Title: Transitions from Telephone Surveys to Self-Administered and Mixed-Mode Surveys

Citation Type: Miscellaneous

Publication Year: 2019

Abstract: In this report, we evaluate issues related to sample design, household selection and/or screening for eligible respondents, and coverage of different frames and selection approaches; questionnaire design and language of administration; nonresponse and survey operations; survey estimation, including issues related to weighting and measurement error when combining data from multiple modes; and costs. We did this through three approaches. First, we conducted an extensive review of the literature, examining published articles, technical reports, conference presentations, and internal reports conducted by members of the Task Force or their organizations. Second, we reached out to the greater AAPOR community via AAPORNet and asked for any description, papers, or documentation about surveys that had transitioned from telephone to self-administered or mixed-mode approaches or were thinking about making this transition. Finally, we conducted a convenience sample survey (described below) of the AAPOR Community to get more general insights into survey organizations, reasons behind making these transitions.
