The objective of this study was to assess nonresponse error in telephone health survey data based on an address-based sample.
Telephone and in-person interviews in Greater Boston.
STUDY DESIGN/DATA COLLECTION: Interviewers attempted telephone interviews at addresses that were matched to telephone numbers using questions drawn from federal health surveys. In-person household interviews were carried out with telephone nonrespondents and at addresses without matching telephone numbers.
After adjusting for demographic differences, only eight of 15 estimates based on the telephone interviews lay within two standard errors of the estimates when data from all three groups were included.
For health surveys of address-based samples, many estimates based on telephone respondents differ from the total population in ways that cannot be corrected with simple demographic adjustments.
本研究旨在评估基于地址抽样的电话健康调查数据中的无应答误差。
大波士顿地区的电话和入户访谈。
研究设计/数据收集：访员使用从联邦健康调查中抽取的问题，根据电话号码匹配地址，尝试进行电话访谈。对于电话未应答者和无匹配电话号码的地址，进行入户家庭访谈。
在调整人口统计学差异后，当纳入所有三组数据时，只有 15 个估计值中的 8 个基于电话访谈的估计值在两个标准误差范围内。
对于基于地址抽样的健康调查，许多基于电话应答者的估计值与总人口存在差异，无法通过简单的人口统计学调整来纠正。
