Abstract:
|
The U.S. Census Bureau recently developed a set of interviewer observations to support adaptive survey design across a host of Census-administrated surveys. Examples include the presence of smokers at the sample unit, the age composition of the sample unit, and the physical condition of the sample unit. Using paradata collected with the 2013 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), we estimate a set of response propensity models to isolate the predictive power of the new observational measures. We discuss our results in light of the potential future application of the interviewer observations in the NHIS.
