Description
Summary:The aim of this work is to analyze the response rates of a multi modality survey on sports behaviour and habits in a borough of Madrid. The development of response rates in both face-to-face and telephone surveys is shown, considering some of the main factors which can have an infl uence on the differences found. The results indicate that observed variations in nonresponse rates depend on the survey mode employed and also show that the telephone survey works better compared to the face-to-face survey.
