Abstract:	During the last 25 years, quality profiles have been developed to synthesize information on the sources and magnitude of errors in a survey. To do so, quality profiles describe survey design features and bring together disparate sources of information about the quality of the survey data and its operations. They are a unique source of information and can be beneficial to the survey managers and users of survey data. This paper reviews issues inherent in developing a quality profile and its role in monitoring the quality of an agency's data collection programs, using as an example the National Household Education Survey (NHES), an important periodic RDD data collection program of the National Center for Education Statistics.
