Effects 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 کاملConsequences of reducing nonresponse in a national telephone survey.

INTRODUCTION In 1994, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services mandated sufficient inclusion of racial and ethnic minorities in all federally funded research. This mandate requires researchers to monitor study samples for research participation and differential survey nonresponse. This study illustrates methods to assess differential survey nonresponse when population race data are inco...
متن کاملEstimating nonresponse bias in a telephone-based health surveillance survey in New York City.
Despite concerns about nonresponse bias due to decreasing response rates, telephone surveys remain a viable option for conducting local population-based surveillance. However, this becomes problematic for urban populations, which typically have higher nonresponse rates. Unfortunately, traditional methods of evaluating nonresponse bias pose challenges for public health practitioners due to high ...
متن کاملImpact of Nonresponse on Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey Estimates
The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) has been used by policymakers and research analysts to provide information on a wide array of topics about the Medicare Program. Nonresponse bias is potentially one of the most important threats to the validity of the estimates from the MCBS. In this article we present results of our methodological study that analyzes the impact of nonresponse on M...
