Age and Response Rates to Interview Sample Surveys
Abstract
The relationship between response rate--a basic indicator of the quality of survey data--and age is investigated. Standard definitions of general and age-specific response rates are presented first. In a systematic assessment of response rates by age, data from several large interview sample surveys and panel resurveys are then examined. Response rates are found to decline linearly with increasing age in both types of surveys, although the decline is not always statistically significant. Potential causes and consequences of low response rates among elderly persons are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
