RESPONSE RATE

Specialty Definition: RESPONSE RATE

DomainDefinition

Census

The percentage of housing units for which the Census Bureau received completed questionnaires for an area. The numerator includes responses from the following sources: mailed-in questionnaires (including responses from mailout/mailback, update/leave, and urban update/leave areas, and the Be Counted Program), responses collected from Telephone Questionnaire Assistance, and Internet responses. To avoid double-counting, the Census Bureau tallies only one response (the first valid response received) for each census identification number. The denominator represents the total number of housing unit identification numbers (a code assigned to each unique address) from the mailout/mailback, update/leave, and urban update/leave universes.

Health

The percentage of patients whose cancer shrinks or disappears after treatment. (references)

Statistics

Defined and computed as the ratio of the number of sampling units completing participation in the survey to the number of sampling units selected for the survey. However, the computation of response rates is complicated by difficulties in determining the precise number of sampling units "selected" into the sample. Source: European Union. (references)
