OMB appreciates that ACF has appropriately characterized this collection as simply a Âpre-Â and Âpost-Â survey, with no comparison group and without any direct assessment of skills obtained. In addition, OMB appreciates the discussion of limitations associated with changing survey modes between the pre- and post- measures, as well as the challenges of obtaining a sufficiently high response rate to the post- survey. We expect ACF and its contractors to fully explain the limits of its approach in any reports or publications resulting from this survey.
