Abstract With increasing survey costs, reduced participation rates, and a greater need for timely and domain specific estimates to inform treatment and policy decisions, interest has grown in the use of data obtained from unconventional sampling to supplement or replace traditional survey programs. Given these unconventional data sources may result in unknown levels of bias in their estimates, we explore the use of composite model-based estimation methods to blend data from an unconventional sample with parallel data from a traditional probability-based sampling strategy. We present a number of approaches for blending data from two sources. We then study their utility in a large simulation study based on public use data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). We show that use of the proposed methods enables one to determine the fitness of use of an unconventional data source and to leverage such data appropriately to fulfill program objectives.
