Improving surveys with paradata: Introduction

Abstract

"The chapters in the first part of this book review the current use of paradata and make general suggestions about paradata design principles. The second section includes several case studies for the use of paradata in survey production, either concurrently or through post hoc evaluations of production features. Chapters in the last section discuss challenges involved in the collection and use of paradata, including the collection of paradata in web surveys. Before reading the individual book chapters, it is helpful to discuss some common definitions and to gain an overview of the framework that shaped the structure of this book and the write-up of the individual chapters."
