Abstract:

It has been more than 15 years since the international conference devoted to telephone survey methodology. In the intervening years, there have been rapid changes in telephone systems and telephone survey methodology, including the use of list-assisted designs. The impact of these changes vary internationally. Changes in the telephone system include a revolution in cellular service, new numbering systems allowing greater portability of telephone numbers, and features that protect privacy and access. Telephone subscribers have also changed how they use the telephone. The goals of the conference will be to bring together researchers and survey practitioners from around the world concerned with telephone survey methodology and practice in order to stimulate research papers that contribute to the science of reducing errors attributable to poor telephone survey design, to provide documentation of current practices, and to stimulate new ideas for further research and development. Clyde Tucker is one of the primary organizers of this international conference, which is currently planned for January 2006.
