Unit Nonresponse and Weighting Adjustments: A Critical Review (2013, methodology): “Responsive design makes changes to data collection strategies during data collection when one recruitment protocol is no longer successful in getting responses from sampled units, especially units with differing characteristics (Groves and Heeringa 2006).”
Using paradata to explore item level response times in surveys (2013, unknown): “The NSFG cycle 6 was designed as a multiphase survey, using responsive design to reduce non-response bias (Groves and Heeringa, 2006).”
Increasing Web Survey Response Rates in Innovation Research: An Experimental Study of Static and Dynamic Contact Design Features (2013, unknown): “An interesting recent development is the idea to minimize costs by conducting surveys in multiple phases and to modify the survey strategy in response to observed response patterns over time (“responsive design”) (Groves and Heeringa, 2006; Wagner, 2008).”
Indicators for the representativeness of survey response (2009, background): “Groves & Heeringa (2006) call these mid-survey decisions to change the design “responsive survey design”.”
Contemporary Guidance for Stated Preference Studies (2017, background): “…and Ye 2013; Mercer et al. 2015), advance letters (de Leeuw et al. 2007), multiple contact attempts (Dillman et al. 2014), two-phase sampling (Groves and Heeringa 2006), refusal “conversion” (persuading reluctant respondents to take part despite their objections), and longer field periods…”
Consequences of Survey Nonresponse (2013, background): “…less interested or have lower topic involvement participate at lower rates, they are also influenced to a greater extent by incentives, suggesting that the provision of incentives can reduce nonresponse bias (Groves et al. 2006; Groves, Presser, and Dipko 2004; Groves, Singer, and Corning 2000).”
Do low survey response rates bias results? Evidence from Japan (2015, methodology): “This approach has been termed " responsive design " (Groves and Heeringa 2006), and the part of the data collection process where the revised protocol is used is the " response phase.”
