Compensating for Provider Nonresponse Using Response Propensities to Form Adjustment Cells: The National Immunization Survey

Details

• Description:
  The National immunization Survey (Niss) uses two phases of data collection to obtain vaccination information from a sample of young children: a random-digit-dialing (RDD) survey for identifying households with children 19–35 months of age, followed by a mail survey for obtaining provider-reported vaccination histories about these children. Vaccination histories are used to estimate vaccination coverage rates. in 1998, provider-reported vaccination histories were not obtained for 32.9% of children with a completed RDD interview. This report describes the methods adopted in 1998 to reduce the bias in vaccination coverage estimates that could result from ‘‘vaccination history nonresponse,’’ that is, differences between children for whom provider data was obtained and those for whom it was not obtained.
