Abstract

Cell phones have produced a dramatic decline in household coverage in telephone surveys using RDD landline samples.  According to the most recent National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) estimates, more than one in every five American homes (20.2%) had only wireless telephones during the second half of 2008.  This limitation for telephone surveys using traditional RDD samples is now widely recognized, and dual frame samples are increasingly used in surveys to address it.
