Title: Non-response in surveys
Name: Patrick Sturgis
Affiliation: NCRM hub
Abstract Details
The most serious and endemic threat to valid inference from surveys is differential nonresponse. Where sample members differ on analysis variables from those who are not contacted or who choose not to participate, estimators are biased and less precise than they would be under complete response. Yet the causes of nonresponse and attrition are still rather poorly understood. This session includes contributions from the ESRC funded Survey Design and Measurement Initiative which focus on new and innovative ways of understanding and correcting for nonresponse in both cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys.
