A Mixed Method Survey of Characteristics of HIV Care Facilities: Medical Monitoring Project Facility Survey Project

A Mixed Method Survey of Characteristics of HIV Care Facilities: Medical Monitoring Project Facility Survey Project

In this paper, we describe the MMPFS methods designed to achieve a high response rate and minimal nonresponse bias—including the creation of the frame of facilities surveyed; survey instrument development; data collection methods including the development of multiple survey modes and phases of data collection and facility recruitment; response rates; and postsurvey data processing, including nonresponse bias analysis, weighting, and imputation.

Comparing Health Survey Data Cost and Quality Between Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel: Observational Study

Comparing Health Survey Data Cost and Quality Between Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel: Observational Study

Weighting these samples resulted in datasets that generally well matched the national estimates. The Knowledge Panel weights (maximum weight of 2.8) brought those data completely in line with national estimates, whereas weighting the MTurk data allowing for a maximum weight of 30 brought those data within a total absolute imbalance of 0.01 across the 6 demographic variables used to construct the weights. Table 6 shows other characteristics of the samples from each platform.

Improving the Efficiency of Inferences From Hybrid Samples for Effective Health Surveillance Surveys: Comprehensive Review of Quantitative Methods

Improving the Efficiency of Inferences From Hybrid Samples for Effective Health Surveillance Surveys: Comprehensive Review of Quantitative Methods

This trade-off becomes of elevated concern since with samples obtained from opt-in panels, typical geodemographic weighting adjustments may no longer be adequate for ensuring their representativity [5]. It has been suggested that with such samples more granular weighting and calibration adjustments become necessary to ameliorate their compromised representations [6].

Characterization and Correction of Bias Due to Nonparticipation and the Degree of Loyalty in Large-Scale Finnish Loyalty Card Data on Grocery Purchases: Cohort Study

Characterization and Correction of Bias Due to Nonparticipation and the Degree of Loyalty in Large-Scale Finnish Loyalty Card Data on Grocery Purchases: Cohort Study

Second, although we matched families with children, the number of children and their ages, which can clearly affect a household’s food purchases, were not used in weighting. Importantly, we were able to correct the differences only in the observed sociodemographic variables, and thus, unidentifiable selection bias cannot be ruled out. This may include factors that would be associated with willingness to participate, such as special dietary restrictions and socially excluded people.
