Non-response on U.S. Navy Quick Polls

Abstract

In 2002, Navy researchers began conducting a series of Quick Polls to quickly, yet accurately measure U.S. Navy Sailors? opinions of key personnel-related issues. Similar to most large-scale surveys administered in the Navy, Quick Polls typically obtain a 30% response rate. Since these polls use an indirect notification method, the purpose of this study was to investigate the reasons for survey non-response on Quick Polls. This study also sought to determine whether the answers provided by respondents and non-respondents on Quick Polls were equivalent, and determine opinions about confidentiality on Internet versus the more traditional mail surveys.
