callers who have difficulty completing the long form questionnaire?
The Census Bureau has decided not to conduct long form questionnaire interviews by telephone. This decision reflects the need to scale back the requirements for the TQA Program in a manner consistent with the available level of funding. The operator will inform the caller that an enumerator will collect their long form data during a subsequent follow-up operation. The long form holders will only receive assistance, whereas the short form holders will be interviewed. The TQA operators will provide assistance or conduct interviews for the short form questionnaires.
