Abstract:

With ongoing protests and civil unrest, a population with rapidly changing opinions, and a future in flux, reliable and timely survey data is difficult to collect in Egypt. In spite of political and social challenges to conducting surveys in Egypt, D3 Systems, Inc. has conducted two large-scale national probability surveys with a focus on better understanding the telephone owning population. The first survey is a national dual-mode RDD probability survey that was fielded in two waves in the summer of 2013. The second survey is a national face-to-face multi-stage probability survey, designed to measure the telephone owning population in Egypt. The latter study was introduced at the 2013 JSM without final data which was delayed due to the unrest. We explore the methodologies, resulting samples and discuss how the results of the F2F survey impact our CATI sample designs.
