As part of the U.S. Census Bureau's continual efforts to improve the Survey, this workshop was called to investigate response burden, focusing on four main topics: matrix sampling to reduce the number of individuals that various questions are posed to; direct substitution of information from administrative records, eliminating some questions; having a separate, reduced-size questionnaire that eliminates unreasonable questions for respondents living in group quarters; and a communication and education strategy to increase cooperation with the request to participate. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 95-97) 505 0 $a Introduction: Understanding Response Burden -- Approaches to Reducing Response Burden -- Improving Response by Building Respondent Support -- Using Administrative Records to Reduce Response Burden -- Using Improved Sampling and Other Methods to Reduce Response Burden -- Tailoring Collection of Information from Group Quarters -- Future Directions -- Appendix A.
