“…As an example, according to GSS data, 56% of individuals who are very satisfied with their jobs are very unlikely to try to leave the job, compared to 31% of the moderately satisfied and 20% of the dissatisfied. GSS data also indicate that 40% of individuals who are very or completely satisfied with family are 2.5 times as likely as individuals who are only fairly satisfied to feel very happy with life in general (Davern et al, 2024).…”

The pandemic response allowed many parents in the United States and globally to work remotely for the first time ever which, for many, continued into the recovery. It is unclear whether, after a period when a large segment of the United States labor force worked remotely, remote work is viewed favorably or unfavorably among employed parents. We present results from a survey experiment assessing whether employed parents in the United States perceive that remote work will impact a hypothetical employed parents’ job and family satisfaction and, critically, whether perceptions of work–family conflict and anticipated job rewards mediate this relationship. We find that respondents who are also employed parents perceive that hypothetical employed parents who access remote work will report lower job satisfaction and higher family satisfaction. Perceptions of work–family conflict do not mediate this association. Rather, we find that job rewards (e.g., pay, promotion, etc.) fully mediate the relationship between remote work and perceived job satisfaction. Ultimately, this indicates that employed parents perceive that remote work will bring workers like them less pay and thus lower job satisfaction but greater family satisfaction. This extends arguments about remote work in the light of the conceptualization of a flexibility stigma and a flexibility paradox. Implications for practice and theory are discussed.

“…Consideration has been given to the use of administrative records and other available sources of data to augment or replace field work in official statistics (e.g., Scheuren 1999;Morris et al 2016;Daas et al 2015;Brown et al 2018). However, such use of administrative data presents its own challenges including lack of public availability and data structures that are not intended for this particular application (Davern et al 2009;Molfino et al 2017;Groves and Schoeffel 2018). With field work currently the primary method of data collection, measuring and improving response rates continue to be of major interest to statistical agencies.…”

Statistical agencies depend on responses to inquiries made to the public, and occasionally conduct experiments to improve contact procedures. Agencies may wish to assess whether there is significant change in response rates due to an operational refinement. This work considers the assessment of response rates when up to L attempts are made to contact each subject, and subjects receive one of J possible variations of the operation under experimentation. In particular, the continuation-ratio logit (CRL) model facilitates inference on the probability of success at each step of the sequence, given that failures occurred at previous attempts. The CRL model is investigated as a basis for sample size determination– one of the major decisions faced by an experimenter–to attain a desired power under a Wald test of a general linear hypothesis. An experiment that was conducted for nonresponse followup in the United States 2020 decennial census provides a motivating illustration.

“…Understanding Patient Data is a prime example of an initiative to support public engagement in the reuse of health data for research [11], along with the Data Saves Lives campaign [12]. In 2014, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Office for National Statistics commissioned a report to explore public understanding and views of administrative data and data linkage [13]. During 7 workshops held with members of the public, it came to light that the public had only limited knowledge of data use in social research, despite acknowledging the importance of data in digital societies.…”

BACKGROUND Mobile phone call detail records (CDRs) are increasingly being used in health research. The location element in CDRs is used in various health geographic studies, for example, to track population movement and infectious disease transmission. Vast volumes of CDRs are held by multinational organizations, which may make them available for research under various data governance regimes. However, there is an identified lack of public engagement on using CDRs for health research to contribute to an ethically founded framework. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore public views on the use of call detail records in health research. METHODS Views on using CDRs in health research were gained via a series of three public workshops (N=61) informed by a pilot workshop of 25 people. The workshops included an initial questionnaire to gauge participants’ prior views, discussion on health research using CDRs, and a final questionnaire to record workshop outcome views. The resulting data were analyzed for frequencies and emerging themes. RESULTS At the outset, most participants (66%, 40/61) knew that location data were collected by operators, but only 3% (2/61) knew they were being used for health research. Initially, the majority of the participants (62%, 38/61) was content for their anonymous CDRs to be used, and this increased (80%, 49/61) after the discussion explained that safeguards were in place. Participants highlighted that terms and conditions should be clearer, as should information to phone users on data collection, privacy safeguards, sharing, and uses in research. CONCLUSIONS This is the first known study exploring public views of using mobile phone CDRs in health research. It revealed a lack of knowledge among the public on uses of CDRs and indicated that people are generally amenable to the use of anonymized data for research, but they want to be properly informed and safeguarded. We recommend that public views be incorporated into an ethically founded framework for the use of CDRs in health research to promote awareness and social acceptability in data use.
