At the request of the Demographic Surveys Division, staff from the Center for Survey Methods Research in the Statistical Research Division cognitively pretested revised questions for the 2011 National Crime Victimization Survey School Crime Supplement. Cognitive interviews conducted with respondent s aged 12-17 in the Washington, DC metropolitan showed that respondents had several types of problems with a new question asking about the amount of time they spend on school-sponsored extracurricular activities. First, they interpreted this phrase to include such activities as school fundraisers and community service activities. Second, some  respondents included only things that were related to education and as a result did not include hours spent participating in sports activities. Third, some respondents included only after-school  activities while other included activities that took place during the day.  In the end, responses captured information about a different range of activities than the specific school-sponsored activities included in the previous question.
