Executive Summary 

Introduction 

The 1993/03 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03), sponsored by 

the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), U.S. Department of Education, followed a 

cohort of students who earned bachelor’s degrees during the 1992–93 academic year. These 

students were first interviewed in 1993, as part of the 1993 National Postsecondary Student Aid 

Study (NPSAS:93). A year later, a follow-up interview was conducted (B&B:93/94) and 

transcripts were collected from students’ undergraduate institutions and coded, and in 1997, a 

second follow-up interview was conducted (B&B:93/97). B&B:93/03 is the third and final 

follow-up interview with the class of 1993. This interview, which took place in 2003, focused 

on postbaccalaureate education, employment and career development, family formation, and 

finances. The B&B:93 series of interviews has also included specific sections focused on those 

bachelor’s degree recipients who trained to be elementary/secondary teachers (kindergarten 

through grade 12), and those who have entered or plan to enter teaching, in the first 10 years 

following bachelor’s degree award. This report describes the procedures and results of the fullscale implementation of the 1993/03 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study 

(B&B:93/03). 

Sampling Design 

The target population for the B&B:93 study consisted of those individuals who were 

eligible to participate in NPSAS:93 and were awarded the bachelor’s degree by a postsecondary 

institution in the United States, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico. The B&B:93 cohort 

consisted of both students who completed the NPSAS:93 interview and were identified to be 

baccalaureate recipients and those NPSAS:93 nonrespondents who were potentially eligible for 

B&B who had at least some data (from either the institutional records or interviewing). 

Following NPSAS:93, 16,320** baccalaureate degree recipients were identified for participation 

in the first follow-up interview. By the second follow-up interview, B&B:93/97, 11,190 cases 

were retained for participation: 10,080 computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI)-eligible 

cases, 1,090 transcript-eligible cases, and 20 cases for which eligibility was unknown for both 

components. All 10,090 B&B:93/97 respondents were included for participation in B&B:93/03. 

In addition, a subsample of 360 B&B:93/97 nonrespondents was also included. After removing 

cases identified as deceased, the starting sample for B&B:93/03 was 10,440. 

Instrumentation 

For the first time, students were offered the opportunity to conduct their own B&B 

interview via the Internet. A single, web-based interview was designed and programmed for use 

as a self-administered interview, a telephone interview, and an in-person interview. In addition,

Executive Summary

a website was developed to launch the self-administered interview, to provide additional study 

information, and to collect updated student locating information. 

The interview focused on students’ activities in the 6 years since the last follow-up 

interview, B&B:93/97. The first section collected information on additional education pursued 

since 1997 whether through a formal graduate or undergraduate program, as part of occupational 

certification/licensure or employment training, or for personal enrichment. The next section 

focused on current employment, employment patterns, and career development. A separate 

section addressed employment patterns and job satisfaction for new teachers and those who have 

been a part of the teacher pipeline throughout the 10 years since degree award. The next section 

collected information on students’ marital status, family, civic involvement, and disability status. 

The final section addressed finances, including education loan debt, assets, and income. 

Data Collection Design and Outcomes 

Training 

Separate training programs were developed for those staff monitoring the Help Desk, 

made available to sample members completing the self-administered interview and to those 

interviewers conducting telephone and in-person interviews. Training topics included an 

overview of B&B:93/03, case management, quality control, solutions to common problems 

encountered using the self-administered interview, ways to establish effective relationships with 

sample members and other contacts, the nature of the data to be collected, and the organization 

and operation of the web-based interview. Tracing specialists received an abbreviated training 

specific to the needs of locating B&B:93/03 sample members. 

Interviewing 

The self-administered interview was made available to sample members beginning in 

February 2003. After 3 weeks, telephone interviewing began with those sample members who 

had not yet completed the self-administered interview. About 3 months following the start of 

telephone interviewing, field interviewers began tracing and interviewing nonrespondents whose 

last known address was in one of 30 geographic clusters. 

From the starting sample of 10,440 about 40 individuals were found to be deceased and 

another 10 were determined to be study ineligible. The unweighted locate rate among the 

remaining sample members was 93 percent. Of those located, 92 percent completed the 

interview for an overall unweighted response rate of 86 percent. Among respondents, 38 percent 

completed the self-administered interview on the Internet, 57 percent completed a telephone 

interview, and the remaining 5 percent were interviewed in person. 

Use of Incentives 

Incentives were offered to sample members at two different points during data collection. 

First, sample members were offered a $20 cash incentive for completing the self-administered 

interview within the first 3 weeks of data collection, prior to the start of telephone interviewing. 

Of those who completed the self-administered interview, 47 percent did so during the incentive

 v 

period. Additionally, an incentive was used to reduce nonresponse among four groups: those 

who refused to be interviewed, those who could not be reached by telephone, those for whom 

only a contact person could be reached, and those who started but did not finish the selfadministered interview. Overall, 55 percent of sample members falling into one of the four 

groups completed the interview following the offer of a nonresponse incentive. 

Refusal Conversion 

The ability of interviewers to gain the cooperation of sample members was important to 

the success of B&B:93/03. Among telephone interviewers was a group of refusal conversion 

specialists trained in converting sample members who have refused to complete the interview. 

From the point when a sample member refused, the case was handled only by these conversion 

specialists. In B&B:93/03, slightly less than 10 percent of sample members ever refused to 

participate in the interview. Of those, 49 percent completed the interview. 

Interview Burden 

Time in the B&B:93/03 interview was calculated separately according to whether the 

interview was self-administered or interviewer-administered. Self-administered interviews 

averaged almost 37 minutes, of which almost 11 minutes was due to the time required to transmit 

data to and from the respondent. Transit times varied considerably depending on the type of 

internet connection used. Interviewer-administered interviews, both telephone and in-person, 

averaged 35 minutes, with about 6 minutes required to transmit data (telephone interviews only). 

While the overall time to complete the interview was longer for self-administered respondents, 

the actual interview time was shorter for self-administered respondents. 

Usability of the Instrument 

Help text was available for every screen of the B&B:93/03 instrument. Help text screens 

displayed instructions on how to enter responses, the type of information requested, and 

definitions of words or phrases within an item. Help text usage rates were consistently under 

1 percent. 

The B&B:93/03 instrument also included tools that allowed online coding of literal 

responses for occupation, industry, major/field of study, and area of licensure/certification. 

Throughout data collection, coding experts examined samples of each set of coding results for 

completeness and the correctness of codes selected by self-administered interview respondents 

and interviewers. A comparison of recode results by mode of data collection showed that 

interviewers tended to do somewhat better than sample members in selecting the correct code. 

Indeterminate Responses 

To minimize item-level nonresponse, the B&B:93/03 interview was designed without 

explicit “don’t know” and “refuse to answer” options on screen. Instead, respondents could use 

the “continue” button to proceed without answering an item. Pop-up boxes and response 

conversion text were used to encourage respondents to provide an answer. As a result, only 20 

of over 650 full-scale interview items had missing data at a rate of 10 percent or more. 
Executive Summary

Analysis Weights 

Cross-sectional weights were developed for analyzing respondents to the B&B:93/03 

interview. In addition, a longitudinal weight was constructed for analyzing students who 

participated in all four interviews—NPSAS:93, B&B:93/94, B&B:93/97, and B&B:93/03. 

Variances were computed using the Taylor series and balanced repeated replications (BRR) 

techniques. 

Data Files 

The B&B:93/03 study was the fourth of four interviews with the B&B:93/03 cohort. The 

dataset, therefore, includes the derived variable and interview files for all four interviews. Also 

included are data collected from transcript coding, institution records, government databases, and 

admission test vendors throughout the period from the NPSAS:93 interview through the 

B&B:93/03 interview. 

Products 

In addition to the methodology report, NCES plans to release the following major 

products for B&B:93/03: a public use Data Analysis System (DAS), restricted use research files 

with an associated electronic codebook (ECB), an E.D. Tabulation of general findings, a 

descriptive summary of significant findings focusing on outcomes for bachelor’s degree 

recipients in the 10 years since degree award, and a descriptive report on the current status of 

elementary/secondary teachers who began teaching at some time in the 10-year period since 

degree award.

Foreword 

This report describes the methods and procedures used for the full-scale data collection 

effort of the 1993/03 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03). These 

students, who earned bachelor’s degrees during the 1992–93 academic year, were first 

interviewed in 1993, as part of the 1993 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:93). 

They were subsequently interviewed and undergraduate transcripts were collected during the 

first follow-up study in 1994 (B&B:93/94). Three years later, the second follow-up interview 

was conducted (B&B:93/97). B&B:93/03 is the third and final follow-up interview of the 

B&B:93 cohort, 10 years following completion of the bachelor’s degree. While, like all 

longitudinal studies, sample maintenance has presented a significant challenge over the 10-year 

span of the B&B studies, B&B:93/03 offers a unique opportunity to assess the value of the 

baccalaureate degree to both the individual and to society, at a time when sample members are 

most likely to be established in their careers. 

For the first time, B&B:93/03 offered students the opportunity to conduct their own 

interview over the Internet. A single, web-based instrument was designed and programmed for 

use as a self-administered interview, a telephone interview, and an in-person interview. A study 

website was also made available for launching the self-administered interview as well as for 

providing information about the study, contact information for project staff, and an address 

update capability. 

Evaluation of the procedures used in the full-scale study were developed and refined as 

part of the field test data collection conducted in 2002. We hope that the information provided 

here will be useful to a wide range of interested readers and that the results reported in the 

forthcoming descriptive summary report and teacher pipeline report will encourage others to use 

the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study data.

This document describes the procedures and results of the full-scale implementation of 

the 1993/03 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03). RTI International 

(RTI), with the assistance of MPR Associates, Inc. (MPR), conducted the study for the National 

Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education (Contract No. ED01-CO-0098), as authorized under Section 404(a) of the National Statistics Act of 1994, 20 

U.S.C. 9001 et seq. (2002). 

