• Description:
  This report presents the results of field experiments that tested and evaluated alternative strategies for using the National Health Interview Survey as the sampling frame for the National Survey of Family Growth. Several design factors were tested, including two types of sampling unit, two modes of initial contact, and length of elapsed time between the two surveys. The criteria used in the evaluation were response rates, level of effort, and costs associated with the different design factors. The findings indicate that the experimental variables had little impact on response rates but differed significantly in level of effort and associated costs.
