1 Evidence-based Survey Operations Prof. Dr. Michael Bosnjak #GESISPanel 1
2 What is Survey Operations? Survey operations (i.e., survey implementation) encompasses all measures and procedures to field a data collection project. Overall goal: Reducing survey errors and biases in light of available resources and other restrictions, such as: type of target population feasible sampling procedures available measurement options legal and professional regulations financial resources Core tasks: Developing, monitoring, and documenting fielding-related study implementation solutions. 2
3 What is Survey Operations? Selection of topics addressed: Survey mode selection Contact and interaction plan development Incentive scheme Survey staff selection and development Field monitoring strategy and documentation Survey operations is ideally evidence-based, that is rooted in past research and best practices about what works, what doesn't, and why. 3
4 What is Evidence-based Survey Operations? Evidence-based survey operations (EBSO) emphasizes the use of evidence from well designed and conducted empirical research in survey operationsrelated decision making.... advocates that to the greatest extent possible decisions, guidelines and policies should be based on (ideally meta-analytic) evidence. favors a hierarchical model to weigh available evidence (see the Evidence Pyramid ).... promotes the use of formal, explicit methods to analyze evidence and makes it available to scholars, decision makers, and practitioners. 4

8 Examples for Applying EBSO GESIS Panel An open, probability-based omnibus access panel for the social sciences.

(to be released in January 2015) 8
9 GESIS Panel: Characteristics Probability-based access panel of individuals: General population in Germany, German speaking, years Recruited panelists from population registers (270 sampling points) and 7599 face-to-face interviews (CAPI) N= 4961 (2014 starting sample) Multi-mode surveys: 9 Web-based surveys (approx. 65% of panelists) Mail surveys (because of Internet coverage deficits in DE and sample composition bias concerns; approx. 35% of panelists) Experiments with 4 groups max. possible Bi-monthly data collection waves, approx. 20 minutes of interviewing time each.