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the background, purposes, schedule, 

and products of the B&B:93/03 study. The second chapter describes the design and methods 

used during the study. Outcomes of data collection are presented in chapter 3. Evaluations of 

the quality of data collected are provided in chapter 4, and a description of the procedures used to 

create B&B:93/03 data files is presented in chapter 5. Sample weighting and variance estimation 

are discussed in chapter 6. Materials used during the field test are provided as appendices to the 

report and cited, where appropriate, in the text. The design and results of the field test study are 

presented elsewhere (Wine et al. 2004). 

1.1 Background and Objectives of B&B 

The Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B), which focuses on the 

experiences of baccalaureate degree recipients over time, was designed to collect important 

policy-relevant information regarding the occupational and further educational outcomes of 

earning a baccalaureate degree. The major issues B&B addresses concern the relative value to 

the individual and to society of earning the bachelor’s degree. Specific topics of interest include 

the length of time to complete the bachelor’s degree, the pursuit of additional postsecondary 

education beyond the bachelor’s degree, and employment outcomes. Another focus of B&B has 

been the teacher pipeline, that is, the progression of those who pursue teaching as a career as 

well as those who have taken steps to prepare for a career in teaching. 

Potential sample members were first identified and selected to participate in B&B:93/03 

as part of the cross-sectional 1992–93 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:93) of 

postsecondary undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. NPSAS:93 focused on how 

students and their families financed their postsecondary education. To be eligible to participate 

in the B&B:93 longitudinal study, sample members had to have been eligible for NPSAS:93 and 

earned a bachelor’s degree during the 1992–93 school year. The NPSAS:93 base-year interview 

collected information from students, institutions, and parents on background characteristics, 

enrollment, employment, and education financing, including financial aid. Students being 

awarded the bachelor’s degree at the time of the NPSAS:93 interview were eligible for 

membership in the B&B:93 longitudinal cohort and, as part of their NPSAS:93 interview, were 

asked additional questions about their plans for the future, particularly graduate education and 

any plans to pursue a career in teaching kindergarten through grade 12 (K–12). 
Chapter 1: Overview of B&B:93/03

The B&B:93 cohort was interviewed again 1 year following degree completion 

(B&B:93/94). The interview itself covered a number of topics related to education since receipt 

of the bachelor’s degree, including job search and the transition into employment, job training, 

family formation, civic participation, and finances (including income, student loans, and other 

debt). In addition, undergraduate transcripts were collected from the schools from which 

B&B:93 sample members earned their bachelor’s degrees. As part of the transcript data 

collection, school-level information (e.g., information from course catalogs and grading systems) 

was collected for each sample school. Student-level data, such as major and minor fields of 

study, grade point average, courses taken, and grades earned, were coded for each student within 

a school. Transcripts from transfer schools were also coded, when available. 

A second follow-up interview with the B&B:93 cohort was conducted in 1997, 4 years 

following bachelor’s degree completion (B&B:93/97). This second follow-up interview 

collected detailed information on postbaccalaureate enrollment, including degrees sought, 

enrollment intensity and duration, finances, and degree attainment. Employment information 

and experiences, such as the number of jobs held since the last interview, occupations, salaries, 

benefits, and job satisfaction, were also collected. Those already in or newly identified for 

teaching careers were asked questions about their preparation to teach, work experience at the 

K–12 level, and satisfaction with teaching as a career. In addition to questions about education 

and employment, the 1997 interview continued to update information on family formation and 

civic participation. 

The final follow-up interview of the B&B:93 cohort in 2003 (B&B:93/03), conducted 10 

years following degree completion, allowed further study of the issues already addressed by the 

preceding follow-up studies. The 2003 interview covered topics related to continuing education, 

degree attainment, employment, career choice, family formation, and finances. Additionally, 

respondents were asked to reflect on the value of their undergraduate education and any other 

education obtained since receiving the bachelor’s degree to their lives now. It also contained a 

separate set of questions directed at new entrants to the teacher pipeline, as well as those who 

were continuing in or left teaching since the last interview. 

The remainder of this report provides details on the B&B:93/03 sampling design and data 

collection outcomes. It also presents the results of analyses conducted to evaluate the quality of 

the B&B:93/03 data, as well as an overview of the B&B:93/03 data files and variables. Finally, 

the report provides a discussion of procedures and results related to weighting, variance 

estimation, precision, nonresponse bias, and imputations. Unless otherwise indicated, a criterion 

probability level of 0.05 was used for all tests of significance. 

1.2 Schedule and Products of B&B:93/03 

The B&B:93 full-scale study was preceded by a field test. Full-scale data collection took

Chapter 2

Design and Method 

This chapter describes the sampling design used for the Baccalaureate and Beyond 

Longitudinal Study (B&B), beginning with an overview of the sampling procedures used since 

the base-year study (1993 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study [NPSAS:93]). Sampling 

procedures and data collection design for the final follow-up study (B&B:93/03) are presented in 

detail, including sample member locating and contacting activities and interview design. The 

many systems supporting B&B:93/03 are also described. 

2.1 Sampling Design 

The target population for the B&B:93 full-scale study consisted of those individuals who 

were eligible to participate in NPSAS:93 and were awarded the bachelor’s degree by a 

postsecondary institution in the United States or Puerto Rico. Members of the B&B:93 cohort 

were identified during NPSAS:93, which served as the base year for the longitudinal study. The 

B&B:93 cohort consisted of both students who completed the NPSAS:93 interview and were 

identified to be baccalaureate recipients, and those NPSAS:93 nonrespondents who were 

potentially eligible for B&B who had at least some data (from either the institutional records or 

the computer-assisted telephone interviewing [CATI]).1 The NPSAS:93 sampling design was a 

two-stage design in which eligible institutions were selected first, and then eligible students were 

selected from eligible, participating institutions. The sampling procedures used to select 

institutions and students in the base-year and follow-up studies are described below. The 

numbers shown in the text and tables of this report have been rounded to the nearest tens and 

hundreds to maintain the confidentiality of study participants. 

2.1.1 NPSAS:93 Institution Universe 

The institution universe for the B&B was the set of institutions eligible for NPSAS:93. 

To be eligible for NPSAS:93, an institution had to do the following during the 1992–93 

academic year: 

• offer an education program designed for persons who have completed secondary 

education; 

• offer an academically, occupationally, or vocationally oriented program of study; 

• offer courses to students not employed by the institution; 

• offer more than just correspondence courses; 

• offer at least one program requiring at least 3 months or 300 clock hours of 

instruction; 

 

1 NPSAS:93 nonrespondents were identified as potentially eligible for inclusion in the B&B cohort if there was 

information from institutional records indicating that they had received, or expected to receive, a baccalaureate 

degree between July 1, 1992 and June 30, 1993. 
Chapter 2: Design and Method

 6 

• be located in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico; and 

• not be a U.S. service academy. 

U.S. service academies were excluded from participation because of their atypical 

funding and tuition base. Also ineligible were institutions offering only avocational, 

recreational, remedial, or correspondence courses; institutions offering only noncredit continuing 

education units (CEUs); schools whose only purpose was to prepare students to take a particular 

examination (e.g., the Certified Public Accountant [CPA] or Bar exams); institutions offering 

only programs of study which required less than 3 months or 300 contact hours of instruction; 

and branch campuses of U.S. institutions in foreign countries. 

2.1.2 NPSAS:93 Institution Sample 

The institution-level sampling frame for NPSAS:93 was constructed from the 1990–91 

Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) Institutional Characteristics (IC) file. 

Excluded from the frame were those NPSAS:93-ineligible institutions described above and five 

institutions determined to be ineligible based on discrepancies in the IPEDS enrollment data. 

The resulting sampling frame contained 10,140 institutions that appeared to be eligible for 

NPSAS:93 based on their 1990–91 IPEDS IC data. 

Geographic areas defined by three-digit postal zip codes were used as the basis for 

creating primary sampling units (PSUs) of nearly equal sizes to ensure statistical efficiency. The 

final area sampling frame contained 291 PSUs, of which 86 were certainty and the remaining 

205 were noncertainty.2

 The final NPSAS:93 sample contained the 86 certainty PSUs and a 

sample of 90 of the 205 noncertainty PSUs selected with probabilities proportional to size, for a 

total of 176 PSUs. All institutions within the 176 sample PSUs were then combined into a single 

frame, stratified by the 22 strata shown in table 2. Sample institutions were selected using 

measures of size that were proportional to the expected sample allocation for the institution. 

Although the IPEDS frame provided good coverage of the population of postsecondary 

institutions, a supplemental sample was selected from the Office of Postsecondary Education’s 

Institutional Data System (OPE-IDS) file of institutions participating in the Pell Grant and 

Stafford Loan Programs as of April 15, 1992, to improve coverage. The OPE-IDS file was 

subset to those institutions located in the 176 survey PSUs based on zip codes. 

Within the 22 institutional strata for the primary sample of institutions, the sample was 

implicitly stratified by sorting the frame units by the following variables: 

• Office of Business Economics (OBE) region;3

• state; 

• PSU; and 

 

2 PSUs that contained the largest institutions were defined to be certainty PSUs. For more information, see 

Methodology Report for the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, 1992-93 (Loft et al. 1995). 3

 The OBE region classifications are as follows: 1 includes CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, VT; 2 includes DE, DC, MD NJ, NY, 

PA; 3 includes IL, IN, MI, OH, WI; 4 includes IA, KS, MN, MO, NE, ND, SD; 5 includes AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, 

NC, PR, SC, TN, VA, WV; 6 includes AZ, NM, OK, TX; 7 includes CO, ID, MT, UT, WY; 8 includes CA, HI, NV, OR, 

WA; and 9 includes AK and HI.

