Survey Method Survey Overview Random Sampling was adopted for Telephone Interviews conducted by interviewers using CATI (Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview) system Data Collection Period 8 10 13-15 October (Total 6 days) Target Respondents Sampling Method Procedures for handling phone numbers Sample Size Sampling Error Response Rate 37% Hong Kong Citizens aged 15 or above speaking Cantonese All the phone numbers in the latest residential telephone directories were firstly transformed to 6-digit numbers by erasing the last 2 digits. After deleting repeated numbers, a hundred of 2-digit numbers from 00 to 99 were then appended to each number. A database of telephone numbers was finally created and telephone numbers were randomly selected from this database. This method could make the numbers unlisted on the directories may also have chance to be chosen. After successful contact with the household, if there were more than one member at home eligible for an interview, we would employ the Next Birthday Rule method to select the eligible member whose birthday comes soonest. After each dialing, if it was no answer, busy or eligible unavailable etc., computer system would arrange interviewer to try the number again at another day or time. The computer would stop trying that number if there was still no success after 4 attempts. However, if receiving two refusals, attempt will immediately be terminated. 802 Completed Cases Within ±3.5% (at 95% confidence level, which means we have 95% confidence that the sampling error will fall within this range.) The following shows the status of all numbers attempted and the calculation of response rate: Total Numbers Attempted 16043 A. Total numbers with Confirmed Ineligibility for Interview (Ineligibles) 8614 A1. Non-working number 7019 A2. Non-residence 578 A3. Fax / Modem / Pager 866 A4. No eligible Living in 151 B. Total numbers with Unconfirmed Eligibility for Interview (Unknown) 6076 B1. No answer (including answering machine) 2780 B2. Busy 571 B3. Password needed 17 B4. Language Problem 48 B5. Without confirming as a household before hanging up 2660 C. Total numbers with Confirmed Eligibility for Interview (Eligibles) 1353 C1. Refusal (including refusal in the middle of interview) 446 C2. Eligible unavailable in survey period 105 C3. Completed 802 Calculation of response rate: Completed / [Eligibles + Unknown x Eligibles / (Eligibles + Ineligibles)] = 802 / [1353 + 6076 x 1353 / (1353 + 8614)] = 0.3683 (37%) Hong Kong Public Opinion & Political Development Opinion Survey (Second Round)(8-15.10.2014) 2
