[R-sig-Geo] Overcoming Regional Survey Nonresponse - Free Seminar

[mzyphur m@iii@g oii i@st@ts@org]

Hi everyone

In partnership with the Statistical Society of Canada, Instats is pleased to present a free seminar Overcoming Regional Survey Nonresponse <https://instats.org/seminar/addressing-regional-survey-nonresponse-f>, running May 14th by Dr François Marshall from Statistics Canada and professor Sévérien Nkurunziza from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Windsor. Uneven regional response rates can introduce significant bias in geographically stratified surveys, affecting the accuracy of population representation. This seminar addresses how participation often clusters in urban areas, leading to under-representation of remote jurisdictions—a critical issue whether conducting polls, market research, public-health surveillance, or national censuses. Learn from real-world case studies and response-rate analytics from Canadian surveys, and explore strategies to combat these challenges. You'll discover how to frame respondent benefits, activate regional partners for outreach, and leverage administrative data for refined sampling and effective follow-ups. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a practical toolkit for designing inclusive and representative surveys.

Sign up today <https://instats.org/seminar/addressing-regional-survey-nonresponse-f> to secure your spot, and feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit!


Best wishes
