Instrument Design and Pretesting

RSS has earned a great reputation in instrument design, cognitive testing and usability testing in English, Spanish, and a variety of other languages. We have been doing this work for decades for clients such as The Census Bureau, NCHS, RTI, NCES, NORC, and Westat, and we are a clear industry leader for cognitive testing in Spanish. We are also experienced in training cognitive interviewers.

Our staff are also industry leaders in testing methodology, having presented a number of papers at AAPOR and other conferences on different aspects of cognitive testing.
