2005 Summary Data Quality Report

This report provides selected statistical indicators of data quality in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The report presents data on three general types of measures by state1:

(1) Outcome measures, including response rates, which are based on disposition codes.

(2) Selection biases with respect to sex, age, and race/ethnicity.

(3) Missing values of income.

The measures in this report are designed to document the quality of BRFSS data.2 “Data quality” in this report refers to the accuracy of BRFSS data.

Outcome Measures

The factors affecting the distribution of disposition codes by state may be grouped into differences in telephone systems, sample designs, surveyed populations, and data collection processes. Different outcome measures are variously affected by differences in these factors.

Table 1 presents brief descriptions of each final call disposition code. For more information on the BRFSS protocol and process for assigning disposition codes, as well as a list of interim disposition codes, see the BRFSS 2005 Year-to-Date Data Quality Report Handbook.

Tables 2 and 3 present the frequency of the thirty-two individual final disposition codes by state. Table 1 shows the distribution of all telephone numbers of determined eligibility status in the sample. Table 2 presents this distribution for numbers of unknown eligibility.

Table 4 shows the frequency distribution and Table 5 shows the percent (of all numbers in the sample) distribution of disposition codes for each state grouped into several descriptive categories. The categories shown in Tables 4 and 5 and used in the calculations of the outcome rates in Table 6 are defined below. P in the table below is the proportion of records with a final disposition code of 210 for which more than half of the core questionnaire prior to the demographics section was completed. An interview is considered to be more than fifty percent complete if any question in the Excess Sun Exposure section or a later section has a value other than 7 or 9. These interviews are included in the response rate numerator but are not used in calculating estimates of risk factors and prevalence estimates.

Table 6 provides seven outcome rates for each state that are used to measure respondent cooperation, data quality, and data collection efficiency. The Resolution Rate is the proportion of all telephone numbers in the sample for which the status of the numbers as households with working numbers has been resolved. Records for which household status remains unknown are excluded from the numerator. The formula for the Resolution Rate is

Formula: The sum of completed interviews, terminations and refusals, possibly eligible known households, ineligible households, commercial numbers, and non-working numbers divided by the number of total cases.

The Screening Completion Rate is the proportion of all known households in which the presence or absence of an eligible respondent has been determined and in which, for eligible households, an interviewer actually spoke to the selected respondent. Households in which the presence or absence of an adult is unknown are excluded from the numerator. Its formula is

Formua: the sum of completed interviews, terminations and refusals, and ineligible households divided by the sum of the numerator and possibly eligible known households.

The Interview Completion Rate is the proportion of contacted selected respondents who successfully complete an interview. This rate is a type of cooperation rate. An alternate response rate definition is the product of these three rates. The formula for the Interview Completion Rate is

Formula: the number of completed interviews divided by the sum of the completed interviews and terminations and refusals.

The Cooperation Rate is the proportion of all respondents interviewed of all eligible units in which a respondent was selected and actually contacted. Non-contacts are excluded from the denominator. This rate is based on contacts with households containing an eligible respondent. The denominator of the rate includes completed interviews plus the number of non-interviews that involve the identification of and contact with a selected respondent. A Cooperation Rate below 65 percent may indicate some problem with interviewing techniques. The denominator of the Cooperation Rate consists of records with disposition codes of 110, 120, 210, 220, 250, and 260. Thus, the formula for the BRFSS Cooperation Rate is

Formula: the number of completed interviews divided by the sum of the completed interviews, terminations and refusals, the selected respondent language problem code, and the selected respondent unable to complete code.

A Response Rate is an outcome rate with the number of complete and partial interviews in the numerator and an estimate of the number of eligible units in the sample in the denominator. A proportion of the terminations (210) are included as partial interviews in the BRFSS CASRO Response Rate calculation because more than fifty percent of the core questionnaire was completed for these telephone numbers. The BRFSS CASRO Response Rate calculation assumes that the unresolved numbers contain the same percentage of eligible households as the records whose eligibility or ineligibility are determined. This estimated level of eligibility provides a conservative response rate due to the fact that the proportion of these unknown eligible telephone numbers that are eligible is probably quite low, given the fifteen or more call attempts required by BRFSS protocol. The formula for the BRFSS CASRO Rate is

Formula: The numerator of the BRFSS CASRO Rate is the number of completed interviews. Its denominator consists of the sum of completes, partial completes, eligible non-interviews, and the estimated proportion of cases of unknown eligibility that are eligible. The estimated proportion of cases of unknown eligibility that are eligible is determined by multiplying the cases of unknown eligibility by a factor calculating the proportion of cases of determined eligibility that are eligible. This factor is calculated by dividing the sum of completes, partial completes, and eligible non-interviews by the sum of this numerator and the ineligible cases.

