez) and help desk staff will have access to your personal information. Researchers will have access to survey data which is not associated with your name in any way. We plan on this study continuing for numerous years. We will keep the study data indefinitely and it may be used in future research studies or shared with other researchers. If you do not want your data used in other studies, or shared with 6 other researchers, you should not participate in this study. Certificate of confidentiality To help us protect your privacy, we have obtained a Certificate of Confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health. The researchers can use this Certificate to legally refuse to disclose information that may identify you in any federal, state, or local civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, or other proceedings, for example, if there is a court subpoena. The researchers will use the Certificate to resist any demands for information that would identify you. Participation and withdrawal Your participation is voluntary. Your refusal to participate will involve no penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled. You may withdraw your consent at any time and discontinue participation without penalty. You are not waiving any legal claims, rights or remedies because of your participation in this research study. It is possible that some time in the future the study no will longer receive enough funding to be sustainable. Should this occur, we will notify you and deliver all earned rewards.
