Abstract:

Recently, telephone surveys have come upon hard times. Criticism of their response rates and representativeness, especially with the growing number of cell-only households, has undermined the legitimacy of one of the mainstays of survey research. To address the problems facing the telephone survey industry, the 2nd International Conference on Telephone Survey Methodology was held in Miami in January 2006. This roundtable will discuss some of the major themes of the conference, including multi-mode data collection, adapting surveys to cell phones, response rates, and nonresponse bias.
