Abstract: The 2010 Census Quality Survey has been established to explore the use of the Internet as an alternative means for the public to respond to the 2020 Census. The main objective of the 2010 CQS is to estimate measurement error associated with responses from a census paper questionnaire compared to those from a census Internet questionnaire. A sample of 2010 Census mail questionnaire respondents will be invited to complete an Internet reinterview, which has the same content as the 2010 mail questionnaire. In addition, a separate sample of the 2010 mail questionnaire respondents will be invited to a mail reinterview with the same 2010 content. A third sample of the 2010 mail questionnaire respondents will be invited to complete a reinterview with the choice of mail or Internet mode.