• measure of size. 

A sample of 1,360 institutions (720 from the certainty PSUs and 640 from the noncertainty 

PSUs) was selected for the primary sample from the IPEDS frame. 

The supplemental sample from OPE-IDS file was implicitly stratified by sorting by the 

following variables: 

• level (less-than-2-year, 2-year, or 4-year); 

• control (public, private not-for-profit, or private for-profit); and 

• the Study ID from the OPE-IDS file (in order to produce a unique frame ordering). 

Twenty-two institutions were selected from the OPE-IDS frame to create the supplemental 

sample. 

The overall institution sample sizes are shown in table 2 for each of the 22 institutional 

sampling strata. The expected frequency of selection exceeded unity (1.00) for some institutions, 

and those institutions were included in the sample with certainty. The numbers of certainty and 

noncertainty selections of institutions for the primary sample are shown for each stratum in 

table 3.

2.1.3 NPSAS:93 Student Universe 

Students eligible for inclusion in the B&B:93 longitudinal cohort were those students 

who were eligible for NPSAS:93. NPSAS-eligible students had to have been enrolled in a 

NPSAS-eligible institution between July 1, 1992, and June 30, 1993, and 

• enrolled in either (a) course(s) for credit toward a degree or formal award; (b) a 

degree or formal award program of at least 3 months; or (c) an academically, 

occupationally, or vocationally specific program requiring at least 3 months or 300 

clock hours of instruction; 

• not currently enrolled in high school; and 

• not currently solely in a general equivalency diploma (GED) or other high school 

completion program. 

Additionally, to be eligible for the B&B:93 cohort, students could have been awarded a 

baccalaureate degree at some time between July 1, 1992, and June 30, 1993, irrespective of their 

enrollment status during the academic year. The sampling process is described in more detail 

below. 

2.1.4 NPSAS:93 Student Sample 

To create the NPSAS student sampling frame, each sample institution was asked to 

provide a list of all students enrolled during the NPSAS year (July 1, 1992–June 30, 1993) and 

those awarded a baccalaureate degree at some point during that year, according to eligibility 

criteria provided to the institutions. Stratified systematic sampling was used to facilitate 

sampling from lists. For each sample institution, student sampling rates were determined for 

each of five student sampling strata: 

• business major baccalaureates; 

• other baccalaureate recipients; 

• other undergraduates, including enrollees at less-than-4-year institutions; 

• graduate students; and 

• first-professional students. 

The sampling rates depended on the overall population sampling rates for the five types of 

students, the probability of selecting the institution, and a requirement for a minimum of 40 

sample students per institution whenever possible. 

Sample institutions identified those students eligible to receive the bachelor’s degree 

during the 1992–93 academic year for inclusion in the B&B:93 cohort. In addition, during the 

CATI, those students who indicated having received a baccalaureate degree during the 1992–93 

academic year were also included. From the NPSAS:93 sample, 16,320 baccalaureate degree 

recipients were identified for participation in the B&B:93 cohort.

2.1.5 B&B:93 Cohort—Follow-up Samples 

Sampling procedures used to maintain the B&B:93 cohort through the follow-up studies 

are summarized below. Greater detail of the sampling procedures used in each follow-up can be 

found in the respective methodology reports (Loft et al. 1995; Green et al. 1996; Green et al. 

1999). Table 4 presents the distributions of the student samples from each wave. 

2.1.5.1 First follow-up—B&B:93/94 

As discussed above, 16,320 baccalaureate degree recipients were identified for inclusion 

in the B&B:93 cohort from institutionally-provided lists of students who were eligible for 

graduation or who indicated having graduated in the 1992–93 academic year during the CATI 

interview. All 11,810 of the identified students who completed the NPSAS:93 interview were 

retained for the B&B:93 cohort. Also retained were 370 student nonrespondents for whom 

NPSAS parent data were available that indicated that the student received the bachelor’s degree 

during 1992–93. Additionally, a 10 percent subsample of the remaining eligible cases with at 

least some data was included, for a total of 12,7304

 eligible cases. It became apparent during 

data collection that many of the nonrespondents and potentially eligible cases were actually 

ineligible. Because of the costs associated with the ineligible students, only a subsample of the 

nonrespondents and potentially eligible students was selected, reducing the B&B sample size to 

12,480 (see table 4).

2.1.5.2 Second follow-up—B&B:93/97 

B&B:93/94 included a transcript component in which eligibility for the B&B:93 cohort 

was determined for base-year nonrespondents. After data collection was complete for the first 

follow-up, additional ineligible cases were found in the cohort based on the information obtained 

from the transcript data. Sample members were retained for follow-up in later rounds if they 

were found to be eligible in either the CATI or the transcript component. In total, 11,190 cases 

were retained for the second follow-up, B&B:93/97: 10,080 CATI-eligible cases, 1,090 

transcript-eligible cases, and 20 cases for which eligibility was unknown for both components. 
Chapter 2: Design and Method 

 13 

2.1.5.3 Third follow-up—B&B:93/03 

All of the B&B:93/97 respondents were included in the B&B:93/03 sample. However, 

because it is more difficult and expensive to locate and interview prior nonrespondents, a 

subsample of about one-third, or 360 of B&B:93/97 nonrespondents was included. After 

removing cases identified as deceased, the final sample for B&B:93/03 was 10,440 (see table 4). 

The subsample of nonrespondents for B&B:93/03 was stratified by respondent 

characteristics to ensure that a sufficient range of respondent characteristics was represented. 

Specifically, controlling for type of institution, age of student, and whether the student was in the 

teaching pipeline was important for ensuring representativeness of the sample. In addition, 

stratification by advance tracing outcome and prior-round response status was used to 

oversample students who were most likely to be located and interviewed. 

Three nonrespondent subsampling strata were defined in terms of the B&B:93/03 

advance tracing status: 

• Students who were located during the advance tracing process (these students are 

most likely to be found and interviewed); 

• Students who were not located during the advance tracing process, but for whom 

another contact was located; and 

• Students who were not located, and for whom no other contact was located (these 

students are least likely to be found and interviewed). 

These three sampling strata were further subdivided based on the control of the base-year 

institutions and on the response status to B&B:93/94 (respondent or nonrespondent). The final 

sampling strata for selecting the subsample of B&B:93/97 nonrespondents were defined as 

shown in table 5. 

An indicator of whether the student is in the teaching pipeline and the age of the student 

were also considered as part of the stratification. However, the “teacher pipeline” indicator was 

not available for the 460 students who were nonrespondents to both the 1993 and 1997 survey. 

Of the remainder, almost all were classified as not in the pipeline. Further division based on 

student age would have created some strata with very few eligible students. For these reasons, 

age and teacher pipeline status were not used in the stratification. Instead, the file was sorted by 

age within subsampling strata prior to selecting the sample. 

After the nonrespondent sampling strata were defined, a sample allocation was developed 

that minimized the overall relative cost, subject to constraints that limited the unequal weighting 

effect, both overall and for each of the 16 B&B strata.5

 The sampling rates and the resulting 

sample allocations are shown in table 5. 

A stratified sample of 360 nonrespondents was selected with probabilities proportional to 

their B&B:93/94 base weights6

 using the sample allocation shown in table 5. Selection of the

 The B&B strata are the first 16 of the 22 NPSAS:93 institutional strata shown in table 2 that correspond to 4-year

 The weight used was the B&B:93/94 base weight (BNBWT0). 
Chapter 2: Design and Method

 14 

B&B:93/97 nonrespondents with probabilities proportional to these weights was used in order to 

reduce the overall unequal weighting effects for the sample. These weights are the basis for 

computation of the B&B:93/03 analysis weights.

2.2 Data Collection Design 

This section describes the procedures implemented in the full-scale data collection effort 

for B&B:93/03. Topics discussed include the methods used to locate sample members and to 

inform them about the study, focusing on the development of a study website and other 

notification materials. A unique feature of this data collection effort is that a single web-based 

data collection instrument was developed to be administered to respondents in three modes: selfadministered via the Internet, with a trained interviewer over the telephone using CATI, and with 

a trained interviewer in person using computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI). Other 

topics discussed include training of data collection staff, respondent incentives, and data 

collection systems. 
Chapter 2: Design and Method 

 15 

2.2.1 Pre-Data-Collection Activities 

2.2.1.1 Student website 

A critical element of B&B:93/03 was the design and implementation of a study website 

from which sample members could update address information and access the self-administered 

interview. The website also provided contact information for the study’s Help Desk and project 

staff, links to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and RTI websites, and 

information about the B&B:93/03 study, such as the history of the study and a summary of 

findings from prior interviews. Because the website address was included with all mailings to 

sample members, it could be accessed by sample members beginning with the first 

prenotification mailing. 

The B&B:93/03 website was designed in accordance with NCES web policies. A twotier security approach was used to protect all address and interview data collected through the 

website. At the first tier, sample members were required to log on to the secure areas of the 

website using a unique and randomly assigned Study ID sent by mail. In addition, access to the 

interview required a password that consisted of information from a prior interview that only the 

respondent would know. At the second tier of security, data entered on the B&B:93/03 

website—both contact information and interview responses—were protected with Secure Socket 

Layer (SSL) technology, ensuring that only encrypted data were transmitted over the Internet. 

