Thesis (M.A.)--University of Alberta (Canada), 2007.

Telephone surveys have become a widely-used research tool. However, rapidly declining response rates and the associated threat of nonresponse bias call into question the validity of data obtained through this method. The research presented in this thesis employs fifteen years of data (1991--2005) obtained from the Alberta Survey, an annual random-digit-dialed household telephone survey conducted by the Population Research Lab at the University of Alberta, to investigate the extent, nature, and implications of declining response rates. Trends in response rates and in the components of nonresponse are investigated as are changes in the degree of nonresponse bias present in five demographic variables, using the index of dissimilarity as a measure of bias. Results demonstrate a substantial decline in response rates and a corresponding increasing level of bias in variables related to respondent education and income. Implications of these results are investigated through poststratification analyses.
