摘要: Robust response rates are essential for effective survey-based strategies. Researchers can improve survey validity by addressing both and nonresponse bias. In this AMEE Guide, we explain rate calculations discuss methods improving to surveys as a whole (unit nonresponse) questions within (item nonresponse). Finally, introduce the concept of bias provide simple measure it.