2.2.1.2 Advance locating 

Advance tracing activities for the full-scale B&B:93/03 were conducted prior to the start 

of data collection so that updated locating information could be obtained for full-scale sample 

members (see figure 1). In the fall of 2001, as part of the B&B:93/03 field test, RTI sent the fullscale sample for batch searches conducted on databases from the Department of Education’s 

Central Processing System (CPS), the National Change of Address (NCOA), TransUnion’s 

credit information, Telematch, and ComServ’s Death Information System (DIS) databases. In 

the fall of 2002, RTI resubmitted the full-scale sample to CPS, NCOA, and Telematch to provide 

more current tracing information. For many sample members, these searches either confirmed 

existing information or yielded new locating data. Cases for which batch locating efforts were 

unsuccessful were sent to RTI’s Tracing Operations (TOPS) unit for further tracing.

2.2.1.3 Notification materials 

The primary goal of RTI’s full-scale tracing plan was to make early contact with sample 

members to evaluate the accuracy of contact information obtained from advance tracing efforts 

and provide information that would rekindle sample member interest in B&B:93/03. RTI 

designed several pre-data-collection mailouts to accomplish these goals. All data collection 

mailout materials are presented in appendix A. 

Prenotification mailing. The first step in contacting B&B:93/03 sample members was 

to send a prenotification mailing 3 months prior to the start of data collection. The 

prenotification mailing contained materials describing the study, including the study leaflet that 

described the purpose and history of B&B:93/03. It also included a letter with a Post-it® note 

attached that listed the B&B:93/03 web address and toll free number, and an address update 

sheet with a postage-paid return envelope. All materials provided sample members with the 

website address and a toll-free number to contact the B&B:93/03 project director with any 

questions or concerns. 

If the prenotification mailing was returned as “undeliverable,” any new forwarding 

information provided by the post office was entered into a locator database. Up to two additional 

mailings were sent to the next “best-known” mailing address for each case in which a mailing 

was returned as undeliverable without a forwarding address. Cases for which a second remail 

was returned as undeliverable were sent to TOPS for advance tracing in order to obtain a good 

address for the subsequent mailings (described below). 

2.2.1.4 Notification Mailings 

Two weeks before the start of data collection, RTI sent a postcard to all B&B:93/03 fullscale sample members. The postcard reminded sample members that data collection was about 

to begin and alerted them that a package containing important information about the B&B:93/03 

interview would be sent in about a week. The postcard also provided the B&B:93/03 web 

address and toll-free number. 

One week before the start of data collection, RTI mailed lead letter packets to sample 

members. The mailing included a personalized letter, a Post-it® note with the study website 

address and toll-free number, a study leaflet, an address update sheet with a postage-paid return 

envelope, and a magnetic picture frame with an insert displaying the sample member’s Study ID 

and password. The purpose of this mailing was to inform sample members that data collection 

was starting and to provide information on how to complete the interview. 

Both the postcard and lead letter were sent to sample members in three successive waves. 

The sample was divided evenly into three groups to ensure that the Telephone and Internet 

Operations (TIO) unit was not overburdened at the start of CATI data collection. 

2.2.2 Interview Design 

The first step in creating the B&B:93/03 interview was to build upon the data elements 

used in prior surveys with the B&B:93 cohort. The data elements were developed with input 
Chapter 2: Design and Method

 18 

from the study’s Technical Review Panel (TRP) (see appendix B for a list of members) as well 

as from NCES and other Department of Education staff. See appendix C for the final set of data 

elements used in the B&B:93/03 survey. 

The B&B:93/03 interview was first developed for implementation in the field test and 

was then revised for full-scale administration based on recommendations from NCES and the 

TRP. Instrument specifications defined the structure of sections, variable names and definitions, 

skip patterns, out-of-range limits, and, when necessary, item verifications. 

Figure 2 shows the progression and topics covered in the interview sections. The 

education section gathered information on any postsecondary education obtained since the last 

interview (B&B:93/97), including formal degree programs (undergraduate and graduate), credit 

and noncredit coursework, and courses to obtain or maintain certification and licensure. The 

employment section collected information on employment status, characteristics of respondents’ 

careers, and information concerning any time spent out of the workforce. The next section for 

teachers and those considering teaching contained questions about teaching (kindergarten 

through grade 12) to monitor movement into and out of the teacher pipeline and to gather 

information on teacher preparation, job characteristics, and job satisfaction. To better understand 

the costs and benefits of obtaining a baccalaureate degree, the finance section contained 

questions focusing on income, assets, debts, and savings, as well as education loan burden. The 

final section obtained student demographic characteristics, focusing on marital status and family 

composition, volunteerism and political activism, as well as disability status. Facsimiles of the 

B&B:93/03 interview and the previous interviews used for this cohort are provided in 

appendix D. 

A single, web-based instrument was designed and programmed for the B&B:93/03 

interview for use in three modes of data collection: as a self-administered web interview, 

telephone interview (CATI), and field interview (CAPI). B&B:93/03 sample members could 

access the interview directly from the study website by entering the unique Study ID and 

password provided to all sample members. Telephone interviewers accessed the web interview 

through the case management system in RTI’s TIO unit. Field interviewers accessed the 

interview through a case management system installed on each field laptop, and the interview 

was run from the laptop’s own local web server and database engine with interview data 

downloaded nightly. 

Self-administered respondents and interviewers were guided through the interview 

questions depending on skip logic that used answers to previous questions and preloaded 

information from previous interviews. When necessary, pop-up messages appeared with text, 

intended to clarify inconsistent or out-of-range responses or to convert item nonresponse. 

Coding systems were implemented to standardize the categorization of major, occupation and 

industry, postsecondary institutions attended by respondents, and, for respondents who taught, 

elementary and secondary schools in which they worked.

Since the same instrument was used for all modes of administration, it was important to 

ensure that self-administered respondents and interviewer-administered respondents could 

respond to the same stimulus. Several steps were taken to achieve this goal. First, a link to a 

separate help text window (the same help text was available to interviewers and respondents) 

was provided on every page so that respondents and interviewers were able to view definitions of 

terms and clarifications of question intent. Interviewers were instructed to use the help text when 

needed to make sure that all respondents received the same information when they had questions 

about a particular item. Another difference due to the mode of administration was that web 
Chapter 2: Design and Method

 20 

respondents were able to read the list of response options, and CATI respondents could not. To 

remedy this discrepancy, interviewer instructions were displayed (for CATI/CAPI cases only) at 

the top of each screen indicating whether response options were to be read to respondents. A 

benefit to CATI/CAPI respondents that web respondents did not share was that interviewers 

could indicate the progress of the interview and encourage CATI/CAPI respondents to continue. 

Thus, a progress bar was displayed for self-administered respondents. The progress bar 

indicated how much of an interview section had been completed and, overall, how many sections 

had been completed. 

2.2.3 Data Collection Activities 

2.2.3.1 Staff training 

Various types of data collection staff were used for the B&B:93/03 full-scale data 

collection, including tracing specialists, supervisors and monitors, Help Desk agents, telephone 

interviewers, and field interviewers. Specialized training sessions were conducted for each of 

these groups. A sample training agenda and table of contents from a training manual are 

provided in appendix E. Each training session covered an overview of the study, review of 

confidentiality requirements, a demonstration interview, question-by-question review of the 

instrument, as well as hands-on practice with the tracing module, instrument, and coding 

systems. In addition, each training session contained specialized instruction for each job, as 

described below. 

• Tracing specialists received instruction on project-specific tracing protocols for 

tracing the sample members, as well as on the most effective tracing sources. 

• Supervisors and monitors received instruction on project specific supervision and 

monitoring guidelines. 

• Help Desk agents received training on answering questions about the study, as well as 

technical questions from sample members, and were trained to document each call 

made to the study hotline. 

• Telephone interviewers received information on the content of the interview, as well 

as on gaining cooperation from sample members, parents, and other contacts, and 

techniques for refusal avoidance and addressing the concerns of reluctant participants. 

• Field interviewers received information on the content of the interview, as well as 

training on field-specific operations, including the field case management system and 

field tracing procedures. 

2.2.3.2 Early response incentive 

In an effort to increase response rates and reduce the costs associated with telephone 

interviewing, all respondents were offered an incentive (a $20 check) for completing the selfadministered web interview within the first 3 weeks of data collection. Sample members were 

notified of this opportunity in the lead letter mailing. Only web self-administered interviewing 

was possible during this 3-week period. 
Chapter 2: Design and Method 

 21 

2.2.3.3 Help Desk 

A Help Desk was available throughout data collection to assist sample members who had 

questions or problems accessing and completing the self-administered interview. The Help Desk 

was set up to receive inbound calls to a toll-free number, which had been provided to sample 

members in the study’s notification materials. Help Desk staff were trained to assist sample 

members with both technical questions and questions about the study, as well as to conduct 

interviews. If sample members called the Help Desk because they had difficulty completing the 

self-administered interview, Help Desk agents encouraged sample members to complete the 

interview over the telephone at that time. 

Help Desk agents used a specially-designed application to systematically document all 

calls from sample members. The Help Desk application also provided the following: 

• information needed to verify a sample member’s identity; 

• login information allowing a sample member to access the web interview; and 

• reports on the types and frequency of problems experienced by sample members and 

their resolution status. 

2.2.3.4 Interviews 

Self-administered interviews. B&B:93/03 introduced self-administered web 

interviewing as an option to sample members for the first time. There were many unique 

features and benefits of the self-administered web interview: 

• respondents could complete the survey at a convenient time; 

• the interview could be completed at any location with computer access (home, work, 

library, school, etc.); 

• respondents were able to break off the interview and resume at another time; 

• security features included password-protected login, encrypted data transmission, and 

automatic logout after idle periods; 

• the CATI case management system (CMS) controlled access to active cases so that 

respondents in the process of completing the self-administered web interview would 

not be called by an interviewer; and 

• if they encountered any problems with the self-administered interview, sample 

members were offered the option of completing the survey with an interviewer by 

calling the Help Desk. 

Sample members were notified of this data collection option during the initial notification 

mailing. For the first 3 weeks of data collection, only web interviews were completed unless a 

respondent called the Help Desk with questions about completing the telephone interview. 

