Study Design & Documentation

Introduction

Knowledge Networks conducted the National Survey of Jewish Respondents on behalf of the

Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University. Specifically, the study

examined respondent perspectives on various social and cultural issues. The survey was

conducted on KnowledgePanel®, and was fielded between February 15 and March 13, 2012, and

participants completed the survey in 14 minutes (median). Standard measures were taken to

enhance survey cooperation, including a standardized three-day reminder. A custom reminder

was also sent to encourage non-respondent participation.

Sample Definition

The target population consisted of non-institutionalized U.S. residents aged 18 and older who

had previously self-identified as Jewish by religion or background. To sample the population,

Knowledge Networks randomly sampled households from its KnowledgePanel®, a probability-

based web panel designed to be representative of the United States.

Survey Completion and Sample Sizes

The number of respondents sampled and participating in the survey and the survey completion

rate are presented in the table below.

Knowledge Networks Methodology

Introduction

Knowledge Networks, now part of the GfK Group, is passionate about research in marketing,

media, health and social policy – collaborating closely with client teams throughout the research

process, while applying rigor in everything we do. We specialize in innovative online research

that consistently gives leaders in business, government, and academia the confidence to make

important decisions. KN delivers affordable, statistically valid online research through

KnowledgePanel® and leverages a variety of other assets, such as world-class advanced

analytics, an industry-leading physician panel, an innovative platform for measuring online ad

effectiveness, and a research-ready behavioral database of frequent supermarket and drug store

shoppers.

Knowledge Networks (KN) has recruited the first online research panel that is representative of

the entire U.S. population. Panel members are randomly recruited through probability-based

sampling, and households are provided with access to the Internet and hardware if needed.

Knowledge Networks selects households by using address-based sampling methods; formerly,

KN relied on random-digit dialing (RDD) Once households are recruited for the panel, they are

contacted by e-mail for survey taking or panelists visit their online member page for survey

taking (instead of being contacted by phone or postal mail). This allows surveys to be fielded

very quickly and economically. In addition, this approach reduces the burden placed on

respondents, since e-mail notification is less intrusive than telephone calls, and most respondents

find answering Web questionnaires more interesting and engaging than being questioned by a

telephone interviewer. Furthermore, respondents have the freedom to choose what time of day to

participate in research.

IRB-bearing issues are available at the below online resources.

Panel Recruitment Methodology

When Knowledge Networks began recruiting in 1999, the company established the first online

research panel (now called KnowledgePanel®) based on probability sampling covering both the

online and offline populations in the U.S. Panel members are recruited through national random

samples, originally by telephone and now almost entirely by postal mail. Households are

provided with access to the Internet and hardware if needed. Unlike Internet convenience panels,

also known as ―opt-in‖ panels, that includes only individuals with Internet access who volunteer

themselves for research, KnowledgePanel recruitment uses dual sampling frames that includes

both listed and unlisted telephone numbers, telephone and non-telephone households, and cell-

phone-only households, as well as households with and without Internet access. Only persons

sampled through these probability-based techniques are eligible to participate on

KnowledgePanel. Unless invited to do so as part of these national samples, no one on their own

can volunteer to be on the panel.

RDD and ABS Sample Frames

KnowledgePanel members today could have been recruited by either the former random digit

dialing (RDD) sampling or the current address-based sampling (ABS) methodologies In this

section, we will describe the RDD-based methodology; the ABS methodology is described in a

separate section below. To offset attrition, multiple recruitment samples are fielded evenly

throughout the calendar year.

KnowledgePanel recruitment methodology has used the quality standards established by selected

RDD surveys conducted for the Federal government (such as the CDC-sponsored National

Immunization Survey).

KN employed list-assisted RDD sampling techniques based on a sample frame of the U.S.

residential landline telephone universe. For purposes of efficiency, KN excludes only those

banks of telephone numbers (a bank consists of 100 numbers) that had fewer than two directory

listings. Additionally, an oversampling was conducted within a stratum of telephone exchanges

that had high concentrations of African American and Hispanic households based on Census

data. Note that recruitment sampling is done without replacement, thus numbers already fielded

do not get fielded again.

