Addressing Nonresponse Bias in Postal Surveys

Public Health Nursing, 2008
ABSTRACT Postal surveys are sometimes thought of as a simple option for collecting data in community‐based studies; however, nurse researchers must exercise care in appropriately addressing the issue of nonresponse. In particular, both the reporters and the users of such research should look beyond survey response rates when considering ...

A “Replacement” Procedure for Reducing the Bias of Nonresponse

The American Statistician, 1959
Abstract The effects of nonresponse can be reduced by simulating an increase in the number of recalls. The procedure consists in adding to the addresses of current surveys the nonresponse addresses from similar recent surveys.

The Impact of Nonresponse Rates on Nonresponse Bias: A Meta-Analysis

Public Opinion Quarterly, 2008
Fifty-nine methodological studies were designed to esti- mate the magnitude of nonresponse bias in statistics of interest. These studies use a variety of designs: sampling frames with rich variables, data from administrative records matched to sample case, use of screening- interview data to describe nonrespondents to main interviews, followup of ...

Nonresponse Bias for Attitude Questions

Public Opinion Quarterly, 1981
IN SAMPLE SURVEYS conducted by probability methods, from 20 to 30 percent of the designated sample typically are either never contacted or, once contacted, never interviewed. This raises a series of questions about the nature and magnitude of nonresponse bias. The National Opinion Research Center (NORC) was commissioned by the U. S.

Estimating Nonresponse and Response Bias

Sociological Methods & Research, 1991
Although researchers are aware that nonresponse and response bias may compromise the accuracy of estimates from survey data, it is difficult to obtain estimates of these biases. In this article, we estimate nonresponse and response bias for a particular case—child support awards and payments.

Experiments in Producing Nonresponse Bias

Public Opinion Quarterly, 2006
While nonresponse rates in household surveys are increasing in most industrialized nations, the increasing rates do not always produce nonresponse bias in survey estimates. The linkage between nonresponse rates and nonresponse bias arises from the presence of a covariance between response propensity and the survey variables of interest.

Nonselection and nonresponse bias in clinical research

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1998
In summary, nonselection and nonresponse bias can have a potent impact on the validity of clinical veterinary research studies and should be carefully assessed by investigators and readers. The risk of nonselection and nonresponse bias has been compared to "lowering yourself into a dark pit and trusting you won't be bitten by a snake ...

Nonresponse Bias in Sample Surveys

New Directions for Institutional Research, 2019
AbstractNonresponse is an increasing problem in sample surveys and student surveys are no exception. When nonrespondents differ from respondents in meaningful ways, respondents may not be representative of the population. Hence, analyses of survey data may be biased and not generalizable to the population.

Nonresponse bias in trust surveys

2023
Social trust is typically measured using surveys that ask people if they agree that most people can be trusted. A potential problem is that falling response rates plague these surveys. If nonresponses are systematic, comparisons of social trust over time will be biased.

Health Benefits Offer Rates: Is There a Nonresponse Bias?

Health Services Research, 2005
Objective. To determine whether a nonresponse bias exists in the offer rate for health benefits in firms with fewer than 50 workers and to present a simple adjustment to correct for observed bias.Data Sources. The 2003 Employer Health Benefits Survey (EHBS) conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research and Educational Trust, and a ...
