Abstract:

The viability of traditional landline random-digit-dial (RDD) telephone surveys is being challenged due to a declining response rates and a sharp increase in persons switching to cell phone services by eliminating landline services. Given the popularity of RDD surveys in government, academic, political and market research field, it is important to address these challenges and discuss how to minimize the impact of these challenges. The panel members in this session will represent some of the large-scale RDD surveys in the US: National Immunization Survey, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, National Household Education Survey, and California Health Interview Survey. The panel will discuss challenges that each survey faces, findings from studies examining challenges, and its future plans. This session will be of interest to those who practice RDD survey for data collection.
