Abstract

In 2013, D3 Systems Inc. conducted a national face-to-face survey to better understand the telephone owning population in Egypt. While this study's primary purpose was to inform methodological decisions in designing subsequent computer-assisted telephone interviewing, additional information such as telephone usage habits was collected of respondents. In February of 2015, D3 Systems conducted a follow-up study by contacting these respondents again over the telephone. We present some of our initial findings and discuss results focused on possible bias resulting from the mode of surveying.
