Students Section A - Part III: Dispositions & Response Rates
Disposition codes, response rates, and completion rates presented in this report are based on Standard Definitions as described by The American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) in their 2011 publication: Standard Definitions: Final Dispositions of Case Codes and Outcome Rates for Surveys, 7th edition.
Final Study Dispositions
Survey dispositions were defined as follows: Login : An individual who clicked to open the survey but did not consent to participate; these cases were treated as equal to any other nonresponse. Partial : An individual who consented and responded to questions but quit the survey before reaching the physical safety question. Complete : An individual who consented to participate and who clicked through the entire survey (answering all or some questions), completed the incentive questions and clicked “Submit.” Ineligiable : A case initially thought eligible to participate, but determined to not be eligible (e.g., due to not being employed on the eligibility date); ineligible cases were removed from the denominator of all response rate calculations.
Response Rates
Response rates for the survey were calculated as follows: Response Rate : Number of completes (c) plus the number of partials (p) divided by the eligible (e) sample size. This calculation follows AAPOR response rate calculation #2: ((c+p)/e). Completion Rate : Number of completes (c) divided by the sum of completes (c) plus partials (p): (c/(c+p)). An individual is considered to have responded to the survey if their submission met the stated criteria to be considered a complete or a partial. Data from all such cases is included in this report. Response and completion rates are shown for the total number of individuals at The Broad College at MSU who responded to the survey.
