Abstract:
|
Address databases, derived from the USPS Delivery Sequence File, can serve as frames for face-to-face area-probability samples as well as multi-mode address based samples. Working with the National Children's Study (NCS), we continue our work to understand the coverage properties of these databases in order to determine what households tend to be covered vs. missed. Recent in-field listings by the NCS give us an opportunity to compare the coverage of the address databases with a frame created in the field. After matching the listed addresses with two versions of the DSF, we returned to those housing units that were missed by one or more sources to collect additional data.
