 | In order to produce statistics, federal agencies can ask people for information in a survey or get it from another source.  If you knew your name and other information would never be singled out and would only be used for statistics, would you prefer that federal statistical agencies: | x
FS20 | Ask you for your employment information in a survey -- or ask a state agency, like the employment or workforce office for it? | x
FS21 | Ask you for information on your use of healthcare services in a survey --  or ask your insurance company for it? | x
FS22 | Ask you about the cost of products you buy in a survey  -- or use commercial records, like grocery store loyalty cards? | x
FS23 | Ask you for your earnings history information from you in a survey -- or ask the Social Security Administration for it? | x
FS24 | Ask you for your income information from you in a survey -- or ask the IRS for it? | x
FS25 | Next, a question about the U.S. Government as a whole. Do you think federal government agencies share a single central database of the name, address and date of birth of U.S. residents? | x
FS26a | The National Center for Health Statistics, or the NCHS, collects information on people’s health and medical care through a variety of surveys.  The NCHS could obtain some of your medical information from your health care provider instead of asking you on a questionnaire. If you knew that this information was only being obtained to produce statistics, and that your personal information would remain unavailable to the public, would you be strongly in favor of it, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it? |  | x
FS27a | The National Center for Health Statistics spends over $100 million on surveys every year.  To reduce this cost, it could get some of your medical information from your health care provider.  If this method could save government money, are you strongly in favor of it, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it? |  | x
FS28a | If you are selected for one of these health surveys, they can take a lot of time. They often ask people to recall detailed medical histories, doctors’ visits, and treatments.  If the NCHS could save you the time and hassle by getting some of your medical information from your health care provider, would you be strongly in favor of it, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it? |  | x
FS29a | A lot of the information asked on these health surveys may be difficult for a person to recall accurately, but a health care provider may already have this information.  If the NCHS could improve the accuracy of their numbers by asking your health care provider for some of your medical information, would you be strongly in favor of it, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it? |  | x
FS30a | Information from these health surveys help make funding decisions for cancer research, elderly medical care, and hospitals.  If the NCHS could obtain some of your medical information from health care provider to get a better idea of the health care needs of the nation, would you be strongly in favor of it, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it? |  | x
FS31a | You seem to be [in favor of/not in favor of] the NCHS obtaining some of your medical information from your health care provider.  Can you tell me why? |  | x
FS26b | The National Center for Health Statistics, or the NCHS, collects information on people’s health and medical care through a variety of surveys.  The NCHS could obtain some of your medical information from your health care provider instead of asking you on a questionnaire. If you knew that this information was only being obtained to produce statistics, and that your personal information would remain unavailable to the public, how would you feel about the NCHS obtaining your medical information from your health care provider?  Would you be strongly in favor of it, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it? |  |  | x
 | Now I will read you some benefits of the NCHS obtaining medical information from health care providers. For each statement, please tell me if these social benefits would make you strongly in favor of this, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it. |  |  | x
FS27b | Getting information from healthcare providers would help save some of the $100 million in government money that the NCHS spends on surveys every year (READ IF NECESSARY: Would this make you strongly in favor of the NCHS obtaining your medical information from your health care provider, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it?) |  |  | x
FS28b | Getting information from healthcare providers would reduce the time and effort it takes people like you to participate in NCHS surveys that require people to recall detailed medical histories, doctors’ visits, and treatments (READ IF NECESSARY: Would this make you strongly in favor of the NCHS obtaining your medical information from your health care provider, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it?) |  |  | x

FS27c | The 2010 Census cost over $10 billion dollars.  Getting your name and age directly from the Social Security Administration could reduce the cost for the 2020 Census and save government money.  (READ IF NECESSARY: Would this make you strongly in favor of Census obtaining your name and age from the Social Security Administration, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it?) |  |  |  |  | x
FS28c | Various government agencies ask you to provide the same information on a number of different forms. Getting your name and age directly from the Social Security Administration could save you the time and hassle from providing it again to the Census Bureau. (READ IF NECESSARY: Would this make you strongly in favor of Census obtaining your name and age from the Social Security Administration, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it?) |  |  |  |  | x
FS29c | Some American households don’t return their census forms, and as a result the census numbers may be incomplete.  Getting names and ages from the Social Security Administration could help the Census Bureau improve the accuracy of their numbers for the people who were missed by the census. (READ IF NECESSARY: Would this make you strongly in favor of Census obtaining your name and age from the Social Security Administration, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it?) |  |  |  |  | x
FS30c | Getting names and ages from the Social Security Administration could help the Census Bureau get a better idea of population sizes and thus know where local, state, and federal agencies build new schools, roads, and firehouses. (READ IF NECESSARY: Would this make you strongly in favor of Census obtaining your name and age from the Social Security Administration, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it?) |  |  |  |  | x

FS26d | The Bureau of Labor Statistics, or BLS, conducts surveys with people like you to determine the rate of inflation, or how much it costs to live in the U.S.  However, instead of asking you in a survey, the BLS could obtain some information about your purchases directly from a supermarket loyalty card that keeps track of your purchases.  If you knew that BLS was obtaining this information only to produce statistics, and that your personal information would remain unavailable to the public, would you be strongly in favor of it, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it? |  |  |  | x
 | Now I will read you you some benefits of the BLS obtaining information about some of your purchases from a supermarket loyalty card program.

FS27d | Getting information about some of your purchases from a supermarket loyalty card program would help the BLS calculate statistics to determine social security payments and wage increases and to set interest rates and to set Cost of Living Allowance for military and seniors.  (READ IF NECESSARY: Would this make you strongly in favor of the BLS obtaining information about some of your purchases from a supermarket loyalty card program, somewhat in favor of it, neither in favor nor against it, somewhat against it, or strongly against it?) |  |  |  | x
FS28d | Completing a survey about all your purchases takes a lot of time and effort.

FS32 | In the past, the Census Bureau has mailed households a paper census form.  In an effort to reduce cost for the 2020 Census, the Census Bureau is considering alternative ways of contacting people.  One way would be to contact people on their cell phones.  How would you feel about the Census Bureau calling you on your cell phone?  Would you be strongly in favor of, somewhat in favor of, neither in favor nor against, somewhat against, or strongly against it? |  |  |  |  |  | x
