Leah Christian, Christopher Hansen, Martha McRoy and Zoe Slowinski- Texting in Mixed-Mode Studies: Results from Recent Research Experimentation

Texting in Mixed-Mode Studies: Results from Recent Research Experimentation Using multiple modes of contact has been found to increase participation in surveys over a single contact mode. Text messaging has emerged as a new mode to contact survey participants in mixed-mode survey designs, especially for surveys that include web and/or phone data collection. However, it has been unclear how to best combine text messages with mailings and other outreach contacts to improve response…

Frauke Kreuter - Leveraging AI for Survey Research - JPSM MPSDS Seminar

Frauke Kreuter Leveraging AI for Survey ResearchThis presentation scrutinizes the transformative potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) insurvey research, focusing on three critical areas: questionnaire design, synthetic data creation, and the role of LLMs as qualitative interviewers. In the domain of questionnaire design, the lecture delves into if and how LLMs can construct contextually accurate and highly effective survey items. However ,there are valid concerns about the model’s…

Rebecca Andridge - When “representative” surveys fail: Can a non-ignorable missingness mechanism explain bias in estimates of COVID-19 vaccine uptake? - JPSM MPSDS Seminar

JPSM MSPDS Seminar March 13, 2024 When “representative” surveys fail: Can a non-ignorable missingness mechanism explain bias in estimates of COVID-19 vaccine uptake? Recently, attention was drawn to the failure of two very large internet-based probability surveys to correctly estimate COVID-19 vaccine uptake in the U.S. in early 2021. Both the Delphi-Facebook COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey (CTIS) and Census Household Pulse Survey (HPS) overestimated vaccine uptake…

6th Likert Symposium: Meeting Respondents Where They Are

6th Annual Likert Workshop Meeting Respondents Where They Are March 8,2024 Survey measurement is complicated. We strive to ask questions that respondents understand and can answer as we intend them to. But often there is a gulf between the ideal respondents we design questions for and the real respondents who answer them. The Sixth Annual Likert symposium features four presentations about the speakers' experiences incorporating the respondents’ perspective and circumstances into the…

Martin Slawski - Recent Developments and Open Problems in Post-Linkage Data Analysis - JPSM MPSDS Seminar

Recent Developments and Open Problems in Post-Linkage Data Analysis Record linkage and subsequent data analysis of the linked file with suitable propagation of uncertainty can be performed if the analyst also happens to be the linker or at least has comprehensive information about how the data were linked. However, it is rather common that the two processes are considered in a separate fashion, with the analyst being handed a linked file that is possibly subject to substantial…

2020 California Neighborhoods Count: A validation of U.S. Census Population Counts and Housing Characteristic Estimates within California In response to long-standing concerns about the accuracy of census data and about a possible undercount, we conducted the California Neighborhoods Count (CNC) study — the first-ever independent, survey-based enumeration to directly evaluate the accuracy of the U.S. Census Bureau's population totals for a subset of California census…

Jeremy Seeman - Flexible Formal Privacy for Public Data Curation - JPSM MPSDS Seminar - November 1, 2023

Flexible Formal Privacy for Public Data Curation Researchers rely extensively on public datasets disseminated by official statistics agencies, universities, non-governmental organizations, and other data curators. With the increasing availability of data and computing power comes increased threats to privacy, as published statistics can more easily be used to reconstruct sensitive personal data. Formal privacy (FP) methods, like differential privacy (DP), provably limit such information…
