Abstract

Panel surveys provide particularly rich data for implementing adaptive and responsive survey designs. Not only are data from the current wave fieldwork available, but paradata and survey data as well as interviewer observations of all previous waves can be utilized to predict fieldwork outcomes. In PASS we implemented an adaptive survey design for panel cases. Those cases that are at greater risk of attrition shall be targeted in the 14th wave (in 2020) and be prioritized in the fieldwork. Prioritization will include increased respondent incentives and an increased interviewer premium.
