Users Guide to the Data Set

Overview of the Data Set

The mail survey data matched with license Information provided by ChemRisk is found in an

archived file called CHEMARC on the first diskette After the file Is unarchived the data set can be

found in CHEMDAT The data set is in fixed field ASCII format There are 1612 cases respondents In

this data set and the data for each case covers four rows A complete description of each variable and

its codes are included in the codebook The column locations are included In Appendix A All variables

are numeric unless noted as a text variable in Appendix A Type Line 4 columns 226 229 Address

Line 5 columns 1 34 City Line 5 columns 36 52 State Line 5 columns 53 54 Sex Line 5 column

60 and Legalres Line 5 columns 61 78 Identification numbers 9997 9998 and 9999 do not have any

of the original ChemRisk information The respondent deleted the ID number from the survey so It was

assigned a number outside the survey Identification range All numeric variables are right justified within

the field and all text variables are left justified within the field If a question was not applicable the field

contains a For questions that were supposed to be answered but have a missing response the field

is filled with 9s These missing values and not applicable values are listed by each variable in the

codebook Appendix B contains the comments by respondents about the survey and study

The second diskette is contains frequency distribution of the survey responses This file is called

CHEMFRO CHEMTMP is the ASCII data template used to read the file CHEMDAT

The third diskette contains a file called CHEMUSER033 This is the WordPerfect 51 copy of the

Users Guide to the data set The diskette also contains CHEMTEXT033 This file contains the

WordPerfect 51 text for possible inclusion in the report This diskette also contains a file called

Sample Design

Based on discussions with Dr Boyle and Dr Relling of the University of Maine personnel from

ChemRisk decided to design a sample that would ensure completed surveys from a minimum of 100

anglers having the least likely set of characteristics in which ChemRisk was interested This group of

anglers was identified as those anglers who had fished for caught and eaten warm water species from

flowing waters in the state of Maine during the previous fishing year Based on the estimates of various

EPA003782
types of anglers in the state of Maine provided by Dr Boyle and Dr Reiling it was determined that

obtaining the required number of completed surveys from this population would require approximately

1363 completed surveys from a random sample of freshwater anglers in Maine

To determine the sample size required to obtain these 1363 completed surveys two

assumptions were made about the proportion of undeliverable surveys that might be expected and the

response rate to deliverable surveys

The sampling frame used for this study was the population of indWiduals holding a valid Maine

residential fishing license in 1989 Based on the experience of Drs Boyle and Selling it was felt that

even if the sampling frame was the population of individuals holding a valid 1990 license only 90 percent

of surveys would be deliverable Since the sampling frame used in this study was 1989 rather than

1990 an additional allowance for undeliverable surveys was made For the purposes of calculating the

required initial sample it was assumed that 81 percent 90 percent 90 percent of surveys would be

deliverable In addition a response rate of 75 percent to the deliverable surveys was assumed Using

these assumptions a required sample size of approximately 2244 was calculated Because of

uncertainties about the response rate and the proportion of undeliverable surveys a slightly larger

sample size of 2500 was selected

Survey Implementation

Two thousand five hundred residences were sent an advance letter on October 9 1990 to inform

them of the survey and explain the reasons the study was being conducted The survey instrument was

mailed on October 16 1990 The survey packet contained a letter explaining the study a question and

answer sheet to explain basic questions people might have a survey and a stamped return envelope If

a survey packet came back as undeliverable another packet was sent to the new address when

applicable On October 23 1990 a thank youreminder postcard was sent to everyone The postcard

thanked people who had already completed and returned the survey and reminded those who had not

returned the survey to do so soon On November 7 1990 a first followup survey packet was mailed to

1111 nonrespondents The packet was identical to the initial packet but the accompanying letter asked

to have the survey returned by December 3 1990 so analysis would be able to begin

The following table presents the response summary for this study 1612 completed surveys

were returned for a response rate of 64 percent These 1612 completed surveys represent 69 percent

of the surveys that were actually deliverable We feel there are two reasons that the response rate fell

below the 75 percent of deliverable surveys that was expected The first factor was that we had hoped

EPA003783
to gain some sponsorship of the survey from some organization in Maine This turned out to be

impossible and the survey was sent out under HBRS sponsorship Surveys under the sponsorship of a

market research firm such as HBRS typically have lower response rates all else equal than surveys

Identified as being sponsored by a university or state agency in addition after the survey process was

Initiated it became apparent that the client required data earlier than was originally anticipated This

change in time frame precluded any attempt to increase the response rate to 75 percent by using an

additional contact However even at the slightly lower response rate the objective of obtaining at least

1360 completed surveys was still achieved
