CATI

Employment Retention and Advancement Study

Over the past decade America has modified its welfare system in an attempt to reduce the level of recipient dependence and increase the proportion of participants who are qualified for and take up productive jobs. Government agencies have created programs to assist participants in finding and keeping employment. Early efforts often focused on obtaining jobs, with less consideration of the wage and benefit levels and support system needed for a person to retain that employment.

Employment Retention and Advancement Evaluation Project

Employment Retention and Advancement Evaluation Project

As part of the 12-month follow-up of this project, participants in the Employment Retention and Advancement (ERA) program in 14 sites across the country were contacted at the 12-month anniversary of their random assignment into the study.

HumRRO developed an extensive database system to manage close to 10,000 cases from nearly 100 monthly cohorts that were handled during the 37-month data collection period. This 12-month CATI follow-up interview achieved an average response rate of 77 percent (74% - 81% per site).
