To measure and characterize nonresponse bias in an urban health survey by examining the profile of difficult-to-interview participants.
Conducted a methodological sub-study within the Master Sample Survey in the Washington Heights Health District.
Identified and analyzed a hard-to-obtain subsample requiring intensive follow-up contact attempts to evaluate socioeconomic representation.
Identified systematic socioeconomic disparities between readily accessible respondents and hard-to-obtain interviewees.
Demonstrated that failure to capture hard-to-reach populations leads to under- or overrepresentation of key demographic groups in survey data.
