访谈者在数据收集过程中的观察结果目前被用来为响应性设计决策提供信息，扩大无响应性调整的协变量集，解释参与调查的原因，并评估无响应性偏差。然而，很少有人努力评估这种采访者观察的质量。本文利用洛杉矶家庭和邻里调查(L.A.FANS)的数据，检验了访谈者对邻里特征的观察的测量误差特性。在多水平模型中使用区块水平和采访者协变量来解释采访者在观察邻域特征时的变化。
Interviewer observations made during the process of data collection are currently used to inform responsive design decisions, to expand the set of covariates for nonresponse adjustments, to explain participation in surveys, and to assess nonresponse bias. However, little effort has been made to assess the quality of such interviewer observations. Using data from the Los Angeles Family and Neighbourhood Survey (L.A.FANS), this paper examines measurement error properties of interviewer observations of neighbourhood characteristics. Block level and interviewer covariates are used in multilevel models to explain interviewer variation in the observations of neighbourhood features.
