Abstract:
|
The Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) is a recurring household survey that collects data about the sources and characteristics of health information from a representative sample of all adults in the United States. Data for the 2007 HINTS were collected by telephone from an RDD sample of phone numbers and by mail from a sample of addresses. This paper focuses on the address sample, which was selected from a sampling frame based on the U.S. Postal Service's Delivery Sequence File and supplemented with non-USPS sources in rural areas. We discuss available stratification variables, characteristics of the rural-area supplemental addresses, rates of non-delivery and response by type of address, the handling of multiple ways a household can receive mail, and calculation of household- and person-level sampling weights.
