SCSU Survey Lab
• The SCSU Survey operates a Computer
Assisted Telephone Interviewing
(CATI) Lab on the St. Cloud State
University campus. The CATI Lab is
equipped with 19 interviewer stations.
• The SCSU Survey is licensed to use
Sawtooth Software’s Ci3 Questionnaire
Authoring Version 5.0, a state-of-theart windows-based computer-assisted
interviewing package.

The Calling
• The sample was obtained from David Kosel, Center
for Information Systems
• Findings are based on telephone interviews with a
representative sample of currently enrolled SCSU
students.
• Before calling began, the original sample was
comprised of 2000 students, including 500 dorm
residents and 1,500 off-campus residents.
• The sample included both landline phones and cell
phones.
• Interviews were conducted from March 25th to April
2nd, 2014.
• Calls were made at various times during the week
(Sunday through Thursday, 4:30 to 9:30) to maximize
contacts and ensure equal opportunities to respond.
Sample Error
• 502 respondents completed the
survey.
• The margin of sampling error for the
complete set of weighted data is ±4
percent at the 95 percent confidence
level.
• Then analysis is made of subsamples such as respondent gender,
dorm residence, etc., the sample
error may be larger.
Cooperation and Response Rate
• The cooperation rate for the survey was 76%.
• The cooperation rate is determined by dividing the number
of completed interviews (502), by the total of completed
interviews, partial interviews, and refusals (total = 663).
• The overall response rate for the survey was 30%.
• The response rate is determined by dividing the number of
completed interviews (502), by the total of completed
interviews, partial interviews, refusals, non-contacts, plus
90% of the cases with unknown eligibility (total = 1654).