Telephone interviews. CATI began at the end of the 3-week web interviewing period. 

The CATI software used an embedded automated call-scheduler to assign and deliver cases to 

interviewers. This system allowed calls to be scheduled on the basis of case priority and time of 
Chapter 2: Design and Method

 22 

day. Case assignments made by the scheduler maximized the likelihood of contacting and 

interviewing sample members by using information from prior call outcomes. The callscheduler also prevented CATI calls from being made to cases that were currently in progress on 

the web or had recently been completed. 

Limited tracing was conducted by telephone interviewers when sample members could 

not be located at a known telephone number during CATI. Telephone interviewers used Fast 

Data and directory assistance services, as well as locating information for the sample member 

provided by contacts during an earlier interview. Cases that could not be located using any of 

the existing address information were sent for intensive tracing in RTI’s TOPS unit. Cases not 

located in TOPS were either sent to the field for locating and interviewing or were returned to 

TOPS for additional intensive tracing (TOPS2). 

Field interviews. B&B:93/03 full-scale field CAPI activities began approximately 

4 months following the start of CATI. Using the best known address for each case, RTI’s 

Geographic Information System (GIS) program conducted an analysis of the B&B:93/03 sample 

to determine the 30 geographic areas with the highest density of B&B:93/03 sample members. 

Based on that analysis, field interviewers (FIs) were hired for each cluster to work any 

nonrespondent case residing within a 50-mile radius of the cluster center. 

Field interviews were conducted by the local FI either in person or by telephone. A Field 

Management System (FMS) located on each Fis laptop assisted with caseload management. The 

FMS also updated reports that informed project staff of the progress of the field interviewing 

effort. Once assigned to the field, cases could not be accessed by CATI interviewers but could 

still be completed as a self-administered interview over the Internet. 

2.2.3.5 Nonresponse incentive 

Use of incentives for nonrespondents has been shown to be effective in increasing 

response rates while containing data collection costs (Riccobono et al. 2001; Wine et al. 2002; 

Wine et al. 2004). A nonresponse incentive was offered to three types of nonrespondents: those 

who initially refused the interview, those for whom intensive tracing yielded a good mailing 

address but no telephone number, and those identified as “hard to reach,” that is, those with 15 or 

more call attempts and those with whom contact had been established but no appointment 

scheduled. All cases assigned to FIs were also treated as nonrespondent cases. The 

nonrespondent incentive mailing consisted of a letter tailored to the specific type of 

nonrespondent (see appendix A) and an offer to receive a $20 check upon completion of the 

interview. 

2.3 Data Collection Systems 

2.3.1 Instrument Development and Documentation System (IDADS) 

The Instrument Development and Documentation System (IDADS) was a combination 

web and Visual Basic (VB) environment in which project staff developed, reviewed, modified, 

and communicated changes to specifications, code, and documentation for the B&B:93/03 

instrument. All information relating to the B&B:93/03 instrument was stored in a Structured 
Chapter 2: Design and Method 

 23 

Query Language (SQL) Server database and was made accessible through web browser and 

Windows VB interfaces. There were three modules within IDADS: specification, programming, 

and documentation. 

2.3.1.1 Specification module 

The IDADS specification module provided tools and graphical user interfaces for 

creating, searching, reviewing, commenting on, updating, importing, and exporting information 

associated with instrument development. A web interface provided access to the instrument 

specifications for project staff at MPR and NCES. 

2.3.1.2 Programming module 

Once specifications were finalized, the programming module within IDADS produced 

hypertext transfer markup language (HTML), Active Server Pages (ASP), and JavaScript 

template program code for each screen based on the contents of the SQL Server database. This 

output included question wording, response options, and code to write the responses to a 

database, as well as code to automatically handle such web instrument functions as backing up 

and moving forward, recording timer data, and linking to context-specific help text. 

Programming staff edited the automatically-generated code to customize screen appearance and 

to program response-based routing. 

2.3.1.3 Documentation module 

The documentation module contained the finalized version of all instrument items, their 

screen wording, and variable and value labels. Also included were the more technical 

descriptions of items such as variable types (alpha or numeric), information regarding to whom 

the item was administered, and frequency distributions for response categories. The 

documentation module was used to generate the instrument facsimiles and the deliverable 

Electronic Codebook (ECB) input files. 

2.3.2 Integrated Management System (IMS) 

All aspects of the study were controlled using an Integrated Management System (IMS). 

The IMS was a comprehensive set of desktop tools designed to give project staff and NCES 

access to a centralized, easily accessible repository for project data and documents. The 

B&B:93/03 IMS consisted of several components: the management module, the Receipt Control 

System (RCS) module, and the instrumentation module. 

2.3.2.1 Management module 

The management module of the IMS included tools and strategies to assist project staff 

and the NCES project officer in managing the study. All management information pertinent to 

the study was located there, accessible via the Web, and protected by SSL encryption and 

password-protected login. Available on the IMS were the current project schedule, monthly 

progress reports, daily data collection reports and status reports (generated by the RCS described 

below), project plans and specifications, key project information and deliverables, instrument 

specifications, staff contacts, the project bibliography, and a document archive. The IMS also 
Chapter 2: Design and Method

 24 

had a download area from which staff at MPR and National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES) could retrieve large files when necessary. 

2.3.2.2 Receipt Control System (RCS) 

The RCS was an integrated set of systems that monitored all activities related to data 

collection, including tracing and locating. Through the RCS, project staff were able to perform 

stage-specific activities, track case statuses, identify problems early, and implement solutions 

effectively. The RCS’s locator data were used for a number of daily tasks related to sample 

maintenance. Specifically, the mailout system produced mailings to sample members, the query 

system enabled administrators to review the locator information and status for a particular case, 

and the mail return system enabled project staff to update the locator database as mailings or 

address update sheets were returned or forwarding information was received. The RCS also 

interacted with the TOPS database, sending locator data between the two systems as necessary. 

A subcomponent of the RCS, the Field Case Management System (FCMS), controlled 

field interviewing activities. The FCMS allowed field staff to conduct tracing and CAPI, 

communicate with RTI staff via electronic mail, transmit completed cases, and receive new 

cases. 

2.3.2.3 Instrumentation module 

The instrumentation module managed development of the multimode web data collection 

instrument within IDADS. Developing the instrument with IDADS ensured that all variables 

were linked to their item/screen wording and thoroughly documented. 

2.3.3 The Variable Tracking System (VTS) 

The central mechanism for constructing input files for the NCES ECB was a software 

application called the Variable Tracking System (VTS). The VTS tracked and stored 

documentation for both interview and derived variables required for the ECB and NCES’ Data 

Analysis System (DAS). This included weighted and unweighted variable distributions, variable 

labels and codes, value labels, and a text field describing the development of each variable and 

the programming code used to construct it. Input files for the ECB and DAS systems were 

automatically produced by the VTS according to NCES specifications.

Chapter 3 

Data Collection Outcomes 

Full-scale data collection for the 1993/03 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study 

(B&B:93/03) required several steps involved with locating sample members and their 

completion of either a self-administered, telephone, or in-person interview. This chapter 

presents the outcomes of the data collection (including interview rates, both overall and by 

mode) and burden on respondents. It also assesses the effectiveness of the data collection 

strategies used in locating, contacting, and interviewing sample members. 

3.1 Contacting and Interviewing Outcomes 

Contacting and interviewing results for the B&B:93/03 full-scale data collection are 

presented in figure 3. Prior to the start of data collection, 10,440 sample members were 

considered eligible to participate in the B&B:93/03 interview, including 360 nonrespondents to 

the B&B:93/97 interview. Of the initial sample, 0.4 percent was found to be either study 

ineligible or deceased. Ninety three percent of sample members were located (i.e., RTI 

interviewers reached the sample member in his or her household), and the remaining 7 percent 

could not be located throughout data collection. 

Less than 1 percent, of those located sample members were excluded from data collection 

because they were found to be out of the country, institutionalized, incarcerated, physically or 

mentally incapacitated, or otherwise unavailable for the duration of the data collection period. 

Another 6 percent refused to participate either directly or through a gatekeeper. Among the 

B&B:93/03 sample members who were eligible for participation, 8,970 were interviewed, for an 

overall unweighted response rate of 86.3 percent (83.4 percent weighted response rate). 

3.1.1 Interviewing Outcomes by Mode 

B&B:93/03 used a web-based, multimode data collection strategy which combined selfadministered, telephone, and in-person interviewing options. For the first 3 weeks of data 

collection, only the self-administered web option was available. Help Desk staff were trained to 

provide assistance with computer problems as needed by web respondents and to complete a 

telephone interview if the computer problems could not be resolved. At the end of the 3-week, 

“web-only” period, computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) began with all incomplete 

cases. Three months following the start of CATI, selected nonrespondent cases were sent to the 

field for computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI). 

Completion mode for student interviews is presented in table 6. Although the web, selfadministered option was new to the B&B:93 cohort, 38 percent of respondents chose this 

method, whereas 57 percent of those responding completed their interview by telephone. For the 

first 3 weeks of data collection, sample members could only complete the B&B:93/03 interview 

over the Web. Any sample member who completed the interview during the 3-week web period 

was paid an incentive (see section 3.3).

Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03). 

CATI locating and interviewing began 3 weeks following the start of web data collection 

and continued for almost 7 months. By the end of data collection, 49 percent of the sample had 

completed the B&B:93/03 interview by telephone. Although telephone interviewing did not 

begin until after the web early incentive period expired, about 110 telephone interviews were 

conducted by Help Desk staff during the incentive period if it was determined that the 

respondent had insurmountable computer problems, preventing completion of the web interview. 

