An International Workshop on Using Multi-level Data

SES-1051112汤姆·史密斯国家意见研究中心研讨会将汇集来自美国，欧洲和其他国家的专家和研究人员，讨论处理无回答偏见的各种方法，整合这些方法，并向调查研究界推荐最佳实践。与会者将包括领先的国际统计学家和调查方法学家，他们具有测量和调整无回答偏差的专业知识;主要社会科学调查项目的主要工作人员;以及主要政府和非政府调查研究组织的代表，如美国人口普查和瑞典统计局。研讨会的参与者将有专门知识进行前沿研究无反应偏见，指导社会科学研究项目，并管理主要的大型数据收集。研讨会将包括总结和综合无应答偏倚最新研究的演讲，概述该主题的研究现状和进一步发展的最佳前景，并确定研究和应用的具体建议。更广泛的影响研讨会将产生一个研究议程，以测试和完善已经确定的解决无应答偏倚的有前途的技术。 它还将提出最佳方法的建议，可以利用目前的最佳做法来检测和减少无应答偏倚。

SES-1051112Tom SmithNational Opinion Research CenterThe workshop will bring together experts and researchers from the United States, Europe, and other countries to discuss various approaches to deal with nonresponse bias, integrate these approaches, and recommend the best practice to the survey research community. Participants will include leading international statisticians and survey methodologists with expertise on the measurement of and adjustment for nonresponse bias; principal staff on major social-science survey projects; and representatives of major governmental and nongovernmental survey research organizations such as the US Census and Statistics Sweden. Workshop participants will have expertise in conducting cutting-edge research on nonresponse bias, directing social-science research programs, and managing major large data collections. Workshop sessions will include presentations summarizing and synthesizing the latest research on nonresponse bias, outlining the state of research on the topic and best prospects for further development, and identifying specific recommendations for both research and application. Broader ImpactThe workshop will produce a research agenda to test and refine the promising techniques that have already been identified to address nonresponse bias. It will also produce recommendations of the optimal ways that current best practices can be utilized to detect and reduce nonresponse bias.
