Coverage in Household Surveys

Undercoverage ocurs when some households or persons have no changce of selection. For example, people who do not have a phone have no chance to be selected for a phone survey.

Undercoverage can lead to bias in survey data.

My dissertation explored undercoverage in face-to-face household surveys in the US.
