title Surveying Rare Populations Using a Probability-based Online Panel
contributor.author Wright, Graham
contributor.author Peugh, Jordon
description.abstract A key issue for surveys of rare populations is that baseline data about the size and characteristics of these populations often do not exist, making it difficult to assess the level of bias in any given sample and adjust for it with weighting. This paper illustrates this difficulty by comparing the results from a probability-based online panel to other national surveys of American Jews. In each case, methodological issues prevent a definitive assessment of bias.