A telephone number for which a valid postal address can be matched occurred in about 67-70%

of each sample. These address-matched cases were all mailed an advance letter informing them

that they had been selected to participate in KnowledgePanel. For purposes of efficiency, the

unmatched numbers were most recently under-sampled at a rate of 0.75 relative to the matched

numbers. Both the minority oversampling mentioned above and this under-sampling of non-

address households are adjusted appropriately in the panel’s weighting procedures.

http://www.gfk.com/

http://www.twitter.com/gfk_group

10

Following the mailings, telephone recruitment by trained interviewers/recruiters begins for all

sampled telephone numbers. Telephone numbers for cases sent to recruiters were dialed for up

to 90 days, with at least 14 dial attempts for cases in which no one answers the phone, and for

numbers known to be associated with households. Extensive refusal conversion was also

performed. The recruitment interview, about 10 minutes in length, begins with informing the

household member that the household had been selected to join KnowledgePanel. If the

household does not have a computer and access to the Internet, the household member is told

that in return for completing a short survey weekly, the household will be provided with free

monthly Internet access and a laptop computer (in the past, the household was provided with a

WebTV device). All members of the household are enumerated, and some initial demographic

and background information on prior computer and Internet use was collected.

Households that informed recruiters that they had a home computer and Internet access were

asked to take KN surveys using their own equipment and Internet connection. Incentive points

per survey, redeemable for cash, are given to these ―PC‖ (personal computer) respondents for

completing their surveys. Panel members provided with a laptop computer and free Internet

access do not participate in this per-survey points-incentive program. However, all panel

members do receive special incentive points for select surveys to improve response rates and/or

for all longer surveys as a modest compensation for the extra burden of their time and

participation.

For those panel members receiving a laptop computer, each unit is custom-configured prior to

shipment with individual email accounts so that it is ready for immediate use by the household.

Most households are able to install the hardware without additional assistance, although KN

maintains a toll-free telephone line for technical support. The KN Call Center contacts household

members who do not respond to e-mail and attempts to restore both contact and participation.

PC panel members provide their own e-mail addresses, and we send their weekly survey

invitations to that e-mail account.

All new panel members receive an initial survey for the dual purpose of welcoming them as new

panel members and introducing them to how online survey questionnaires work. New panel

members also complete a separate profile survey that collects essential demographic information

such as gender, age, race, income, and education to create a personal member profile. This

information can be used to determine eligibility for specific studies and is factored in for

weighting purposes. Operationally, once the profile information is stored, it does not need to be

re-collected as a part of each and every survey. This information is also updated annually for all

panel members. Once new members have completed their profile surveys, they are designated as

―active,‖ and considered ready to be sampled for client studies. [Note: Parental or legal guardian

consent is also collected for the purpose of conducting surveys with teenage panel members,

aged 13 to17.]

Once a household is recruited and each household member’s e-mail address is either obtained or

provided, panel members are sent survey invitations linked through a personalized e-mail

message (instead of by phone or postal mail). This contact method permits surveys to be fielded

quickly and economically, and also facilitates longitudinal research. In addition, this approach

reduces the burden placed on respondents, since e-mail notification is less intrusive than

11

telephone calls and allows research subjects to participate in research when it is convenient for

them.

Address-Based Sampling (ABS) Methodology

When KN first started panel recruitment in 1999, the conventional opinion among survey experts

was that probability-based sampling could be carried out cost effectively through the use of a

national RDD samples. The RDD landline frame at the time allowed access to 96% of U.S.

households. This is no longer the case. In 2009, Knowledge Networks introduced use of the

ABS sample frame to panel recruitment to reflect the real changes in society and telephony over

recent years. Those changes that have reduced the long-term scientific viability of landline RDD

sampling methodology are as follows: declining respondent cooperation in telephone surveys as

reflected in ―do not call‖ lists, call screening, caller-ID devices, and answering machines;

dilution of the RDD sample frame as measured by the working telephone number rate; and

finally, the emergence of cell phone-only households (CPOHH) because such households are

excluded from the RDD frame because they have no landline telephone.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (January-June 2010),

approximately 28.6% of all U.S. households cannot be contacted through RDD sampling—

26.6% as a result of CPOHH status and 2% because they have no telephone service whatsoever.

Among some age segments, the RDD non-coverage would be substantial: 40% of young adults,

ages 18–24, reside in CPOHHs, 51% of those ages 25–29, and 40% of those ages 30–34.1

After conducting an extensive pilot project in 2008, KN made the decision to move toward

address-based sample (ABS) frame in response to the growing number of cell-phone- only

households that are outside the RDD frame. Before conducting the ABS pilot, we also

experimented with supplementing its RDD samples with cell-phone samples. However, this

approach would was not cost effective—and raised a number of other operational, data quality,

and liability issues (for example, calling cell phones while respondents were driving).