The response rate is an indicator of the potential for bias in the results of a survey. It does not indicate the actual amount of bias. The actual amount of bias can be conceptualized as a function of two factors—the amount of non-response, which is measured by a response rate, and the differences between the respondents and the non-respondents. A response rate does not address the latter factor. If the non-respondents are highly similar to the respondents for the characteristics of interest, then even a low response rate will result in little non-response bias.

Table 6 also presents the BRFSS Overall Response Rate. The Overall Response Rate is a more conservative response rate that assumes that more unknown records are eligible and thus includes a higher proportion of all numbers in the denominator. The rate assumes that all likely households are households and that 98 percent of known or probable households contain an adult who uses the telephone number.

The Overall Response Rate formula is

Formula: The number of completed interviews divided by ninety-eight percent of all known or probable households.

The BRFSS Refusal Rate is the proportion of all eligible respondents that refused to complete an interview or terminated an interview prior to the threshold required to be considered a partial interview. Refusals and terminations (TERE) are in the numerator, and the denominator is the same as that of the Response Rate. This formula is

Formula: The numerator of the BRFSS CASRO Rate is the number of completed interviews. Its denominator consists of the sum of completes, partial completes, eligible non-interviews, and the estimated proportion of cases of unknown eligibility that are eligible. The estimated proportion of cases of unknown eligibility that are eligible is determined by multiplying the cases of unknown eligibility by a factor calculating the proportion of cases of determined eligibility that are eligible. This factor is calculated by dividing the sum of completes, partial completes, and eligible non-interviews by the sum of this numerator and the ineligible cases.

Selection Biases

Tables 7 through 14 present data on the differences between BRFSS and population data with respect to sex, age, and race/ethnicity by state. In these tables, BRFSS data are weighted for the characteristics of the sample design—disproportionate sampling by geographic and density strata (where they exist), number of phones, and number of adults in the household.3 Population data is purchased from Claritas, Inc., each year. Since these factors are built into the sample design, they should be adjusted for before comparing survey distributions to population distributions. No definitive standards exist with respect to what constitutes a substantial difference between survey and population percentages. One approach would be to examine the distribution of discrepant values with the purpose of identifying extreme values, or outliers, which may indicate biased data. The presence or absence of a minus sign (‘-‘) in the difference column should not be interpreted as an indicator of potential bias in the data.

Income Missing Values

Table 15 presents the percent missing (Don’t know/Not sure, Refused, or either) income by state. Income is the variable in the survey data with the largest percentage of missing values. A larger percentage of missing values for income implies lower quality data for income and, by extension, for other variables.

 





