Abstract:
|
We use two web-and-mail surveys on US attitudes about the use of marijuana to demonstrate how a web-recruited cohort of adults can be integrated into an address-based sample of adults using a calibration-weighting procedure in the software language SUDAAN 11®. Delete-a-group jackknife weights for the integrated sample are then developed so that analysis of the combined set of respondents could be conducted and hypotheses derived from the data could be tested. We discuss the application of this approach first to a previous survey of Oregon residents and then to the nationwide survey.
