As RECENTLY noted by the American Statistical Association (1974) and by Berdie and Anderson (1976), there is a high degree of variability in the definition of response rates currently employed by survey researchers. The absence of a standard definition has caused a great deal of confusion regarding the interpretation of reported response rates and has frustrated methodological investigations because of a lack of comparative data. The response rate should reflect the degree to which a researcher succeeds in obtaining the cooperation of all potential respondents included in the sample. Accordingly, it is logical to define it as the proportion of all sample members who are eligible to participate in the survey from whom a complete and usable set of data is collected. This is expressed in formula (1).
