Site reports were filled by research team members each time they visited a CEC. On-site reviews were conducted by the research team to obtain feedback about program operations. Telephone conversations with supplement group (ESP) members were monitored periodically. Feedback was also obtained from a wide group of persons involved in the project.

Telephone interviews will be conducted with a small sample of long-term displaced worker supplement receipients just after they reach the end of their 2-year supplement receipt period. Large-scale sample survey of repeat UI users is planned for 1998, followed by another round of focus groups later in 1998.
