Abstract:
|
The Canadian Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) is a non-taxable amount paid monthly to help eligible Canadian families raise children until the age of 18. The list of applicants to the CCTB was used as a sampling frame for the first time in 2010, for Statistics Canada's Survey of Young Canadians (SYC). Data collection for this new cross-sectional survey, which includes both telephone interviews and personal visits, took place from November 2010 to February 2011. The presentation will briefly describe how the sampling frame was built from the CCTB database, and assess the quality of the contact information (names, birthdates, phone numbers and addresses) by presenting results of a small-scale test conducted in February 2010, as well as early results from the SYC data collection activities. The focus will be on reporting key collection paradata and survey results, and comparing some of these with results from projects using other types of frames. We will assess the accuracy of the frame information, patterns of non-response, and the success of tracing activities based on the multiple leads made available by the SYC frame.