 
Table 1. Summary of 2005 BRFSS Final Disposition Codes and Rules
Code Description Definition Callback Rules
100 Interview
110 Complete Selected respondent meets the criteria for a 120 and has completed the interview through the last question. Give final disposition upon completion of interview.
120 Partial Complete Sex and three or more questions from age, race, ethnicity, marital status, education, employment status, county, and existence of more than one telephone number have been answered with a response other than ‘Don’t know/Not sure’ or ‘Refused’. Make a second attempt to fully complete the interview after first refusal or termination. Give final disposition on the second attempt if interview is not completed or, on the fifteenth or subsequent attempt, even if there is only one occurrence of a refusal or termination.
200 Non-Interview, Household with Eligible Respondent
210 Termination within Questionnaire A hang-up or other termination after the first question in the core has been asked and it or a subsequent question has received a response other than ‘Don’t know/Not sure’ or ‘Refused’. The selected respondent has not answered enough questions for the interview to qualify as a 120. Give final disposition after second refusal or termination or when a first-time refusal or termination will not be called a second time because of an irate respondent. On the fifteenth or later attempt, give final disposition after a single refusal or termination.
220 Refusal after Respondent Selection A termination after respondent selection but before respondent has given a response other than Don’t know/Not sure or Refused to one or more questions in the core. The refusals can come from any adult in the household and the initial refusal could have come before respondent selection. Give final disposition after second refusal or when a first-time refusal will not be called a second time because of an irate respondent. On the fifteenth or subsequent call attempt, give final disposition even if there is only one occurrence of a refusal.
230 Selected Respondent Not Reached during Interview Period Selected respondent was never spoken to or was spoken to and asked to be called again later one or more times. Includes instances where the selected respondent was away from residence for part of the interviewing period. Give final disposition only after at least 5 calling occasions (each consisting of no more than 3 attempts at least one hour apart) for a minimum total of 15 attempts, and the 15 or more call attempts consist of at least 3 weekday, 3 weeknight, and 3 weekend calls.
240 Selected Respondent Away during Entire Interview Period Selected respondent is expected to be away from residence during the entire interviewing period, for example, because of travel or a hospital stay. Give final disposition when informed of absence.
250 Language Problem after Respondent Selection After respondent selection, the selected or another respondent does not speak English or another language for which an interviewer and translated questionnaire are available well enough to be interviewed. Give final disposition the first time a selected respondent is contacted who does not adequately speak a language for which an interviewer and questionnaire are available or the second time such a respondent who cannot answer the screening questions is contacted.
260 Selected Respondent Unable to Complete an Interview The selected respondent has a physical or mental condition that prevents the completion of an interview and that condition is expected to last through the entire interviewing period. This includes a temporary condition that will last beyond the interviewing period. Give final disposition (1) the first time a selected respondent is contacted or is described by someone else as unable to complete an interview during the interviewing period or (2) the second time a respondent who is physically or mentally impaired is contacted.
270 Termination after Number of Adults Recorded Respondent hangs up or terminates call attempt after answering the number of adults question but before answering the number of men and number of women questions. This differs from 280 in that the respondent explicitly refuses. Give final disposition after second hang-up or termination or when a first-time hang-up or termination will not be called a second time because of an irate respondent.
280 Household Contact after Number of Adults Recorded Respondent answers the number of adults question and asks to be called again later but the number of men and number of women is never determined. On the surface, this is a postponement that was never re-started but may be an implicit refusal. Give final disposition only after (a) at least 5 calling occasions (each consisting of no more than 3 attempts at least one hour apart) for a minimum total of 15 call attempts, and (b) the 15 or more call attempts consist of at least 3 weekday calls, 3 weeknight calls, and 3 weekend calls.
300 Non-Interview, Eligibility Undetermined
305 Household Members Away from Residence A house sitter, house cleaner, or other non-member of a household states that all of the household members will be away from the residence during the entire interviewing period. Give final disposition when informed.
310 Termination, Housing Unit, Unknown if Eligible A respondent hangs up or terminates a call attempt before answering the number of adults question. This differs from 315 in that the respondent explicitly refuses. Give final disposition after second hang-up or termination or when a first-time hang-up or termination will not be called a second time because of an irate respondent. If the first occurrence is on the fifteenth or subsequent call attempt, give final disposition.
315 Household Contact, Eligibility Undetermined A respondent verified that the number reaches a private residence and asked to be called again later but the number of adults in the household was never determined. On the surface, this is a postponement that was never re-started but may be an implicit refusal. Give final disposition only after (a) at least 5 calling occasions (each consisting of no more than 3 attempts at least one hour apart) for a minimum total of 15 call attempts, and (b) the 15 or more call attempts consist of at least 3 weekday calls, 3 weeknight calls, and 3 weekend calls.
320 Language Problem before Respondent Selection A respondent who does not speak English or another language for which an interviewer and translated questionnaire are available well enough to answer the screening questions answers the telephone twice before selection. Give final disposition after second contact with a respondent who does not speak a language for which there is a translated questionnaire and interviewer available. If the first occurrence is on the fifteenth or subsequent call attempt, give final disposition.
325 Impairment before Respondent Selection A respondent whose physical or mental impairment prevents him or her from completing the screening questions answers the phone twice before respondent selection. Give final disposition after second contact with a physically or mentally impaired respondent. If the first occurrence is on the fifteenth or subsequent call attempt, give final disposition.
