Popis: This pilot study was designed to determine the relative strengths and weaknesses of ABS (mixed-mode web/telephone) as a sampling alternative to list-assisted RDD in a statewide study of a targeted population study of children’s health. Additionally, the pilot served as a feasibility study aimed at determining whether ABS can be used effectively for small studies (relative to national-scale data collection) that do not rely on substantial budgets. The results of this pilot study provide support for the contention that ABS sampling improves coverage (i.e., reduces coverage error) when compared to traditional RDD sampling.