About 3 months following the start of CATI data collection, field interviewers began 

tracing and interviewing all interview nonrespondents whose last known address was in one of 

30 geographic clusters. A total of 700 cases were sent to the field during the 3.5 months of CAPI 

data collection. Of those, 68 percent completed an interview, which represents 5 percent of all 

respondents. 

Typically, in a longitudinal study, participation in a preceding interview is a good 

predictor of the likelihood that a sample member will participate in a future interview. For 

B&B:93/03, a comparison of contact and interview rates in table 7 shows that those who 

participated in B&B:93/97 were more likely to be both located and interviewed during the 

B&B:93/03 interview. More B&B:93/97 respondents were located (94 percent) and interviewed 

(88 percent) than nonrespondents (76 percent contacted [z = 11.9; p < 0.01] and 52 percent 

interviewed [z = 14.1; p < 0.01]).

3.2 Locating and Interviewing Outcomes 

Effectively tracing and locating sample members was critical to the success of the 

B&B:93/03 data collection effort. Since the last contact with sample members occurred in 1997 

or in 1994 for B&B:93/97 nonrespondents, tracing and locating were expected to be particularly 

difficult. Locating activities required tracing prior to data collection, additional tracing by 

interviewers during data collection, intensive tracing by RTI’s Tracing Operations (TOPS) unit, 

and tracing by field interviewers. The results of each of these tracing activities are presented 

below.

3.2.1 Pre-Data-Collection Tracing 

Tracing of the full-scale sample began in the fall of 2001 by updating any contact 

information collected during the B&B:93/94 and B&B:93/97 interviews. Several tracing sources 

were used, including the Central Processing System (CPS), which contains federal financial aid 

application information; the National Change of Address (NCOA) from the U.S. Postal Service; 

databases from Telematch; TransUnion’s credit information; and the Death Information System 

(DIS). Before B&B:93/97 nonrespondents were stratified and subsampled, the entire full-scale 

sample was sent for batch tracing. Table 8 shows the record match rate for each method of batch 

tracing employed. 

Table 8. Batch processing record match rates, by tracing source: 2003 

Method of tracing Number of records sent Percent matched1

Central Processing System (2002–03) 11,070 1.7 

National Change of Address 11,180 37.4 

Telematch 11,180 73.5 

TransUnion 11,190 99.0 

Death Information System 11,080 0.4 1

Percent match rate is based on the number of records sent for batch tracing as part of the sample stratification process. 

Since records were sent to multiple tracing sources, multiple records matches were possible. Because different information 

was required for each method of tracing, the number of records that could be sent varied by tracing method. 

SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 1993/03 Baccalaureate and Beyond 

Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03). 

Pre-data-collection tracing continued with a mailout to the 10,400 eligible sample 

members. By mailing prenotification materials to the best known address for a sample member, 

more recent information could be obtained from forwarding orders provided by the U.S. Postal 

Service. In addition, as part of the mailing, sample members were asked to provide an address 

update either on the study website or on an address update sheet returned to project staff in a 

self-addressed, postage paid envelope. Overall, 18 percent of sample members provided updates 

(table 9). 

Table 9 shows the contact and interview rates for those who provided an address update 

by the mode used to provide the update. Self-reported address updates virtually assured 

contacting and interviewing the sample member. Almost all of those who updated their contact 

information were subsequently located (99 percent) and interviewed (95 percent). Although the 

study website could receive address information electronically, almost twice as many updates 

were received via conventional mail.

Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03). 

3.2.2 Tracing During Data Collection 

During data collection, if all leads for a sample member were exhausted before the 

individual was located, interviewers could opt to send the case for Fast Data batch processing. 

Fast Data conducts a series of database searches on existing address information available for a 

case. A total of 2,960 cases were sent to Fast Data, 67 percent of which were returned with new 

information or a verification of existing information. Of those cases returned, 84 percent were 

located and 76 percent were interviewed. 

3.2.3 Intensive Tracing 

If a case could not be located through Fast Data, it was sent for intensive tracing 

conducted by RTI’s TOPS unit. Because their tracing information was assumed to be too 

outdated to be useful, intensive tracing on all B&B:93/97 field test nonrespondents selected to 

participate in the B&B:93/03 interview occurred prior to the start of data collection. A number 

of locating sources were used during intensive tracing, including consumer databases, directory 

assistance, and internet sources. 

Table 10 provides the results of the TOPS intensive tracing efforts; locating and 

interviewing rates for sample members not requiring TOPS tracing are provided for comparison. 

Each phase of TOPS tracing allowed for more in-depth tracing efforts. As shown in table 10, of 

the 2,610 cases traced using TOPS1 procedures, 84 percent were located, with 75 percent 

interviewed. The most comprehensive stage of locating activities, TOPS2, was used only when 

all previous tracing efforts failed and the sample member was not sent for field interviewing 

(only cases located in one of the 30 geographic clusters identified for CAPI were sent to the 

field). Of the TOPS2 cases, 57 percent could be located, with 51 percent interviewed. Clearly, 

compared with TOPS1 cases, TOPS2 cases were more difficult to locate (z = 9.1; p < 0.01) and, 

once located, more difficult to interview (z = 6.6; p < 0.01). 

Sample members who were not B&B:93/97 respondents tended to be difficult to locate 

even after TOPS1 and TOPS2 tracing activities were completed. Of the B&B:93/97 

nonrespondents sent for TOPS1, only 52 percent were located and 37 percent interviewed. Of 

the cases sent for TOPS2, only 40 percent were located and 36 percent interviewed.

Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03). 

3.3 Early Response Incentive 

As discussed above, only the web-based, self-administered interview was available at the 

start of data collection. Sample members were given 3 weeks to complete the interview 

themselves, and those who did complete during the first 3 weeks of data collection were paid a 

$20 incentive. Of the 3,420 respondents who completed a self-administered interview, 

47 percent completed it during this 3-week period. An additional 2 percent of respondents began 

the interview on the Web, but completed it in CATI or with a field interviewer (and, therefore, 

are counted as either a CATI or CAPI complete rather than as a web complete) during the 3-

week period. 

3.4 Refusal Conversion Efforts 

Refusal conversion procedures were used to gain cooperation from individuals who 

refused to participate in the interview. When a refusal was first encountered, either because the 

sample member refused or because a “gatekeeper” refused on behalf of the sample member, the 

case was referred to a refusal conversion specialist. Refusal conversion specialists were selected 

from among those interviewers most skilled at obtaining cooperation and were given training in 

refusal conversion techniques tailored to the B&B:93/03 interview. The training emphasized 

how to gain cooperation, overcome objections, address the concerns of gatekeepers, and 

encourage participation. 

Of the 10,400 sample members, 10 percent were referred to refusal conversion 

specialists. Among those, 49 percent were successfully converted, i.e., the interview was 

completed. Most of the converted interviews (60 percent) were completed by telephone, with 

39 percent completed by Web and only 1 percent completed by field interviewers. 

Table 11 provides a breakdown of refusal conversion rates by prior response status. Not 

surprisingly, B&B:93/97 respondents were less likely to refuse to participate in the B&B:93/03 

interview than were nonrespondents (z = -5.2; p < 0.01). In addition, conversion rates were 

higher among B&B:93/97 respondents than among nonrespondents. Of the B&B:93/97 

respondents who refused to participate in the B&B:93/03 interview, 51 percent were eventually 

completed. Of the B&B:93/97 nonrespondents who refused, only 32 percent completed the 

interview. Participation in prior B&B:93 cohort interviews tended to increase the likelihood of 

agreeing to be interviewed for B&B:93/03 (z = 2.01; p < 0.05).

3.5 Nonresponse Incentive 

In addition to the early response incentive described above, an incentive was used later in 

the B&B:93/03 data collection process to reduce nonresponse among four groups: those who 

initially refused to participate in the study, those who were difficult to reach by telephone, those 

who could not be located but for whom a contact person could be reached, and those who started 

the web interview but did not complete it. Sample members in the four groups were sent a 

personalized letter with instructions for completing the interview either by Web or by calling the 

study’s toll-free telephone number. The letter also indicated that respondents would receive a 

$20 personalized check for completing the B&B:93/03 interview. 

Table 12 presents the contact and interview rates for the nonrespondent groups. About 

half of the B&B:93/03 sample (50 percent) was eligible for a nonresponse incentive at some 

point during data collection, once the early response incentive period ended. Of those, 85 

percent were eventually located and 55 percent interviewed. Almost all (93 percent) refusal 

cases were located (the remaining 7 percent of cases became refusals because of gatekeeper 

refusals), with a 55 percent conversion rate once the incentive was offered. Those respondents 

whose cases were designated as “unable to locate” were difficult to reach to offer the incentive; 

73 percent of those originally classified as unlocatable were eventually located by an 

interviewer; and, once located, 9 percent were interviewed.

3.6 Interview Burden 

The time burden associated with completion of the B&B:93/03 interview was calculated 

separately for each mode of data collection: self-administered, CATI, and CAPI. For the 

purposes of this analysis, however, CATI and CAPI timing data have been combined. 

Figure 4 provides a visual representation of how the on-screen and transit times were 

determined. Two time stamp variables were associated with each interview question. The first, 

the start timer, was set to the clock time on the respondent’s or interviewer’s computer at the 

time that a particular web page was displayed on the screen. The second time stamp variable, the 

end timer, was set to the clock time on the respondent’s or interviewer’s computer at the moment 

the respondent or interviewer clicked the “Continue” button to submit the answers from that 

page. 

From the two time stamp variables, an on-screen time and transit time were calculated. 

The on-screen time was calculated by subtracting the start time from the end time for each web 

page that the respondent received. The transit time was calculated by subtracting the end time of 

the preceding page from the start time of the current page; it includes the time required for the 

previous page’s data to be transmitted to the server, for the server to store the data and assemble 

and serve the current page, and for the current page to be transmitted to and loaded on the 

respondent’s or interviewer’s computer. 

