1 Examples of cost calculation for various mixed mode approaches: Cost drivers and their effectiveness Stefan Klug and Birgit Schrödle DemoSCOPE Research & Marketing AG, Switzerland 1
2 Mixed mode in (commercial) practise Mixing modes is a rare case where something cheaper can be better than something more expensive. It is not a quality against price trade off. But, cost reduction is the side-effect and not the primary purpose for doing mixed mode. The primary purpose is to achieve a higher response rate by leaving the choice of interview mode to the respondent. Therefore, the trade off is between a (higher) mode error against a (lower ) non-response error. We find that in practice mixed mode surveying was abused as a sales argument to shift interview mode from CATI to CAWI instead of selling the advantage of combined samples. I believe that by introducing additional mode effect variance the total estimate is closer to reality than the single mode estimate. If this does not hold true, it is still true that mode effects can at least be described and understood (instead of being ignored). 2
3 Mixed mode in (commercial) practise Mixed mode designs to study mode effect: An interpretation of mixed mode? Fixing the distribution of Web and CATI e.g. to CATI and CAWI. The purpose for this is to achieve equal sample sizes to facilitate comparison and to decrease costs on a fixed base (by shifting the commercial risk to the institute). An even more technical variant is to randomly assign and enforce the interviewing mode instead of leaving the choice to the interviewee. Purpose is the elimination of self-selection bias from the mode bias. Mixed mode without free choice of mode is an interpretation of mixed mode. Such designs are applicable if the understanding of the mode effect is more important than the reduction of the nonresponse bias (with free choice of mode). 3
4 Definition: Mode vs. Device Mode Device Drivers of mode effects (examples) Presence of interviewer Presentation of stimuli CATI CAPI Landline Phone Mobile Phone Portable PC (Laptop / Netbook) Tablet Computer Interviewer guided control of order and pace Acoustic Presentation / higher cognitive burden / help from interviewer available etc. Mobile (Smart) Phone Desktop PC or portable PC Visual Presentation CAWI Tablet Computer Mobile (Smart) Phone Self administered control of order and pace PAPI Paper 4
5 «Views on the MR world» There is no «CAMI» (Computer Aided Mobile Interviewing). CATI Landline + CATI Mobile = Dual Frame CATI There is only one internet: «CAWI Desktop» + «CAWI Mobile» = (still) CAWI Mixed Device (in CAWI) is a must, not an option Resarch in Social Networks is not a new mode but another sample recruitment source 5
6 Traditional Single Mode (zero node) Contact Mode Zero node Answer Mode Start No switching node. One contact mode assigned to each answer mode Answer Mode End Telefone CATI CATI Face to face CAPI CAPI Internet CAWI CAWI Letter of Invitation PAPI PAPI 6
7 Single Node Mixed Mode Contact Mode Single node Answer Mode Start Mode switching at a single defined time in contactinterview flow Answer Mode End Telefone CATI CATI Face to face CAPI CAPI Internet CAWI CAWI Letter of Invitation PAPI PAPI Single node can be placed anywhere but it has a fixed position in interview. 7
8 Multi Node Mixed Mode Contact Mode Single node Answer Mode Start Multi node Answer Mode End Telefone CATI CATI Face to face CAPI CAPI Internet CAWI CAWI Letter of Invitation PAPI PAPI Mode switching at multiple times in interview flow 8
9 Classification of Research Methodes Mode Nodes Device Single Mode Zero Node Single Multiple Mixed Mode Single Node Single Multiple Multi Node Single Costs for survey preparation increase Participation rate increases Completion rate increases Multiple Enforced mode vs. free choice as an additional classification dimension 9
10 Is it (financially) worth mixing modes? Yes, when the extra costs for mixed mode can be compensated through mixing more expensive with cheaper interview modes If the number of interviews from break-even analysis is achievable, than mixed mode has a positive cost effect If the extra costs for mixed mode setup are 0 than mixed mode offerings will always be cheaper than doing the more expensive mode For consequent mixed mode offerings a software platform is needed that reduces extra costs. But, mixed mode offering is not about cost saving it is about decreasing the non-response error (at the cost of introducing mode effects). 10
11 Mixed mode break even calculation 2 estimates + 1 simple calculation How much higher are the (fixed) costs if doing mixed mode compared to single mode? What is the price difference (variable costs) per interview between the most expensive mode and the cheapest mode? How many cheap interviews do I need to compensate for additional fixed costs through mixed mode? Value 1: Additional (fixed) costs for mixed mode = $ Value 2: (variable) costs per interview expensive ($40) - (variable) costs per interview cheap ($10) = $30 Calculation: Value 1 $ / Value 2 $30 = # Interviews

15 Inbound CATI in mixed mode surveys Inbound CATI is a logical extension of the traditional CATI mode to decrease non-response leaving the free choice to call the institute at the best time. It requires: Invitation letter showing a (unique and toll-free) number Full daytime coverage in the call center Messaging and IVR routings Identification of caller in the questionnaire (e.g. printed ID on invitation letter) 15
16 SMS Invitation SMS invitation can be used to inform users of RDD mobile numbers about a study. Similar to an invitation letter sent to a landline phone related address. It requires: Short message text. (SMS costs are little but with high quantities they become expensive). Full multi-language text on a webpage. Response channels to opt out : , SMS, telephone We found no better response rates in a test on RDD interviews. 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% No connection No ability Not in target group No willingness No availability Appointment Success SMS send No SMS send 16
17 Conclusion Cost saving is not the primary argument to do mixed mode (if you want to save costs: do CAWI) Mixing mode design should be extended to the full mixed mode approach leaving the choice of the mode to the interviewee and allowing for multiple switching nodes Mixed devices is a Must more than an option due to the interviewee s usage of these devices CAPI and PAPI should not be (generally) excluded from mixed mode designs It is recommended to use multiple contact modes Contact modes can be extended by Inbound CATI. SMS invitation can be useful (but not proven yet) 17
