Does Awareness of the Affordable Care Act Reduce Adverse Selection? A Study of the Long-term Uninsured in South Carolina
Adverse selection predicts that individuals with lower health status would be more likely to sign up for health insurance. This hypothesis was tested among the long-term uninsured population in South Carolina (SC). This study used data from an in-person survey conducted from May 2014 to January 2015. Interviews were held with the long-term uninsured individuals at multiple sites throughout the state, using a multistage sampling method. SC residen…
Fieldwork Effort, Response Rate, and the Distribution of Survey Outcomes
This study assesses how survey outcome distributions change over repeated calls made to addresses in face-to-face household interview surveys. We consider this question for 541 survey variables, drawn from six major face-to-face UK surveys that have different sample designs, cover different topic areas, and achieve response rates between 54 and 76 percent. Using a multilevel meta-analytic framework, we estimate for each survey variable the expect…

Is Success in Obtaining Contact and Cooperation Correlated With the Magnitude of Interviewer Variance
Evidence is now beginning to accumulate that shows that interviewer attitudes, personality, and behavior are predictive of success in achieving contact and cooperation with sampled households. A less frequently explored possibility, however, is that these same characteristics might also be the source of variability in the extent to which interviewers follow best practices in the implementation of standardized interviewing. That is to say, there m…
Outcome Expectations, Barriers, and Strategies for Healthful Eating: A Perspective From Adolescents From Low-income Families
To better understand outcome expectations, barriers, and strategies for healthful eating, 5 structured focus groups were conducted with adolescents from low-income families (n = 48; 83% Black students; 10-14 years old). The focus group questions dealt with healthful eating in different settings: home, school, and other eating establishments. Results suggested that healthful eating is important to this population, but perceived barriers prevent th…
