Stratified Simple Random Sampling Versus Volunteer Community-Wide Sampling for Estimates of Covid-19 Prevalence
Objectives. To evaluate community-wide prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection using stratified simple random sampling. Methods. We obtained data for the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in Jefferson County, Kentucky, from adult random (n = 7296) and volunteer (n = 7919) sampling over 8 waves from June 2020 through August 2021. We compared results with administratively reported rates of COVID-19. Results. Rand…
Roosevelt Predicted to Win
The Literary Digest poll of 1936, which incorrectly predicted that Landon would defeat Roosevelt in the 1936 US presidential election, has long been held up as an example of how not to sample. The sampling frame was constructed from telephone directories and automobile registration lists, and the survey had a 24% response rate. But if information collected by the poll about votes cast in 1932 had been used to weight the results, the poll would ha…
Single-phase Mail Survey Design for Rare Population Subgroups
Although using random digit dialing (RDD) telephone samples was the preferred method for conducting surveys of households for many years, declining response and coverage rates have led researchers to explore alternative approaches. The use of address-based sampling (ABS) has been examined for sampling the general population and subgroups, most often using mail or invitations to web surveys. For surveying rare groups, these studies often involve m…
Effects of screening questionnaires on response in a two-phase postal survey
For surveys targeting specific population groups, the two-phase postal approach (screener followed by a topical survey sent to eligible households) has been demonstrated to be more effective at identifying population domains of interest than random digit dial telephone methods considering cost, coverage, and response. An important question is how best to motivate screener response from eligible households. In 2011, we conducted a large-scale fiel…

Within-Household Sampling Conditioning on Household Size
We review existing methods for sampling an adult from a household and highlight the strengths and weaknesses of these methods with respect to issues relevant for sampling in the Middle East and developing countries. We then develop a new, flexible within-household sampling scheme that takes full advantage of the fact that household size must be obtained to produce unbiased estimates. The proposed method randomly selects an adult conditional on th…
Improving Response Rates for Spanish Speakers in Two-Phase Mail Surveys
This article evaluates methods to improve response rates from Spanish speakers in two-phase mail surveys of the U.S. population. Many surveys are subject to nonresponse bias and under-represent the 20 percent of households that speak a language other than English at home. In the United States, Spanish speakers comprise 60 percent of the persons who speak some language other than English at home
The Future of Survey Sampling
The twentieth century saw a dramatic change in the way information was generated as probability sampling replaced full enumeration. We examine some key events of the past and issues being addressed today to gain perspective on the requirements that might steer changes in the direction of survey sampling in the future. The potential for online Web panels and other methods that do not use probability sampling are considered. Finally, we conclude wi…

Address-Based Sampling for Subpopulation Surveys
In this article, we describe the use of address-based sampling (ABS) for conducting a mail survey of a subgroup. Although ABS has been investigated as an alternative household sampling frame, its use for sampling subgroups is limited. Some researchers have used ABS to select households but then recruit households by telephone to the extent possible to screen for members of the subgroup. The approach we describe uses a two-phase methodology with m…

Exploring 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 nonrespondents to CHIS. We projected individual-leve…
A Reassessment of List-Assisted Rdd Methodology
Random digit dial (RDD) sampling methodology was devel- oped over two decades ago when local telephone exchanges used 100- series telephone banks as physical building blocks for telephone number assignment. During the intervening decades the telecommunication in- dustry has undergone a number of fundamental changes that have had drastic effects on the efficiency and coverage of RDD samples. Based on a new study of landline telephone numbers, whic…
Cell Phone Survey Feasibility in The U.S
In 2004, we conducted a nationwide dual frame survey of landline and cell phone numbers to evaluate the feasibility of including cell phone numbers in a random digit dial telephone survey. Households with both landline and cell phones were eligible for selection in both samples. This article describes our design and data collection methods; compares the results from the two samples (with an emphasis on operational characteristics); and presents t…
Household Telephone Service and Usage Patterns in the United states in 2004
Changes in the U.S. telephone system, especially the rapid growth in the prevalence and use of cell phones, raise concerns about undercoverage error in random digit dial (RDD) telephone samples. A supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS) was conducted in 2004 to examine telephone service and usage in U.S. households. This article explores the potential for biases in RDD surveys resulting from the increases in cell phones by presenting es…
Sampling Telephone Numbers and Adults, Interview Length, and Weighting in The California Health Interview Survey Cell Phone Pilot Study
This article describes several features included in a California Health Interview Survey cell phone pilot study that differ from earlier cell phone surveys conducted in the United States. One difference is that the study used a screening design and only adults living in cell-only households were interviewed. Most of the previous studies used dual frame designs. Another difference was the development and implementation of a within-household adult …
Mitofsky Waksberg
Warren Mitofsky and Joseph Waksberg were two of the most influential researchers in telephone surveys and survey research methods. Their development of the Mitofsky–Waksberg method for random digit dialing sampling revolutionized telephone sampling and surveys. Jointly and separately, Waksberg and Mitofsky were instrumental in the development of many innovative methods and applications. This article reviews some of their contributions and discuss…

Estimating Residency Rates for Undetermined Telephone Numbers
The method for estimating residency rates in random digit dial (RDD) telephone surveys is important for computing response rates. This article reviews existing methods of estimating residency rates and introduces a new "survival" method that takes advantage of more information to provide improved estimates. Examples of applying this to large RDD samples are given along with suggestions for use of the method in other surveys
Handling missing data in survey research
Missing data occur in survey research because an element in the target population is not included on the survey's sampling frame (noncoverage), because a sampled element does not participate in the survey (total nonresponse) and because a responding sampled element fails to provide acceptable responses to one or more of the survey items (item nonresponse). A variety of methods have been developed to attempt to compensate for missing survey data i…
