Volunteer Testing May Require Your Time

CDC plans cognitive and pilot testing for health surveys and estimates a total of 11,450 annualized burden hours. If you are asked to take part (most participants will be adults age 18 or older), you may be asked to spend between 15 minutes and 60 minutes depending on the activity; in-person cognitive testing sessions are listed as 60 minutes. Participation is voluntary, may be offered incentives for in-person sessions, may be conducted in languages other than English, and CDC says there are no costs to respondents other than their time.
