Abstract:

We examined potential nonresponse bias in a new multi-mode national survey of mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities and its association with the response rate. We used data from the 2010 SAMHSA Survey of Revenues and Expenses (SSR&E), which was linked to data from the census of substance abuse facilities in the 2010 National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) and the census of mental health facilities in the 2010 National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS). We compared a range of facility characteristics of respondents and nonrespondents to SSR&E using chi-squared statistics. We also examined the nature and strength of the association between response rates and a set of independent characteristics using a multivariate logistic regression model.
