Convenors:

Professor Gabriele Durrant (University of Southampton)
Professor Patrick Sturgis (University of Southampton)


Abstract Details

This session presents recent advances in data collection methods and data analysis of survey design characteristics. Response rates have been falling in many large-scale surveys and statistical agencies are keen to implement methods that ensure the data quality of the resulting data. This session will focus on recent advances in the area of interviewer effects, in particular interviewer effects on response latencies using a novel multilevel model as well as interviewer effects on the effectiveness of incentives to increase response. Further, recent advances in online surveys using mobile devices in the UK context are presented.
