The U.S. Census Bureau requested the Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) convene a workshop to discuss recent methodological research conducted by the Census Bureau to improve the ACS.
The workshop will address evaluating administrative data as a replacement for survey questions, which may also improve accuracy and/or reduce costs. It will also examine efforts to improve communication materials provided to respondents to encourage response as well as the follow-up procedures with respondents.
The workshop will be held September 26-27, 2018 at The Keck Center of the National Academies in Washington, DC. and will also be available via the web.
