Recruitment and Retention in Multi-Mode Survey Panels

Abstract:

This study builds on a previously published panel recruitment experiment (Rao, Kaminska, and McCutcheon 2010), extending that analysis to an examination of the effectiveness of pre-recruitment factors such as mode and response inducements on three post-recruitment panel participation effects: attrition rates, survey completion rates, and panel data quality. The panel recruitment experiment, conducted with the Gallup Panel, netted 1,282 households with 2,042 panel members. For these recruited members, we collected data on panel participation and retention, and use it for analysis in this study. Read more
