Description:

This course focuses on the design and deployment of mixed-mode surveys (e.g., combining Web surveys with postal or interviewer-administered surveys, or telephone and face-to-face surveys). The course provides an overview of the different approaches to mixed-mode survey design, presents a summary of what is known and not known about mixing survey modes, and offers a set of guidelines to help researchers make decisions about mixing modes of data collection, design survey instruments for mixed-mode surveys, and analyse data from mixed-mode surveys.

The course covers:

  • A review of different modes of data collection and their advantages and disadvantages
  • An overview of different ways in which modes can be mixed
  • A discussion of the terminology of mixed-mode surveys, including concurrent and sequential designs
  • A review of the literature on mixed-mode designs, focusing on inferential issues (sampling, coverage and nonresponse) and measurement error issues
  • A review of the literature and practical discussion of instrument design issues for mixed-mode surveys
  • A discussion of issues regarding the implementation of mixed-mode surveys, including costs
  • A discussion of analytic issues in dealing with data from mixed-mode surveys, including weighting
