Field Interviewers: Field interviewers conduct in-person interviews with selected respondents. These interviews will be conducted using
computer-assisted or paper questionnaires, depending on study requirements. Field interviewers are
responsible for contacting respondents at homes,
businesses, or schools to conduct the interviews. They transmit the interview data back to the home office.
Listers: Listers may record addresses for residential structures such as houses, apartment buildings, and mobile homes for household surveys, or they
may record addresses and short descriptions for commercial structures such as shopping centers, office buildings, restaurants, and other
nonresidential buildings.
Assessors: Assessors administer standardized tests, most frequently to children in schools, though other settings and respondents may be included.
Medical Records Abstractors: Abstractors review medical records and record information from the files as specified by the study protocol. Medical
abstractors usually conduct their work at hospitals and doctors' offices.
Other Data Collectors: These positions range from performing clerical work, to observing behavior (e.g., observing seat belt use), to health
professionals conducting medical examinations. END QUOTE:
From what I heard the targets of the surveys will be home schoolers, smokers with kids, people with prescription pain killers and own guns, and any
other targets deemed appropriate like kids on a farm who help dad with the chores etc etc... This is what was on ground Zero as told by a
caller....
Anyone know about this program? I would assume they would use social workers but maybe that is not the case.
If everything else is B.S. and you need a job you might want to check Westat out..... at least we could get a report back from the inside....There is
so much going on with the new medical insurance procedures that some of this stuff sounds about par for the course.
