The University of All Wisconsin Survey Center is now recruiting part-time, temporary Adult supervisors for the 2022 Retail Tobacco Compliance Check Survey throughout Wisconsin. We are contacting schools and organizations throughout the state for their help finding adults who may be interested in participating in this unique project.
The Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, Bureau of Substance Abuse Services has contracted with us to carry out this survey to monitor the sale of tobacco products to minors. Federal law requires that all states comply with section 1926 of the Public Health Service Act. In order to do this, Wisconsin must collect scientific survey data detailing any trends in tobacco sales to underage youth over the next several years.
We are looking for responsible adults (21+) who are able to recruit and train four teenagers (2 male, 2 female), ages 17-20, to work as part of a survey team. The adult will be trained on survey protocol on Saturday, June 4th, and after June 4th their team will typically drive to between 30 and 110 pre-selected locations (restaurants, supper clubs, gas stations, etc.) in counties near you.
At each location, the teens will attempt to purchase tobacco products and then return to the vehicle, and the supervisor will fill out a brief survey form. This process will be repeated at each location. The bulk of hours will likely be spent travelling, as the locations are randomly selected and may be in rural areas. All money for purchasing tobacco is reimbursed or supplied to the teams and all tobacco products are collected and destroyed. In the past years, adult supervisors have typically worked 40 to 80 hours total over the field period to complete their assigned survey locations. It is important to note that this simply data collections - there is no penalty to the vendors.
Supervisors will be paid $20/hour + milage and expenses, and teenage participants will be paid $15/hour + meals. Teams must complete the assigned data collections between June 4th and July 9th, 2022. The University of Wisconsin has been conducting this survey for over ten years, providing short-term work for adults and a source of income for teens during the summer.
We are looking to hire supervisors as soon as possible.
