Administration of National Self-Completion Survey with Randomised Experiments for University of Essex

About

University of Essex awarded a contract to Ivor Knox Consulting for the administration of a national survey designed to experimentally test the impact of different within-household selection approaches—next-birthday selection for one-person per household versus allowing any two adults to answer.

The scope included sample selection, printing and mailing survey invites, paper questionnaires and reminders, data entry from paper questionnaires, managing survey data and paradata, and delivering a clean, labelled and documented data file to an agreed specification.

The survey incorporated two randomised experiments requiring careful implementation.

The contract value was AUD 125,000.