The key advantage of the ABS sample frame is that it allows sampling of almost all U.S.

households. An estimated 97% of households is ―covered‖ in sampling nomenclature.

Regardless of household telephone status, those households can be reached and contacted

through postal mail. Second, the KNABS pilot project revealed several additional advantages

beyond expected improvement in recruiting adults from CPOHHs:

Improved sample representativeness for minority racial and ethnic groups

Improved inclusion of lower educated and low income households

Exclusive inclusion of the fraction of CPOHHs that have neither a landline

telephone nor Internet access (approximately four to six percent of US

households).

ABS involves probability-based sampling of addresses from the U.S. Postal Service’s Delivery

Sequence File. Randomly sampled addresses are invited to join KnowledgePanel through a

series of mailings and, in some cases, telephone follow-up calls to non-responders when a

telephone number can be matched to the sampled address. Operationally, invited households

have the option to join the panel by one of several ways:

Completing and returning a paper form in a postage-paid envelope,

Calling a toll-free hotline maintained by Knowledge Networks, or

Going to a dedicated KN web site and completing an online recruitment form.

After initially accepting the invitation to join the panel, respondents are then ―profiled‖ online

by answering key demographic questions about themselves. This profile is maintained through

the same procedures that were previously established for RDD-recruited panel members.

Respondents not having an Internet connection are provided a laptop computer and free Internet

service. Respondents sampled from the ABS frame, like those sampled from the RDD frame, are

offered the same privacy terms and confidentiality protections that we have developed over the

years and that have been reviewed by dozens of Institutional Review Boards.

Large-scale ABS sampling for KnowledgePanel recruitment began in April 2009. As a result,

sample coverage on KnowledgePanel of CPOHHs, young adults, and non-whites has been

increasing steadily since that time.

Because KnowledgePanel members have been recruited from two different sample frames, RDD

and ABS, KN implemented several technical processes to merge samples sourced from these

frames. KN’s approach preserves the representative structure of the overall panel for the

selection of individual client study samples. An advantage of mixing ABS frame panel members

in any KnowledgePanel sample is a reduction in the variance of the weights. ABS-sourced

samples tend to align more closely to the overall demographic distributions in the population,

and thus the associated adjustment weights are somewhat more uniform and less varied. This

variance reduction efficaciously attenuates the sample’s design effect and confirms a real

advantage for study samples drawn from KnowledgePanel with its dual frame construction.

Survey Administration

For client surveys, samples are drawn at random from among active panel members. Depending

on the study, eligibility criteria will be applied or in-field screening of the sample will be carried

out. Sample sizes can range widely depending on the objectives and design of the study.

13

Once assigned to a survey, members receive a notification e-mail letting them know there is a

new survey available for them to take. This email notification contains a link that sends them to

the survey questionnaire. No login name or password is required. The field period depends on

the client’s needs and can range anywhere from a few hours to several weeks.

After three days, automatic email reminders are sent to all non-responding panel members in the

sample. If email reminders do not generate a sufficient response, an automated telephone

reminder call can be initiated. The usual protocol is to wait at least three to four days after the e-

mail reminder before calling. To assist panel members with their survey taking, each individual

has a personalized ―home page‖ that lists all the surveys that were assigned to that member and

have yet to be completed.

Knowledge Networks also operates an ongoing modest incentive program to encourage

participation and create member loyalty. Members can enter special raffles or can be entered into

special sweepstakes with both cash rewards and other prizes to be won.

The typical survey commitment for panel members is one survey per week or four per month

with duration of 10 to 15 minutes per survey. Some client surveys exceed this time, and in the

case of longer surveys, an additional incentive can be provided.

Survey Sampling from KnowledgePanel

Once Panel Members are recruited and profiled, they become eligible for selection for specific

client surveys. In most cases, the specific survey sample represents a simple random sample from

the panel, for example, a general population survey. Customized stratified random sampling

based on profile data can also be conducted as required by the study design.

The general sampling rule is to assign no more than one survey per week to members. Allowing

for rare exceptions during some weeks, this limits a member’s total assignments per month to

four or six surveys. In certain cases, a survey sample calls for pre-screening, that is, members are

drawn from a subsample of the panel (such as females, Republicans, grocery shoppers, etc.). In

such cases, care is taken to ensure that all subsequent survey samples drawn that week are

selected in such a way as to result in a sample that remains representative of the panel

distributions.

