2013 Census Test
2013 Census Test
In the 2013 Census Test we were examining the operational feasibility of the use of existing government data sources to reduce nonresponse followup (NRFU) workload and a modified strategy for case assignments to increase NRFU productivity. Preliminary results were factored into the 2014 Census Test.
The methods explored in the 2013 Census Test included: 1) using existing government data sources (records already provided to the government) to reduce the NRFU workload; 2) reducing the number of contact attempts to try to obtain a census response; 3) using a more flexible case management strategy to control personal visits to households to obtain a response; and 4) using telephone to make initial contact attempts to obtain a census response. These methods were tested in an experimental design that permitted comparisons of different kinds of existing government data sources use, number of contacts, case management, and telephone contacts.
