Abstract It is increasingly difficult to obtain participation rates in random digit dial (RDD) telephone designs that would allow researchers to have confidence in the validity and representativeness of the data collected. In a society where consumers have a range of choices in nearly everything they do (for instance, banking in-person, at an ATM, or over the internet; or, selecting a movie on DVD, TV channel, or cable “movies on demand”), survey researchers need to develop modes of data collection to “fit the lifestyles” of sample members. For the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), collecting information via mail and the internet are two potential alternative modes to pure telephone data collection. This research provides results from a set of experiments conducted in 4 states, administering the BRFSS in three modes: web, mail, and CATI. Comparisons are made between the regular, monthly CATI-only results and self-administered web and mail with CATI follow-up alternatives. We examine differences in response rates, the types of sample members responding to each mode, and potential biases in the estimates obtained across modes.
