在代表性调查中收集生物数据正变得越来越普遍，因为它们具有为研究和政策提供信息的潜力。然而，使用护士收集这些数据可能会导致意想不到的影响。在这篇文章中，我们通过观察来自英国的两项调查：了解社会和英国老龄化纵向研究的五波数据，调查了护士如何影响无反应过程。我们发现护士解释了对生物数据收集无反应的5%到14%的差异。我们还发现，年龄较大的护士在生物数据收集方面获得合作和同意的成功率更高，调查经验更丰富的护士更有可能成功采集血样。最后，我们表明，在无反应加权模型中包括护士的特征会导致生物标志物的总体估计值有轻微的变化。
Collecting biological data in representative surveys is becoming more common due to their potential to inform research and policy. Nevertheless, using nurses to collect these data can lead to unintended effects. In this paper, we investigate how nurses influence the non-response process by looking at five waves of data coming from two surveys in the UK: Understanding Society and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. We find that nurses explain between 5 and 14% of the variance in non-response to biological data collection. We also find that older nurses are more successful in obtaining cooperation and consent to biological data collection and nurses with more survey experience are more likely to successfully collect blood samples. Finally, we show that including nurse characteristics in non-response weighting models leads to modest changes in population estimates of biological markers.
