Dear Colleagues,

The 2018 International Total Survey Error Workshop (ITSEW) will be held June
4-6 in Durham, North Carolina, hosted by the Duke Initiative on Survey
Methodology and the Odum Institute for Research in Social Science at the
University of North Carolina. The workshop will feature a keynote address
by Dr. Roger Tourangeau, Vice President at Westat and past president of the
American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR).

ITSEW is aimed at statisticians, survey managers and methodologists, pollsters,
public opinion researchers, and marketing research professionals focused on
survey quality and the challenges of combined data products. Through
presentations and exchange of information the workshop aims to
support a better understanding of total survey error.

The theme of the 2018 workshop is “Approaches for Mitigating Total Survey Error
(TSE) and Its Effects.”

We welcome submission on any topic related to total survey error, but
especially
encourage contributions such as:

> Methods for combining and analyzing data from multiple sources;
> Adaptive design and data collection strategies;
> Approaches for minimizing TSE when using non-probability samples;
> Uses of administrative data to reduce TSE.

However, any and all topics related to TSE are welcome. If you would like to
present research at the workshop, please submit an abstract
<https://duke.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_417Y0uv3WVZNnBr> by March 1, 2018
(max. 400 words).

Presentations on research still in progress are highly encouraged. Be prepared
to share a (preliminary) paper prior to the workshop so that attendees can
prepare for discussion. Applicants will be notified of the acceptance of
their abstracts by mid-March.

Any questions can be sent tol [log in to unmask]
