The UK Longitudinal Studies Centre is hosting a seminar on
"The Optimal Timing of Data Collection Waves and Quality of
Retrospective Recall Data"
4th July 2007, University of Essex, UK
The seminar will focus on understanding what determines the ability of
respondents to recall and report past events and behaviours accurately,
how respondents’ ability to recall events in response to survey
questions can be improved by appropriate ‘cues’ or memory aids, and the
implications for identifying an appropriate interval between panel
waves. The seminar will include 4 invited speakers and a lot of time for
discussion, in order to stimulate methodological research ideas and
research activity in this area.
