Mixed-mode surveys are popular as they can save costs and maintain (or improve) response rates relative to single-mode surveys.

Jean Philippe Décieux; Andreas Heinz – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2024
In times of decreasing response rates and survey participation, many 'best-practices' have been developed for increasing survey recruitment. However, most of these have never been adequately and experimentally scrutinized for their efficacy. Therefore, in this research note, we draw on probability-based data of an online panel and experimentally…

Jonas Elis; Achim Goerres; Sabrina J. Mayer; Dennis C. Spies – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2024
For hard-to-survey populations such as ethnic minorities and immigrants, increasing survey response rates is a crucial element of the fieldwork as these populations often show a higher likelihood of not participating compared with the native population. However, no study has so far compared different strategies for mobilisation within this group.…
