9. Mixed mode Its a strategy Mixed-mode in data collection try to combine the best of all possible worlds by exploiting the advantages of different modes and compensate for their weaknesses at an affordable cost(De Leeuw 2005). Advantages Improve response rate, overall coverage, data quality Reduce cost, time Limitations Mode effect? (different way respondents may answer same question across mode) Need to test data integration from multiple modes 9 Innovative and Effective ways to collect TUS New York, USA, September 2018
