Using Web Surveys to Reach Community College Students: An Analysis of Response Rates and Response Bias
Sax, Linda J.; Gilmartin, Shannon K.; Lee, Jenny J.; Hagedorn, Linda Serra
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v32 n9 p712-729 Sep 2008
This study was designed to examine response rates and bias among a sample of community college students who received a district-wide survey by standard mail or e-mail. Findings suggest that predictors of response and types of responses are not appreciably different across paper and online mail-out samples when these samples are "matched" in terms of key demographics. Rates of response, however, differ by mode of survey administration, gender, and race/ethnicity. (Contains 4 tables.)
