Detailed explanation-1: -Nonresponse error in surveys arises from the inability to obtain a useful response to all survey items from the entire sample. A critical concern is when that nonresponse leads to biased estimates.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the best ways to minimize nonresponse bias is to use multiple modes of data collection. For example, researchers can use both telephone and online forms to conduct the survey. This approach allows researchers to reach people who may not respond to one mode of data collection but may respond to another.
Detailed explanation-3: -Telephone surveys have lower response rates and still provide some personal contact with respondents. They can also be costly but are generally less so than in-person interviews.
Detailed explanation-4: -Keep your surveys short and simple. Simplicity is key. Set expectations with your participants. Re-examine survey timing and distribution method. Provide an incentive to complete the survey. Send a friendly reminder. Close the loop.
