We present as an example a rapid survey of immunization status and other factors in a predominantly Hispanic region in Los Angeles. The survey united county employees, students, and community volunteers, first to enumerate the eligible population and then to conduct in-person interv...

Small Area Estimation in Longitudinal Surveys

Longitudinal surveys are very common in sampling over interval of times to estimate the aggregate level of population means at given point of time. In the present paper, the estimation methods have been developed for small area in longitudinal surveys using small area estimation (SAE) techniques. Direct, synthetic and composite estimators have been proposed to estimate the population mean of sm...

Students at Enrollment Into CommunityBased Systems of Care: Characteristics and Predictors of Functioning in School

Community-based systems of care (SOC) provide a range of services to students with significant emotional and behavioral difficulties and their families. However, little is known about the educational characteristics and functioning of students at enrollment in SOC. The purpose of this study was to replicate and extend previous research by examining the educational characteristics and predictors...

Census are taken at regular but infrequent intervals, e.g. every 5 or 10 years. In between, surveys are used to update results.
