There are still a few places available for the following two events next week:
NatCen has been awarded funding by the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods to hold a number of events to promote the use of paradata (i.e. process data) in UK social surveys. There is growing awareness among producers and users of survey data of the potential benefits of using paradata to tackle some of the challenges that we are currently facing such as declining response rates, increasing risk of non-response bias, measurement error and spiralling costs of survey data collection.
