Design Issues in Longitudinal and Repeated Cross-Sectional Surveys: Balancing
Continuity and Innovation,? is Monday, January 31 at midnight. The conference

information about the agenda, speakers, and accommodations is on our conference
website: http://dism.ssri.duke.edu/conferences.php. There is no registration

sufficient conference space is available. Register online at:

This conference deals with several key questions, including: When should survey
investigators consider making changes to a longitudinal or repeated
cross-sectional survey? How should potential changes be pretested and
evaluated? How should survey user communities be integrated into the process of
soliciting and evaluating survey changes? These are important questions for
large scale academic, government, and commercial surveys, and this conference
aims to start a serious conversation on these issues that will guide
investigators in future iterations of their surveys. Presenters will include
noted scholars in survey methodology research, several lead investigators on
academic surveys such as the American National Election Study and the General
Social Survey, and representatives from US government agencies.
DISM was founded in July 2010 by Dr. D. Sunshine Hillygus of the Duke University
Political Science Department. Part of its mission is to facilitate dialogue such
as this conference between the academic, government, and commercial survey
research communities. For more information about DISM, please visit our
