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 recruiting and training cognitive interviewers in new languages.

Our staff are also industry leaders in testing methodology, having presented numerous times at AAPOR, ESRA, FCSM, CSDI, and other conferences on different aspects of cognitive testing.
