Re-interviews – a case study WP2

This workshop discusses the methodology of using re-interviews to detect and correct measurement bias in social surveys. It explores the use of auxiliary data, paradata, and survey data from earlier waves in the re-interview process. The case study focuses on the example of the Labour Force Survey and Crime Victimisation Survey. The workshop also presents results and conclusions on the effectiveness of re-interviews as a viable option for bias correction in social surveys.

  2. Re-interviews to detect and correct measurement bias • Methodology to detect/correct mode-specific measurement bias demands for auxiliary data: • Administrative data or frame data that can be linked to the sample; • Paradata about nonresponse; • Paradata about measurement; • Survey data from earlier waves; • Re-interview: • To generate variables for calibration; • To generate repeated measurements; • Re-interviews originate from motivation that standard auxiliary data is too weak to break confounding between selection and measurement.

  3. Re-interviews – Example LFS 2011 Estimates for mode effect components for unemployment rate based on field experiment linked to Crime Victimisation Survey 2011. CVS contained LFS module to derive bbint MIMOD project - Mixed-Mode Designs in Social Surveys Rome, 11-12 April 2019

  4. Re-interview case study • Variable features: • Two ESS surveys: LFS and Health Survey/EHIS; • Three sizes of anticipated measurement bias: lower, middle and upper • Two measurement benchmarks: Web and telephone/F2F; • Two optimization criteria: MSE and sampling variance; • Three time horizons: One year, two years and five years; • Two measurement bias settings: time-independent and time-dependent; • Fixed features: • Fixed budget; • Sequential mixed-mode design is selection benchmark; MIMOD project - Mixed-Mode Designs in Social Surveys Rome, 11-12 April 2019

  5. Re-interview – MSE with time-independent bias Results measurement benchmark web and phone/F2F (T = 1, 2, 5 years) : MIMOD project - Mixed-Mode Designs in Social Surveys Rome, 11-12 April 2019

  6. Re-interview – Variance constraint Resultstime-independent and time-dependent measurement bias MIMOD project - Mixed-Mode Designs in Social Surveys Rome, 11-12 April 2019

  7. Conclusions • Summary results: • Under variance criterion, re-interviews are not a viable option; • Under MSE criterion, re-interviews can be a viable option: • Especially for Health Survey/EHIS; • Especially for telephone/F2F benchmark; • Time horizon only mildly influential; • Future research: • Cost-benefit analysis may be repeated for other surveys and other ESS countries; • Re-interview should be piloted for an ESS survey; MIMOD project - Mixed-Mode Designs in Social Surveys Rome, 11-12 April 2019
