Overall Panel Response Rates
This table provides sample sizes and interview response rates for each survey year of the core biennial survey for panel members, new cohorts, and total.
| Wave | Panel 1 | New Cohort 2 | Total | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #Cases | #Respondents | Response Rate | #Cases | #Respondents | Response Rate | #Cases | #Respondents | Response Rate | |
Notes
- The panel figures are based on the sample for which interviews were attempted in that wave and exclude new cohorts.
- New cohort number cases reflects all individuals who were determined to be eligible for a baseline interview; number of respondents are those who completed an interview. The 2010 new cohort enrollment included a large expansion of the minority (Black and Hispanic) oversample. Panel response rates for this group have been comparable to the full sample.
- All panel Response Rates are calculated according to AAPOR RR6.
