About this study
Official title: Cognitive Interviewing of Survey Items for a Computer Adaptive Test of Parent Knowledge and Beliefs
Participants will complete a survey (The Family Supports and Beliefs Survey), which will measure their existing beliefs about the role of societal resources in supporting families and young children. Participants will randomly see one of four fictional scenarios and then be asked questions related to that scenario as well as items related to stress and self-efficacy. We hypothesize that the type of scenario a participant is presented with before taking a survey may affect how they answer subsequent questions.
This survey is being administered as part of a broader project designed to test items that are being developed for a new measure, the Survey of Parent/Provider Expectations and Knowledge Computer Adaptive Test (SPEAK CAT).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Low SES/High SupportsBehavioural
Participant will read the following scenario: Michael and Kim are a young couple living with their 2-year-old child. Michael works as a janitor in a residential building, while Kim works as a cashier in a supermarket. Where they live, all parents have 12 weeks of paid parental leave, access to free full-day center-based daycare for children aged 0 to 3, free full-day preschool for children aged 3 to 5 (early education programs to prepare for kindergarten), and free parenting classes.
