  • Comparing ABS vs. Landline RDD Sampling Frames on the Phone Mode

    Survey Practice

    Recent coverage issues, such as cell phone only households, have raised concerns about the landline random digit dialing (RDD) sampling frame that previously has been a mainstay of telephone research. Address Based Sampling (ABS) has been suggested as a possible solution to these issues. We decided to explore the potential benefits and detriments of using ABS techniques for phone data collection. We concluded that we were fairly successful in driving the ABS unmatched sample respondents to the phone, but that the response rates were still very poor on the ABS unmatched sample. The response biases by different demographics were equivalent in the two sample frames and there were no significant differences in the grocery shopping behavior. Lastly, although the cost for dialing the matched ABS sample was less than the RDD sample, overall the ABS design was more expensive.
