“…Regarding stage I non‐response bias, a greater proportion of pharmacies participating in the mail survey were involved in in‐house immunization services when compared to pharmacies participating in the follow‐up telephone survey 56 . This could be because in‐house service adopters realized the significance of the immunizations topic 57–61 and responded to the stage I mail survey more promptly.…”

Appropriate strategies, particularly promoting the benefit of in-house immunization services, should be implemented. The proposed model and findings may be applicable to other pharmacy-based innovative practices or other public health initiatives. We recommend that organizational leaders, researchers and practitioners consider the impact of perceived benefit and incorporate it when they design strategies to foster adoption of innovative practices. Doing this may increase the number of adopters and also increase diffusion rates for innovative services.

“…First, their early implementation can produce a completed interview with a respondent who might otherwise require substantial resources to complete the survey later (Singer and Ye 2013). Repeated contact attempts over the full course of fieldwork are an effective but potentially costly method to recruit hard-to-reach respondents and to diminish nonresponse bias in representative samples (Legleye et al 2013; Lynn and Clarke 2002; Westrick and Mount 2008). Strategies to achieve higher response rates with hard-to-reach respondents over a shorter active fieldwork period are therefore generally desirable (Brown and Calderwood 2014; McGonagle and Freedman In press) and are particularly valuable in studies with a hard end date where fieldwork extensions are unfeasible.…”

Effectiveness of a Time-limited Incentive on Participation by Hard-to-reach Respondents in a Panel Study

We describe an experiment to provide a time-limited incentive among a random sample of 594 hard-to-reach respondents, 200 of whom were offered the incentive to complete all survey components of a study during a three-week winter holiday period. Sample members were primary caregivers of children included in the 2014 Child Development Supplement to the U.S. Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The incentive provided $50 to caregivers who completed a 75-minute telephone interview and whose eligible children each completed a 30-minute interview. Results indicate that the incentive was an effective and cost-efficient strategy to increase short-term response rates with hard-to-reach respondents with no negative impact on final response rates.

“…To assess the potential for nonresponse bias, characteristics of hard-to-contact pharmacies (those requiring more than 9 calls) and easy-to-contact pharmacies (those requiring less than 2 calls) were compared. 18 Descriptive statistics, including general pharmacy characteristics and characteristics related to public health, were used to describe participating pharmacies. Bivariate analyses were conducted to assess relationships between pharmacy college/school affiliation and (1) pharmacy characteristics, (2) public health-related characteristics (characteristics specific to immunization delivery and emergency preparedness and response), and (3) pharmacy involvement in public health activities.…”

Objectives. To examine the relationship between pharmacy college/school affiliation and community pharmacies' involvement in immunization and emergency preparedness activities. Methods. Telephone interviews were completed with 1,704 community pharmacies randomly sampled from 17 states to determine the pharmacies' involvement in immunization promotion, vaccine distribution, in-house immunization delivery, and health emergency preparedness and response, affiliation with college/school of pharmacy, and selected pharmacy and public health-related characteristics. Results. Pharmacy college/school-affiliated community pharmacies were more likely than nonaffiliated pharmacies to participate in immunization and emergency preparedness when controlling for pharmacy characteristics. College/school affiliation generally became nonsignificant, however, when public health-related characteristics were included in the analysis. Conclusions. Affiliation with a college/school of pharmacy was related to community pharmacies' involvement in immunization and emergency preparedness.