A total on-screen time was then calculated for all respondents by summing the on-screen 

times for each web page that the respondent received. For each respondent, a total transit time

was calculated by summing all the transit times. The total on-screen and total transit times were 

then summed to determine the total instrument time. 

Table 13 presents the timing results (in minutes; combining on-screen and transition 

times) for the entire interview and by interview section, for all respondents who completed the 

entire interview.7

 It also presents timing results when the interview is self-administered and 

when the interview is interviewer-administered (combining CATI and CAPI results). Sections 

are listed in the table in the order in which they were presented during the interview. Overall 

average time to complete the interview was just under 35 minutes, summing both on-screen and 

transit time. 

The longest section in the interview was the employment section, which took an average 

of 11.6 minutes to complete. Employment questions focused primarily on two jobs—the job 

held in February and the job held at the time of the interview, if different. For those who earned 

a graduate degree since the last interview, a third set of questions was asked about the first job 

after degree completion (again, if different from the current job). For those unemployed at least 

once since the last interview, questions were asked about the duration, reasons, and specific dates 

for each spell of unemployment. Consequently, time in the employment section was higher for 

those with multiple jobs or multiple bouts of unemployment, or both.

The education section averaged 8.0 minutes to complete. Because the education section 

collected all education experiences, many respondents were required to answer sets of questions 

about enrollment in formal education programs as well as in personal enrichment and 

employment training courses. Those who enrolled in multiple graduate, undergraduate, and/or 

certificate programs looped through item sets for each program attended. 

The third section of the interview focused on questions for those who entered the teacher 

pipeline upon completion of the bachelor’s degree in the 1992–93 school year, and any new 

entrants to the pipeline since 1992. Those respondents who had not taught and who had no 

interest in or plans for teaching were skipped out of the teacher section entirely, after they 

answered the initial gate questions. Overall, average time in the teacher section was 3.1 minutes. 

However, the average time for this section for respondents in the teacher pipeline was 10.8 

minutes and was only 1.0 minute for non-teachers. The background section, which collected 

information on family status, citizenship, political activities, volunteerism, and disability status 

averaged only 3.9 minutes to administer. The last section, on finance, was modified after the 

B&B:93/03 field test to include sets of yes/no questions rather than questions asking for specific 

dollar values for assets and debts. As a result, average time in the finance section decreased 

from 10.3 to 5.3 minutes. 

Table 13 also compares average times to complete the total interview and the individual 

interview sections when the interview is self-administered or interviewer-administered 

(CATI/CAPI). There was no difference detected in the total completion time by mode of 

administration. Self-administered interviews averaged 34.4 minutes, and telephone interviews 

averaged 34.8 minutes to complete (t = -1.48; p < 0.1387).

NOTE: Outliers were excluded from this analysis. Outliers were identified separately for each section and for the total 

interview, therefore, individual section times do not sum to the total interview times. An outlier was defined as any case 

whose completion time exceeded two standard deviations above or below the average time for a given section. Interview 

times are presented only for completed interviews (partial interviews were excluded.)

 35 

Although there was no difference by mode in the total interview completion time, there 

were differences within the sections. Outliers were defined separately for the total interview and 

for each individual section because of the nature of the self-administered interview. First, 

respondents were able to break off and resume the interview as was convenient for them. 

Second, the web-based interview automatically logged off after a predefined period of inactivity 

for security purposes. For these reasons, it would be possible for a self-administered respondent 

to have been identified as an outlier in one or more of the sections but not for the overall 

interview, or vice versa. Because the outliers were potentially different within the sections and 

for the total time, it is possible to see significant differences in section times but not for the total 

interview time. 

More specifically, interviewer-administered interviews took significantly longer than 

self-administered interviews for all sections. For the education section, interviewer-administered 

respondents took 8.3 minutes compared with 7.6 minutes for self-administered respondents (t = -

7.19; p < 0.001). The difference in total times for the employment section was small but 

significant (11.7 minutes for interviewer-administered and 11.4 minutes for self-administered; t

= -3.90; p < 0.001). Observed differences by mode were larger for teachers. Respondents in the 

teacher pipeline who completed the interviewer-administered survey took 11.1 minutes, and selfadministered teachers took 10.3 minutes (t = -2.99; p < 0.05). For non-teachers, however, the 

difference by mode was very small (1.03 minutes for interviewer-administered and 1.00 minutes 

for self-administered; t = -2.28; p < 0.05). In the background section, interviewer-administered 

respondents took 4.1 minutes compared with 3.8 minutes for interviewer-administered 

respondents (t = -9.76; p < 0.001). The finances section took 5.5 minutes for intervieweradministered respondents and 4.9 minutes for self-administered respondents (t = -13.39; p < 

0.001). 

It is likely that interviewer-administered respondents took slightly longer to complete the 

interview sections because respondents and interviewers were engaged in a conversation, and 

respondents had to wait for interviewers to read the entire question and response options 

(depending on the nature of the screen and the interviewer instructions8

). Self-administered 

respondents, however, could read and respond to interview questions more quickly because they 

were able to read the entire screen at once. 

Table 14 shows the total interview time broken into its components: time on-screen and 

time in transit. CAPI respondents have been excluded from this analysis since the CAPI was 

housed locally on each interviewer’s laptop, which made transit times virtually instantaneous. 

Overall, self-administered respondents had a greater average total transit time (10.0 minutes) 

than did CATI respondents (5.7 minutes; t = 34.7; p < 0.0001). 

However, when transit time is removed from the total interview time, average on-screen 

time for self-administered respondents (24.4 minutes) is actually significantly less than for CATI 

respondents (29.1 minutes; t = –23.05; p < 0.0001). At the end of the survey, a short debriefing 

section asked questions about users’ experiences in completing the web survey. As part of the 

 

8

 To minimize mode differences and ensure that all respondents were exposed to the same information, interviewer 

instructions were included on every form of the questionnaire for CATI and CAPI interviews. These instructions 

indicated to interviewers how to handle response options (e.g., whether the response options should be read aloud 

or not). 
Chapter 3: Data Collection Outcomes 

 36 

debriefing section, self-administered respondents were asked which type of internet connection 

they used to access the survey. Table 15 presents the average total interview times and transit 

times by type of internet connection, as well as the percent of total interview time accounted for 

by transit time. 

About 20 percent of self-administered respondents completed with a dial-up connection 

via modem, and about 35 percent of self-administered respondents completed the survey with a 

fast connection (including cable modem, DSL, ISDN, LAN, etc.) Dial-up modem users took 

longer to complete the total interview (41.0 minutes; t = 24.6; p < 0.0001) and had longer transit 

times (16.1 minutes; t = 46.6; p < 0.0001) than did users with a fast connection (30.0 minutes to 

complete the interview and 6.3 minutes for transit time). Likewise, the percent of the total 

interview time taken by transit was longer for dial-up users than for users with a fast connection 

(39 percent compared with 21 percent, respectively; z = 10.1; p < 0.01).

3.7 Staff Burden and Effort 

3.7.1 Help Desk 

To better understand the issues encountered by sample members attempting the web 

interview, a software program was created to document each Help Desk incident that occurred 

during the field test. For each incident, Help Desk staff confirmed contact information for the 

respondent and recorded the respondent’s Study ID, a description of the problem and resolution, 

its status (pending or resolved), and the approximate time it took to assist the caller. 

Help Desk staff were trained both to work the Help Desk hotline and to conduct 

telephone interviews when needed. Help Desk operators also responded to e-mail messages sent 

to the project e-mail account and to voice mail messages left by sample members when the Call 

Center was closed. Each of these types of contacts was entered into the Help Desk system and 

documented. Almost 10 percent of sample members called the Help Desk during data collection, 

most of whom (89 percent) only needed to contact the Help Desk one time. 

Table 16 provides detail on the types of incidents encountered for cases that required 

Help Desk assistance. The majority of incidents (56.4 percent) recorded by the Help Desk were 

from sample members requesting their Study ID or password, or both, with 9 percent of the calls 

asking about browser settings and computer problems. Program errors, reports of perceived 

logic problems, and reports of website unavailability together accounted for only 4 percent of 

Help Desk calls. Almost 20 percent of sample members called the Help Desk to complete the 

interview over the telephone. (Those attempting to complete the self-administered interview 

using a dial-up modem were encouraged to complete a telephone interview to minimize the time 

required to participate.) The remaining 9 percent of Help Desk calls were for other problems not 

otherwise classified.

3.7.2 Interviewer Hours and Number of Calls 

Telephone interviewing required over 15,440 telephone interviewer hours, exclusive of 

training, supervision, monitoring, administration, and quality circle meetings. The average time 

spent per completed interview was 3.09 hours. Since the average time to administer the 

interview was 35.3 minutes for CATI cases, the large majority of interviewer time was spent in 

other activities. The bulk of time was devoted to locating and contacting the sample member. 

Although a small percentage of noninterview time was required to bring up a case, review its 

history, and close the case (with the appropriate reschedule, comment, and disposition entry 

when completed), the bulk of time was devoted to locating and contacting the sample member. 

Table 17 shows the number of telephone calls made per case, overall, and by prior 

response status. About 252,350 telephone calls were made during data collection, excluding 

those made by field interviewers, with an average of 24.3 calls made per sample member. Those 

interviewed were called 20.6 times, on average, less than half the average number of calls made 

to those not interviewed (47.3) (t = 18.9; p < 0.0001). Sample members who were 

nonrespondents in 1997 were called an average of 32.3 times, compared with the average of 24 

calls to those who were respondents in 1997 (t = 3.7; p < 0.001).

Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03). 

