Author and presenter Chen Shishi; University of Hong Kong Title Survey errors and fieldwork recommendation from a call back survey in Mainland China Abstract Fixed lines and mobile phones have been widely used as national telephone survey tools and there are many studies of fixed line and mobile phone survey methodology and comparing telephone surveys with other survey modes. This paper builds upon a great opportunity for methodological work on fixed line and mobile phone surveys in Mainland China, using a follow-up survey interviewing the respondents from a prior face-to-face survey. This is innovative. Understanding the challenges in fixed line and mobile phone surveys in Mainland China is a very topical issue in the field of survey research and the results can be used to study survey errors and contribute to that literature as well as to improve the quality of survey fieldwork procedures. A database with telephone contact information for 4041 individuals was obtained from a household survey in Mainland China, for which the Social Sciences Research Centre of the University of Hong Kong was commissioned to conduct a follow-up telephone survey of the same individuals. The households were sampled randomly for the first wave national face-to-face survey and the individuals are respondents who left their telephone numbers after the face-toface survey and accepted in principle a call back interview within two weeks. This paper details global telephone coverage over the past ten years and identifies the trends over time by geographical region and level of development in Mainland China, including both fixed lines and mobile phones. This paper analyzes the quality of the face-to-face database and the outcomes of the call back survey. As the demographics of respondents and nonrespondents were known from the database, studies of the influence of day, time, household demographics and individual demographics on the first and second contact attempt outcomes were undertaken using logistic regression. The findings include an effective calling design to improve telephone survey field work strategy and contribute valuable information for further studies in Mainland China.
Presenter Busse, Britta; Darmstadt University of Technology Authors Marek Fuchs; Britta Busse; Darmstadt University of Technology Title Using an adaptive design in gaining cooperation. Enhancing the recruitment success in a mobile phone panel survey Abstract In recent years declining response and cooperation rates have become a serious threat to all kinds of surveys. This implies one, reduced sample sizes and therefore inflating standard errors and decreasing accuracy of survey results, and two, a potential increase of non-response biases since the population of survey respondents might differ significantly from the non-responding population. Both effects have especially severe consequences for panel surveys since panel studies require large initial samples due to panel attrition (which reduces sample size in addition to initial non-response). Also, non-response biases that might be introduced into the panel will be carried on into every following panel wave. Thus, when recruiting for a panel survey it is necessary to avoid initial refusals and increase cooperation with the help of an effective recruitment question wording. A common practice used in the initial phase of telephone interviews in order to gain cooperation allays respondents’ concerns with an appropriate interviewer statement addressing the respondents’ qualms. We propose that – similar to these proactive interviewer persuasion statements in the beginning of telephone interviews - a respondent-tailored conviction strategy could enhance the success of a panel recruitment question. In practice this could be implemented by differential recruitment question versions among which the most promising one will be presented to the respondent, chosen based on questions already answered by the respondent like survey attitudes items. In this paper we will present results from a recruitment survey (n=1,600) conducted in Germany for refreshing an ongoing mobile phone panel. We tested four different recruitment question versions in a randomized between-subjects
