Nonresponse Rates and Nonresponse Bias In Household Surveys
Many surveys of the U.S. household population are experiencing higher refusal rates. Nonresponse can, but need not, induce nonresponse bias in survey estimates. Recent empirical findings illustrate cases when the linkage between nonresponse rates and nonresponse biases is absent. Despite this, professional standards continue to urge high response rates. Statistical expressions of nonresponse bi...

متن کاملSurvey Participation, Nonresponse Bias, Measurement Error Bias, and Total Bias
A common hypothesis about practices to reduce survey nonresponse is that those persons brought into the respondent pool through persuasive efforts may provide data filled with measurement error. Two questions flow from this hypothesis. First, does the mean square error of a statistic increase when sample persons who are less likely to be contacted or cooperate are incorporated into the responde...
متن کاملEvaluation of Adjustments for Nonresponse Bias Applied to Provider Nonresponse in the National Immunization Survey
Among the threats to validity of conclusions from a health survey is the bias who can result from differences between people who respond to the survey and people that do not respond. When respondents and nonrespondents have very different characteristics and the proportion of nonrespondents is at least moderately large, unadjusted survey estimates are often severely biased. Thus, it is importan...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Nonresponse Bias in the Current Population Survey
Bias because of nonresponse in surveys is difficult to assess since information about nonresponders is rarely available. Models of nonresponse are often used to estimate the bias, but they all have assumptions about the relationship between the modeled variables and the nonresponse process. Sensitivity analysis can help explore the potential impact of the different assumptions. This study looks...
