Abstract:

The 2006 SHAPE health survey for adults & children for Hennepin Cnty., MN used several innovations in methodology for better coverage and response: Using USPS Delivery Sequence File along with an all-listed phone number sample; Mail along with telephone CATI mode; and using 'nearest neighbor' replacement when primary household in sample was unavailable. The innovations allowed for analysis of quality of listed phone number sample frame compared to county population; mode effects and sampling bias on health questions; and demonstration of feasibility and benefits of 'nearest neighbor' technique with DSF.
