Nonresponse in Household Interview Surveys |
| Robert M. Groves (University of Michigan); Mick P. Couper (University of Michigan) |
| A comprehensive framework for both reduction of nonresponse and postsurvey adjustment for nonresponse This book provides guidance and support for survey statisticians who need to develop models for postsurvey adjustment for nonresponse, and for survey designers and practitioners attempting to reduce unit nonresponse in household interview surveys. It presents the results of an eight-year research program that has assembled an unprecedented data set on respondents and nonrespondents from several major household surveys in the United States.
Within a comprehensive conceptual framework of influences on nonresponse, the authors investigate every aspect of survey cooperation, from the influences of household characteristics and social and environmental factors to the interaction between interviewers and householders and the design of the survey itself. | | |
