EFFECTS OF TELEPHONE TECHNOLOGIES AND CALL SCREENING DEVICES ON SAMPLING, WEIGHTING AND COOPERATION IN A RANDOM DIGIT DIALING (RDD) SURVEY

The National Household Education Survey (NHES) is a household survey sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The survey is a random digit dial (RDD), computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) and has been conducted in the spring of 1991, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1999, and 2001. A special study of adults (Adult Special Study) was conducted in conjunction with the NHES:1999. One of the main goals of the Adult Special Study was to gather information on telephone technologies that could affect survey response rates or weighting procedures.
