Not for academic credit workshop (*Remote participation option available)
RSD has financial support available to those who qualify
Responsive survey design (RSD) refers to a method for designing surveys that has been demonstrated to increase the quality and efficiency of survey data collection. RSD uses evidence from early phases of data collection to make design decisions for later phases. Beginning in the 2018 Summer Institute, we will offer a series of eleven one-day short courses in RSD techniques.
*Remote participation option: It is not necessary to be physically in Ann Arbor to participate in these workshops. Students who cannot be in Ann Arbor can enroll and join sessions via BlueJeans (https://www.bluejeans.com/). Once enrollment is confirmed via email, indicate if course attendance will be in person, in Ann Arbor or via BlueJeans. Survey Methodology for Randomized Controlled Trails does not have the remote participation option.
This course will provide participants with an overview of the primary concepts underlying RSD. This will include discussion of the uncertainty in survey design, the role of paradata, or data describing the data collection process, in informing decisions, and potential RSD interventions. These interventions include timing and sequence of modes, techniques for efficiently deploying incentives, and combining two-phase sampling with other design changes. Interventions appropriate for face-to-face, telephone, web, mail and mixed-mode surveys will be discussed. Using the Total Survey Error (TSE) framework, the main concepts behind these designs will be explained with a focus on how these principles are designed to simultaneously control survey errors and survey costs. Examples of RSD in both large and small studies will be provided as motivation. Small group exercises will help participants to think through some of the common questions that need to be answered when employing RSD.
