## Part B - Survey Evaluation:

Identify and describe survey features:

```
write your answer here
1. Sample type
stratified random sampling method
2. Sample size
not sure.. I coudln't find the number
3. Target population
persons aged 15 years and over living in private households in Canada, excluding residents of the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut and full time residents of institutions
4. Sampling frame
"This survey uses a frame that combines landline and cellular telephone numbers from the Census and various administrative sources with Statistics Canada's dwelling frame. "
5. Survey mode(s)
Data collection was conducted through computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) and, for the first time in this cycle, an electronic questionnaire (EQ) completed online by respondents
6. Timeline
every 5 years?
7. Response rate
The overall response rate is 41.9%
8. Weights
didn't really specify ... "Survey estimates were adjusted (weighted) to represent all persons in the target population, including those not covered by the survey frame"
9. Data processing
"Processing used the SSPE set of generalized processing steps and utilities to allow subject matter and survey support staff to specify and run the processing of the survey in a timely fashion with high quality outputs.It used a structured environment to monitor the processing of data ensuring best practices and harmonized business processes were followed"
10. Cleaning, imputation, etc
Missing or inconsistent responses were addressed through imputation methods, such as donor imputation
11. Sources of error
"Edits were performed automatically and manually at various stages of processing at macro and micro levels. They included family, consistency and flow edits. Family relationships were checked to ensure the integrity of matrix data. A series of checks were done to ensure the consistency of survey data. An example was to check the respondent age against the respondent birth date. Flow edits were used to ensure respondents followed the correct path and fix off-path situations. Error detection was done through edits programmed into the CATI system"
12. Limitations, known biases, etc
exclusion of residents from the territories and full-time residents of institutions. Also, the introduction of the electronic questionnaire could introduce mode effects, potentially affecting how respondents interpret and answer questions.
13. Link to documentation and any additional sources used