330 Termination, Unknown if Household A respondent hangs up or terminates a call attempt before confirming that the telephone number rings to a private residence. Give final disposition after second termination or when a first-time hang-up or termination will not be called a second time because of an irate respondent. If the first occurrence is on the fifteenth or subsequent call attempt, give final disposition.
332 Contact, Unknown if Household A respondent did not verify that the telephone number reaches a private residence but asked to be called again. On the surface, this is a postponement that was never re-started but may be an implicit refusal. This differs from 330 in that the respondent never explicitly refuses. Give final disposition only after (a) at least 5 calling occasions (each consisting of no more than 3 attempts at least one hour apart) for a minimum total of 15 call attempts, and (b) the 15 or more call attempts consist of at least 3 weekday calls, 3 weeknight calls, and 3 weekend calls.
335 Answering Device, Message Confirms Household One or more call attempts reached an answering machine but no person was ever spoken to. The message confirms that the telephone number reaches a private residence by using the words, “home,” “house,” “family,” “residence,” or a family name. Give final disposition only after (a) at least 5 calling occasions (each consisting of no more than 3 attempts at least one hour apart) for a minimum total of 15 call attempts, and (b) the 15 or more call attempts consist of at least 3 weekday calls, 3 weeknight calls, and 3 weekend calls.
340 Technological Barrier, Message Confirms Household Call attempts reached a call blocking message, a message asking the caller to identify himself or herself, or other automated message, but no person. A message confirms that the telephone number reaches a private residence. Give final disposition only after (a) at least 5 calling occasions (each consisting of no more than 3 attempts at least one hour apart) for a minimum total of 15 call attempts, and (b) the 15 or more call attempts consist of at least 3 weekday calls, 3 weeknight calls, and 3 weekend calls.
345 Answering Device, Unsure If Household One or more call attempts reached a telephone answering machine but no person. The message leaves open the possibility that the telephone number is reaching a private residence but it does not explicitly state so. Give final disposition only after (a) at least 5 calling occasions (each consisting of no more than 3 attempts at least one hour apart) for a minimum total of 15 call attempts, and (b) the 15 or more call attempts consist of at least 3 weekday calls, 3 weeknight calls, and 3 weekend calls.
350 Technological Barrier, Unsure if Household Attempts reached a call blocking message, a message asking the caller to identify himself or herself, or other automated response, but no person. There is no message or a message does not specify if the number is a private residence. Give final disposition only after (a) at least 5 calling occasions (each consisting of no more than 3 attempts at least one hour apart) for a minimum total of 15 call attempts, and (b) the 15 or more call attempts consist of at least 3 weekday calls, 3 weeknight calls, and 3 weekend calls.
355 Number Has Changed Status from Possible Household to Non-Working On the second or subsequent call attempt, a telephone number responds with a message indicating that the telephone number called is a non-working number or has been changed and there is at least one relevant previous interim disposition indicating the number was working. Give final disposition when notified.
360 No Answer Among telephone numbers that no person or device ever answered, half or more of the call attempts resulted in a normal telephone ring that no one answered. Give final disposition only after (a) at least 5 calling occasions (each consisting of no more than 3 attempts at least one hour apart) for a minimum total of 15 call attempts, and (b) the 15 or more call attempts consist of at least 3 weekday, 3 weeknight, and 3 weekend calls.
365 Busy Among telephone numbers which no person or device ever answered, more than half of the call attempts resulted in a normal busy signal. Give final disposition only after (a) at least 5 calling occasions (each consisting of no more than 3 attempts at least 10 minutes apart) for a minimum total of 15 call attempts, and (b) the 15 or more call attempts consist of at least 3 weekday calls, 3 weeknight calls, and 3 weekend calls. If possible, contact the telephone company repair service to verify the number is in service.
370 On “Never Call” List To be assigned to (those few) telephone numbers that the BRFSS State Coordinator has determined, before calling begins, should not be called. This disposition should never be assigned to a telephone number with one or more call attempts.
400 Not Eligible
405 Out-of-state The telephone number rings out-of-state. Give final disposition when informed. This code should take priority over other possible final disposition codes.
410 Household, No Eligible Respondent No one 18 years of age or older uses the telephone. To be assigned when no one in the household is 18 years of age or older or the telephone number is used by a teen under the age of 18 and the parents do not use that phone. Give final disposition when informed.
420 Not a Household The person answering the phone or an answering machine identifies the telephone number as a business, a group quarters, a vacant or seasonally vacant housing unit, a pager, or a dedicated fax/data line. Give final disposition when informed.
430 Dedicated Fax/data Line with No Human Contact A telephone number used only as a fax, data, or modem line. Give final disposition only after at least 2 calling occasions for a minimum of 6 attempts with at least one relevant interim disposition code.
440 Fast Busy A telephone number with at least one interim disposition of “Fast Busy” and all other interim dispositions are “No Answer,” “Busy,” “Possible Non-working Number,” or “Circuit Busy.” Give final disposition only after at least 2 calling occasions (each consisting of no more than 3 attempts at least one hour apart) for a minimum total of 6 call attempts with at least one relevant interim disposition code.
450 Non-working/ Disconnected Number Usually recognized by a tritone, a recording, a number that consistently rings to an incorrect number, or a number that cannot be verified by a respondent. This code also includes numbers that are pre-identified as non-working numbers by GENESYS. Give final disposition when the criteria are met. If 15 call attempts are required, give final disposition only after at least 5 calling occasions for a minimum total of 15 call attempts, and the 15 or more call attempts consist of at least 3 weekday calls, 3 weeknight calls, and 3 weekend calls.
