Abstract:
Understanding and improving data linkage consent in surveys
One of the most promising avenues for empirical social science research involves linking administrative or process generated data with survey data. However, very little is known on how to design consent requests in practical survey research to, on the one hand, increase consent rates, and, on the other hand, make sure respondents understand what they are consenting to. It is unclear how to phrase them, in which order to place them, and how much additional information to provide to ensure data security and alleviate privacy concerns. I will present on overview of results from the project “Understanding and improving data linkage consent in surveys”. It comprises a series of survey experiments that were conducted in the Populus Live Access Panel and the Innovation Panel 11 (Understanding Society). The main objective of the project was to gain a better understanding of how respondents process requests for data linkage, how differences between modes can be explained, and how informed consent can be increased.
The project is joint work with Annette Jäeckle (PI), Jonathan Burton, Thomas F. Crossley, and Mick P. Couper.
