 Studies of Welfare Populations: Designing Surveys Acknowledging Nonresponse
Furthermore, interviewers often are trained to emphasize the sponsor of their survey when the sponsor generally is seen as having legitimate authority to collect the information (e.g., government or educational institutions), but rarely to do so when that is less likely (e.g., certain commercial organizations).
Several studies (Purdon et al, 1999; Groves and Couper, 1998; Brehm, 1993) now demonstrate that the utterances of sample persons during their interactions with interviewers contain some information regarding motivations for their reaction to the survey request and the likelihood of eventual cooperation with the survey request.
Whenever possible use interviewers to collect information that can be used either to reduce nonresponse (e.g., utterances of the sample person suggesting reasons for nonresponse, useful later in tailoring refusal conversion protocol) or to adjust for nonresponse (e.g., observations about respondents and nonrespondents related to propensities to respond).

When extending the data collection period may not be feasible, as was the case during the baseline interviewing for the Seattle Study, other contingencies were adopted, such as keeping the travelers on site longer than anticipated originally.
