Title:
   Evaluation of 2014 Refresher Training: Descriptive Analysis
Product type:
   Working Paper 14003
MEPS component:
   Household Component
Publication date:
   January 27, 2015
Description:
   In 2014 Westat held an in-person refresher training designed explicitly for experienced interviewers that focused primarily on techniques for enhancing the quality and completeness of respondent recall and reporting of health care events. Throughout all stages of the Data Quality Initiative, training emphasized interviewer behaviors and skills, and interviewing procedural changes geared towards minimizing recall error, without making significant changes to the computer assisted personal interview (CAPI) instrument. The bulk of the changes to the training program addressed underreporting of health care events by focusing on interviewer skills and behaviors that can facilitate better recall.
