TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Intimate partner violence prevalence estimation using telephone surveys: understanding the effect of nonresponse bias JO - American journal of epidemiology A1 - McNutt, L. A. A1 - Lee, R. SP - 438 EP - 441 VL - 152 IS - 5 N2 - To assess the effect of nonresponse bias in telephone prevalence studies of intimate partner violence, the authors asked women visiting a health center in Albany, New York, during 1998 about their willingness to participate in telephone surveys. Women physically victimized by a male partner were more likely than other women to say they would participate in telephone surveys (66.7% vs. 44.4%, p = 0.03). Among women severely victimized, those living with their partner were less willing to participate than those not cohabiting (45.5% vs. 91.7%, p = 0.03). Including questions about willingness to participate in telephone surveys in studies of other kinds may be a useful method of identifying nonresponse bias.
