  4. Noncoverage Error • “Failure to include some elements of the defined target population in the sampling frame” • How can it be reduced?

  5. Nonresponse Error • What is it? • Two main sources • Refusals • Methods • Types of people • Reasons • Not-at-homes • Callbacks

  6. Response Error • Response is given, but is inaccurate • To reduce, ask questions: • Does respondent understand question? • Does respondent know the answer? • Is respondent willing to provide true answer? • Will wording of question cause bias?

  7. Office Errors • Editing • Coding • Analyzing • Monitor TOTAL error

  8. Response Rates • Basic calculating equation: • Web-based and mail equation: • Telephone surveys equation:

  9. Improving Response Rates • Make it interesting • Survey length • Guarantee confidentiality or Anonymity • Interviewer training • Personalization • Response incentives • Follow-up surveys
