• Abstract:
  In 2006, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published Standards and Guidelines for Statistical Surveys mandating that all federal surveys with a unit response rate of less than 80% conduct an analysis of nonresponse bias (NRB). Since 2006, federal surveys have increased activities involving NRB analyses; however, it is unclear what methods have been used to assess NRB or whether mitigating strategies reduced bias. This paper provides the first systematic review of NRB studies involving federal surveys since the release of the 2006 OMB Standards and Guidelines for Statistical Surveys. The objective of this systematic review was to collect NRB studies involving federal surveys and summarize the characteristics of the surveys examined, the NRB analysis methods used, and the assessment of NRB for each.
