Reliability of Response in a Sociomedical Population Study
A study of reliability or stability of response, conducted in Alameda County, California by means of two identical questionnaires completed by respondents within approximately two weeks, indicates that three out of four respondents answered at least go per cent of the items identically; only one in fifty did so for as few as 70–79 per cent of the items. Within this rather narrow range, reliability varied with education, age, length of time betwee…
Personal Follow-Up in a Mail Survey
This article addresses itself to the following questions: Who are the non-respondents to a mail survey, and what effect does their absence have on the achieved sample? What types of people are brought in through personal contact? Does their inclusion improve the sample estimates appreciably over the mail response alone, and at what cost? Can extrapolation of the data be used to improve the estimates? On data for which parameters are not known, to…
A Critical Comparison of Three Strategies of Collecting Data from Households
Returns and findings from three strategies of data collection are compared. Each strategy contains personal interviews, telephone interviews, and mail questionnaires in different combinations—one mainly personal, one mainly telephone, and one mainly mail. All three strategies are based on area probability samples of households in Alameda County, California. The test was made on two separate studies, with identical questionnaires used in all strat…
A Method of Measuring Interviewer Variability
Survey researchers have long suspected that interviewer variability as well a sampling procedure may be a frequent source of error. In this article, the authors describe a method for measuring this variability; they suggest that it can be reduced by more intensive training and control of interviewers, by more careful question design, by the use of a larger number of interviewers, and by selecting interviewers more representative of the population…
