Using the census planning database to generate differential expected yield rates to self-administered mail surveys
Lewis, T., & McMichael, J. (2023). Using the census planning database to generate differential expected yield rates to self-administered mail surveys. Field Methods, 35(2), 160-165. Article 1525822X221074764. https://doi.org/10.1177/1525822X221074764
Expected yield rates are essential to a survey's data collection plan, as they inform requisite sample sizes to meet the survey's objectives. Given an overall expected yield rate for a self-administered mail survey, this short take describes a simple method for using the Census Planning Database to assign differential yield rates to lower-level geographies within the study area.
