Survey 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 کاملEffects On Survey Estimates From Reducing Nonresponse
Using a variety of procedures designed to maximize response rates, survey organizations expend sometimes extraordinary efforts to minimize the potential for nonresponse bias. Given that nonresponse bias is a function of both the nonresponse rate and the difference between respondents and nonrespondents, maximizing response rates is a sensible approach to minimizing the potential for bias contri...
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 کاملExploring nonresponse bias in a health survey using neighborhood characteristics.
OBJECTIVES We examined potential nonresponse bias in a large-scale, population-based, random-digit-dialed telephone survey in California and its association with the response rate. METHODS We used California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data and US Census data and linked the two data sets at the census tract level. We compared a broad range of neighborhood characteristics of respondents and...
متن کاملNonresponse bias in a mail survey of physicians.
With the increased pressure on survey researchers to achieve high response rates, it is critical to explore issues related to nonresponse. In this study, the authors examined the effects of nonresponse bias in a mail survey of physicians (N = 3,400). Because slightly more than one half of the sample did not respond to the survey, there was potential for bias if nonresponders differed significan...
