Using paradata to study response to within-survey requests

Beschreibung

"The remainder of this chapter is organized around the types of within-survey requests that are increasingly being made within survey interviews. I give particular attention to the following requests: administrative data linkage consent, consent to biomeasure collection, data collection mode switch, and income item response. In each section, I provide a brief review of each type of request and summarize what is known about those who fail to take part. Then I give a more in-depth example of how paradata have been used to study response to each type of within-survey request. This is achieved by summarizing a published study from the literature for each of the first three requests (data linkage, biomeasures, and mode switch). For income item response, I present results from an unpublished analysis. Most of the presented examples are based on panel survey data, which tend to have more paradata at their disposal compared to cross-sectional surveys. Finally, I suggest possible uses of paradata for purposes of identifying potentially reluctant respondents and implementing intervention strategies aimed at reducing within-survey nonresponse."
