Quality and other technical information related to this item:
1993
The reinterview data indicated good reliability despite a slightly higher than average item
nonresponse on the mail questionnaires. Increased item nonresponse was probably the result
of (1) respondent fatigue and (2) a perceived association between D3 and D4. Some mode effects
were also evident. Respondents were more likely to answer "yes" by mail and "no" over the phone.
Item nonresponse on the unedited NSCG mail data was 10.6 percent and less than 1.0 for the NSRCG.
