What Paradata Can Tell Us About Online Data Reporting by Juvenile Residential Facilities

The U.S. Census Bureau collects the Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP) and the Juvenile Residential Facility Census (JRFC) for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Paradata captured with online data submissions enable us to tell how often respondents change their answers. We can now tell which questions pose the greatest challenges to respondents. The first section of the CJRP asks for general information about the facility, while the second section of the CJRP is a roster of the juvenile offenders held in the facility. The first section of the JRFC is similar to the first section of the CJRP, while the rest of the sections ask detailed questions about mental health services, educational services, and substance abuse services provided to young persons in the facility. Does it take longer for a facility to respond to the CJRP even though the JRFC asks many more questions? Did respondents get frustrated when reporting online for the CJRP and then switch to paper for the JRFC the following year? The answers to these questions can help us improve the data collection process and enhance the quality of the respondent's survey experience in the future.
