SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The purpose of the proposed data collection activity
is to estimate the prevalence of labor trafficking among construction
workers in one location using two different sampling and estimation
strategies. The proposed information collection activity is a one-time
survey with up to 4,200 adults who worked in the construction industry
in the selected geographic location in the 24 months prior to data
collection. The construction worker survey will be offered in English
and Spanish to workers identified through the following two sampling
strategies: (1) Probability sample (i.e., time location sample), and
(2) a network sample. The survey instrument used for individuals
recruited through the two different sampling strategies will be
primarily the same and includes questions focused on the individuals'
experiences with labor exploitation and trafficking; employment
histories, including work after a natural disaster; social networks;
and demographic data.
Respondents: English- and Spanish-speaking individuals who have
worked in construction in Houston, Texas, in the 2 years prior to data
collection will be invited to complete a survey.