Sample Weighting

The design for KnowledgePanel

® recruitment begins as an equal probability sample with several

enhancements incorporated to improve efficiency. Since any alteration in the selection process is

a deviation from a pure equal probability sample design, statistical weighting adjustments are

made to the data to offset known selection deviations. These adjustments are incorporated in the

sample’s base weight.

The Base Weight

14

In a KnowledgePanel sample there are seven known sources of deviation from an equal

probability of selection design. These are corrected in the Base Weight and are described below.

1. Under-sampling of telephone numbers unmatched to a valid mailing address

An address match is attempted on all the Random Digit Dial (RDD)-generated telephone

numbers in the sample after the sample has been purged of business and institutional

numbers and screened for non-working numbers. The success rate for address matching

is in the 60 to 70% range. Households having telephone numbers with valid addresses are

sent an advance letter, notifying them that they will be contacted by phone to join

KnowledgePanel. The remaining, unmatched numbers are under-sampled as a

recruitment efficiency strategy. Advance letters improve recruitment success rates.

Under-sampling was suspended between July 2005 and April 2007. It was resumed in

May 2007, using a sampling rate of 0.75. RDD recruitment ended in July 2009.

2. RDD selection proportional to the number of telephone landlines reaching the

household

As part of the field data collection operation, information is collected on the number of

separate telephone landlines in each selected household. The probability of selecting a

multiple-line household is down-weighted by the inverse of the number of landlines.

RDD recruitment ended in July 2009.

3. Some minor oversampling of Chicago and Los Angeles in early pilot surveys

Two pilot surveys carried out in Chicago and Los Angeles when the panel was initially

being built increased the relative size of the sample from these two cities. With natural

attrition and growth in size, that impact is disappearing over time. It remains part of our

base adjustment weighting because of a small number of extant panel members from that

initial panel cohort.

4. Early oversampling the four largest states and central region states

At the time when the panel was first being built, survey demand in the four largest states

(California, New York, Florida, and Texas) necessitated oversampling during January–

October 2000. Similarly, the central region states were oversampled for a brief period of

time. These now diminishing effects still remain in the panel membership and thus

weighting adjustments are required for these geographic areas.

5. Under-sampling of households not covered by the MSN®

TV service network

Certain small areas of the U.S. are not serviced by MSN®, thus the MSN

®TV units

distributed to non-Internet households prior to January 2009 could not be used for those

recruited non-Internet households. Overall, the result is a small residual under-sample in

those geographic areas which requires a minor weighting adjustment for those locations.

15

Since January 2010, laptop computers with dial-up access are being distributed to non-

Internet households thus eliminating this under-coverage component.

6. RDD oversampling of African American and Hispanic telephone exchanges

As of October 2001, oversampling of telephone exchanges with a higher density of

minority households (specifically, African American and Hispanic) was implemented to

increase panel membership for those groups. These exchanges were oversampled at

approximately twice the rate of other exchanges. This oversampling is corrected in the

base weight. RDD recruitment ended in July 2009.

7. Address-based sample phone match adjustment

Toward the end of 2008, Knowledge Networks began recruiting panel members by using

an address-based sample (ABS) frame in addition to RDD recruitment. Once recruitment

through the mail, including follow-up mailings to ABS non-respondents was completed,

telephone recruitment was added. Non-responding ABS households where a landline

telephone number could be matched to an address were subsequently called and

telephone recruitment was initiated. This effort resulted in a slight overall

disproportionate number of landline households being recruited in a given ABS sample.

A base weight adjustment is applied to return the ABS recruitment panel members to the

sample’s correct national proportion of phone-match and no phone-match households.

8. ABS oversample stratification adjustment

In late 2009 the ABS sample began incorporating a geographic stratification design.

Census blocks with high density minority communities were oversampled (Stratum 1)

and the balance of the census blocks (Stratum 2) were relatively under-sampled. The

definition of high density and minority community and the relative proportion between

strata differed among specific ABS samples. In 2010, the two strata were redefined to

target high density Hispanic areas in Stratum 1 and all else in Stratum 2. In 2011, pre-

identified ancillary information and not census block data were used to construct and

target four strata as follows: Hispanic ages 18-24, Non-Hispanic ages 18-24, Hispanic

ages 25+ and Non-Hispanic ages 25+. An appropriate base weight adjustment is applied

to each relevant sample to correct for these stratified designs. Also in 2011, a separate

sample targeting only persons ages 18-24 was fielded across the year also using

predictive ancillary information. Combined with the four-stratum sample, the base

weight adjustment compensates for cases from this unique young adult over-sample.
