Obtaining high response rates is sometimes difficult and expensive, but clearly plays a beneficial role in terms of improving data quality. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that simply boosting response to achieve a higher response rate will not in itself eradicate nonresponse bias. In this book the authors argue that high response rates should not be seen as a goal in themselves, but rather as part of an overall survey quality strategy based on random probability sampling and aim 410 0$aWiley series in survey methodology. 606 $aSocial surveys$xResponse rate 606 $aSocial surveys$xResponse rate$zEurope 606 $aPublic opinion polls 606 $aPublic opinion$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial surveys$xResponse rate. 615 0$aSocial surveys$xResponse rate 615 0$aPublic opinion polls. 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a001.4 676 $a301.072/3 701 $aStoop$b Ineke A.
