| NCES 2006066 | Impact of Monetary Incentives and Mailing Procedures: An Experiment in a Federally Sponsored Telephone Survey
The National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES) includes a series of random digit dial (RDD) surveys developed by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education. It is designed to collect information on important educational issues through telephone surveys of households in the United States. This report describes an experiment conducted in NHES:2003. The goal of the experiment was to test the effectiveness of various levels of incentives in gaining increased initial cooperation, refusal conversion, and overall unit response rates. Approximately 79,000 telephone numbers were included in the experiment. The results of the experiment indicate that small cash incentives, used during initial contact stages of the interview process (the Screener stage), can be effective in improving unit response, at least for NHES collections. |

| NCES 98255 | An Experiment in Random-Digit-Dial Screening
This report presents the design and results of this experiment in random-digit-dial (RDD) screening. It begins with an overview of the National Household Education Survey (NHES) system, then proceeds through the design, data collection, and analysis of the data from the experiment. Because the NHES:95 was the first survey in this ongoing data collection system to use full enumeration of all household members in all sampled households, it was suspected that this approach was a likely factor in the decline of the screening response rate. A systematic experiment was developed and executed to examine the impact of the full enumeration approach on survey response. The experiment also included a test of an advance letter to households for which addresses could be obtained, based on the success of a nonresponse letter utilized in the NHES:95. |
