Cell-Phone-Only Households and Problems of Differential Nonresponse Using an Address-Based Sampling Design

Identifying and contacting cell-phone-only (CPO) households in an efficient and cost-effective manner is critical for many studies to ensure the representativeness of final survey estimates. With the advent of address-based sampling (ABS)—that is, the sampling of addresses from a database with near universal coverage of residential households—researchers have an alternative to cell-phone frame sampling for identifying and surveying these...
