The 2015 National Content Test (NCT) provides the U.S. Census Bureau with empirical research that contributes to the planning for the content of the 2020 Census race/ethnicity question(s). This report presents findings to the Census Bureau Director and executive staff on research conducted to assess optimal design elements that could be used in question(s) on race/ethnicity.
