It is great to be able to wrap up interviewing in one month. Does your contractor have a target response rate to meet? If that target is not met in one month will they continue to interview longer?

Calls will be made from April until the beginning of June. Our contractor usually uses a 4-week interview window for phone surveys as it is better to have a tight interview window for the reasons mentioned in the previous email.

No only does this help with the issues you describe, but it allows additional time to compile and report the survey data. Robert Shepherd PIAR at SUNY Potsdam New York _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harrison, Beth Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 1:09 PM To: npsoserv@lists.uoregon.edu Subject: [NPSO]: question about one year out Hello, all. We are to collect post school outcome data on students who exited school in the spring of '06 beginning in April '07 and continuing through September, '07. How are states addressing the fact that outcomes for students interviewed at the beginning of that 6 month period may look very different from outcomes of students interviewed near the end of the 6 month window? For example, a potential respondent might well be enrolled in college in September, but not in April, or may have been enrolled in April but have dropped out by mid-Summer. Are any states voluntarily tightening the interview window? Thanks in advance! Beth M.
