ACS Content Test Evaluation Report Covering Computer and Internet, 2010
关键词:电子信息;计算机;互联网;内容评估
摘 要:In late August through mid-December 2010, the Census Bureau conducted a field test of new and revised content in the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) Content Test. The results of that testing will determine the content to be incorporated into production ACS starting in 2013. Computer ownership and Internet subscription questions need to be added into the American Community Survey due to legislative changes. The Broadband Data Improvement Act requires that the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the Federal Communications Commission, expand the ACS to elicit information from residential households to determine whether they own or use computers at their address, whether they subscribe to an Internet service and, if so, whether they subscribe to dial-up or broadband Internet service at that address. The goal of this project is to evaluate the two versions of computer ownership and Internet subscription questions in the 2010 ACS Content Test to help determine which one will ultimately go into ACS production starting in 2013.
