Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine whether (1) the questions measure what they were intended to measure, (2) respondents can quickly and accurately answer these questions in the context of a CPS interview, and (3) respondents can accurately answer these question on behalf of other members of their household (these types of responses are referred to as proxy responses and the people answering on behalf of other household members are referred to as proxy respondents or proxies).
