Disaster Preparedness Questionnaire Design and Pretest

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],ABSTRACT Background A national household telephone survey on disaster experiences and preparedness is being conducted by Working Group #3 ( Societal Responses to Terrorist Threats and Attacks ) as part of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (NC START). This presentation will provide a description of the development and pretesting of the questionnaire. Method In total, 3,300 individuals will be interviewed using Random Digit Dialing (RDD) and Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI). Survey items were developed based on prior public education/risk communication, warning, and disaster literature and prior research. Pretest A total of 27 pretest interviews were completed; the instrument was substantially reduced and revised based on pretest experiences. Emerging Theoretical Model An emergent theoretical causal model explaining terrorism preparedness action has been developed based on the literature review, and will be tested using final survey data. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Implementation Issues Sample Monitoring The sample is monitored weekly. Terrorism Fatigue Interviewers have reported and data confirms that potential participants are “fatigued” with the topic of terrorism. Refusal Avoidance Special scripts and measures have been implemented to minimize refusals; however, low participation rates continue to be problematic. Progress A total of 462 interviews have been completed as of 6/17/07. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was supported by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through the National Center for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) (#N00140510629), the National Science Foundation (#0000052171), and the National Science Foundation through the University of Colorado Boulder (#1543106).