Interview nonresponse is an increasing problem for CATI and CAPI studies, affecting the 

cost of data collection and the quality of the resulting data. Call screening devices, such as 

telephone answering machines, Caller ID, call-blocking, and privacy managers, help sample 

members avoid unwanted telephone calls, but they can also affect the representativeness of data, 

lower study response rates, and increase project costs by requiring additional call attempts and 

interviewer time. 

Of the 10,400 sample members, 70 percent had at least one answering machine event. 

An average of only 4.1 calls was required to obtain an interview in cases in which no answering 

machine was reached during the course of contacting the respondent, compared with 32.9 calls in 

cases in which an answering machine was reached at least once. The 30 percent of cases not 

reaching an answering machine required significantly fewer calls than those reaching an 

answering machine at least once (t = -58.3; p < 0.0001). In addition, cases with no answering 
Chapter 3: Data Collection Outcomes 

 39 

machine events had a much lower rate of ever refusing (2.9 percent) than did cases with one or 

more answering machine events (12.2 percent, χ2 = 222.2; p < 0.0001). 

3.8 Conclusion 

The B&B:93/03 data collection offered sample members a web, self-administered 

interview option for the first time, with about one-third of the sample completed the interview by 

Web. Despite the 6 years since the last contact with the cohort, tracing and locating efforts for 

B&B:93/03 were successful, with most of the sample located. Interviewing was successful once 

a sample member was located—over 92 percent of those located were interviewed. Use of 

incentives improved response rates when used early in data collection with web respondents and 

later in data collection with refusals and hard-to-reach cases. 

Comparison of interview times by mode showed that, while interviewer-administered 

interviews and self-administered interviews took about the same amount of time overall, there 

were significant differences in how that time was spent. Compared to self-administered 

interviews, interviewer-administered interviews required more on-screen time to read questions 

and record responses. In contrast, self-administered interviews required more time in transit than 

did interviewer-administered interviews, primarily due to slower modem connections. 

Throughout data collection, interviewers spent the majority of their time tracing and 

locating sample members. The prevalent use of answering machines made reaching B&B:93/03 

sample members difficult.

Evaluation of Data Quality 

The full-scale 1993/03 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03) used 

a web-based instrument that could be either self-administered by sample members or 

administered to sample members by an interviewer. As part of data collection, a number of 

evaluations to assess the quality of the data collected by the B&B:93/03 instrument were 

designed. These evaluations were conducted in three major areas, each of which can impact data 

quality: the usability of the instrument, the effectiveness of the instrument as a multimode 

interview, and the effectiveness of the data collection design. The results of each evaluation are 

presented separately below. 

4.1 Usability of the Instrument 

Developing a functional web survey for B&B:93/03 meant developing a usable 

application. “Usability” refers to the ease with which users can work with an application to 

easily and quickly attain their objectives. In the context of the B&B:93/03 field test interview, 

users were defined as the sample members, and their objective was to complete the survey 

without undue burden. To the extent that the web survey is not “user friendly,” data quality 

could be adversely affected, resulting in lower response rates and higher break-off rates. During 

the B&B:93/03 field test, several steps were taken to ensure usability of the field test instrument, 

including usability testing, evaluating two types of on-screen motivators, and development of 

effective on-screen help text and coding systems. Evaluating usability across modes, when 

appropriate, further ensured that usability was maintained for both types of users, that is, for both 

sample members and interviewers. Based on findings from the field test, design changes were 

implemented prior to the start of full-scale data collection (Wine et al. 2004). 

4.1.1 Help Text 

Help text was available for every web screen of the B&B:93/03 instrument. Help text 

screens displayed instructions on how to enter responses, the type of information requested, and 

definitions of words or phrases within an item. In addition, there were general help screens 

available that provided information on the type of internet browser to use and how to answer the 

survey questions (i.e., how to use a check box, drop-down box, or radio button). On every help 

text screen, a toll-free number to the B&B:93/03 Help Desk was provided. Counters were 

used to determine the number of times that each help screen was accessed. Items with high rates 

(in excess of 10 percent) of help text access indicated that web respondents or computer-assisted 

telephone interviewing (CATI)/computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) interviewers 

needed additional information about the question before giving a valid response. 

For most screens in the B&B:93/03 interview, help text usage rates were consistently 

under 1 percent. Only one item, GRAID1 (Which of the following types of financial aid have 

you received to help cover educational expenses for your [fill degree type]?), showed a help text 

access rate in excess of 10 percent. For this item, a lengthy list of options, from student loans to 

personal loans and tuition waivers, was provided, and respondents were to select all options that 
Chapter 4: Evaluation of Data Quality 

 42 

applied. The item was administered to only the 260 respondents to whom it applied, and 

55 percent of the total help text hits for this screen were made by web respondents. 

4.1.2 Coding Systems 

The B&B:93/03 web instrument included tools that allowed online coding of literal 

responses for occupation, industry, major/field of study, and area of licensure or certification. 

When self-administered by B&B sample members, help text and limited supporting text on 

screen are available to assist with online coding. When administered as a telephone or in-person 

interview, interviewers can take advantage of the availability of the respondent to clarify coding 

choices at the time the coding was performed, thereby improving data quality. Interviewers use 

probing techniques to facilitate the online coding process. 

Throughout data collection, coding experts examined samples of each set of coding 

results for completeness and for the correctness of codes selected by respondents (selfadministered interviews) and interviewers (CATI and CAPI interviews). These expert coders 

determined whether the selected code was the appropriate code, whether a different code should 

have been assigned, or whether a string was too vague to be evaluated for recode. For the fullscale data collection, up to 50 percent of all codes were selected for evaluation. Verbatim strings 

and codes were provided to coders as a single data file, irrespective of the mode of data 

collection (self or interviewer-administered interview). 

Table 18 shows the results of the recode analysis for each coding system. Overall, almost 

73 percent of the original codes were appropriate given the verbatim string provided by 

respondents. About 4 percent of the strings were determined to be too vague to evaluate. 

Major/field of study had the lowest rate of correct codes at 63 percent (χ

2

 = 15.5; p < 0.01).

A comparison of recode results by mode of data collection is presented in table 19. In 

general, interviewers tended to do somewhat better than sample members in selecting the correct 

code. Overall, the original codes assigned by interviewers were considered correct by expert 

coders (75 percent) more often than were codes selected by self-administered respondents 

(68 percent; χ

correct were higher for interviewer-provided responses for the occupation (χ

and industry (χ

4.2 Effectiveness of the Instrument 

During the B&B:93/03 full-scale data collection, data quality was evaluated, in part, by 

the effectiveness of the web-based instrument in collecting the desired data. Evaluations of rates 

of indeterminate responses and of incomplete interviews (break-offs) assessed the completeness 

of the data collected, and a reliability reinterview assessed the temporal stability. The results of 

each of these evaluations are presented below. 

4.2.1 Indeterminate Responses 

An important measure of data quality is the rate of item-level nonresponse. Achieving 

low rates of item-level nonresponse is particularly important when surveys offer a selfadministered component since interviewers are not present to persuade respondents to provide a 

definitive response. In the B&B:93/03 field test instrument, “don’t know” and “refuse to 

answer” were provided as response options for every item. Results of the field test showed that 

having these explicit options may have encouraged nonresponse. Self-administered respondents 

were twice as likely to provide an indeterminate response as were their CATI/CAPI counterparts 

(Wine et al. 2004). 

To minimize item-level nonresponse, several changes were made to the full-scale 

instrument. First, the “don’t know” and “refuse” options were removed from the screen entirely. 

Instead, respondents could use the “continue” button to proceed without answering if an answer 

was unknown or they refused to answer a particular item. Second, if respondents continued 

through three consecutive items without providing a response, a generic pop-up box was 

presented to remind them of the importance of their continued participation in the interview. The 

pop-up box is presented in figure 5. 
Chapter 4: Evaluation of Data Quality 

 44 

Figure 5. Pop-up box presented when respondents failed to respond to three consecutive 

questions in the B&B:93/03 full-scale interview 

SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 1993/03 Baccalaureate and 

Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03). 

Another change in the full-scale interview required identifying several items as providing 

key information for the final follow-up. For these items, tailored text was prepared describing 

why a particular item was important to the study. If one of the key items was not answered, it 

was displayed again with special text included to encourage respondents to provide an answer. 

This conversion text provided respondents more specific information on why the question being 

asked was of particular importance to the success of the B&B:93/03. 

With the presentation of the conversion text, a “don’t know” option was added to the 

choices of response options. For the four key items on income, the conversion text was 

presented but, rather than providing a specific dollar value, respondents selected from among 

several categorical income ranges, and the “don’t know” option. A sample of one of the items 

with conversion text is shown in figure 6. Once presented with the conversion text, respondents 

could select one of the original response options, choose the “don’t know” option, or continue 

without providing a response. The effectiveness of this approach to converting indeterminate 

responses is discussed below. 

The last modification to the full-scale interview was to change the nature of the 

information requested for particularly sensitive items that had high rates of missing data in the 

field test. For example, in the field test interview, respondents were asked to provide specific 

dollar amounts for any assets they held at the time of the interview. In the full-scale interview, 

respondents were asked more general questions about the types of savings vehicles they used. 

The new format decreased the rate of nonresponse for these sensitive items. 
Chapter 4: Evaluation of Data Quality

SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 1993/03 Baccalaureate and 

Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03). 

Together, the strategies implemented for the full-scale interview served to reduce itemlevel indeterminacy over the field test. Only the 20 full-scale items (3 percent of the total 

number of items in the interview) shown in table 20 had missing data at a rate of 10 percent or 

higher. It is worth noting that there was no difference in the overall rate of missing data when 

the interview was self-administered (2 percent) and when it was interviewer-administered 

(2 percent; z = 0.19; p > 0.10). 

For the full-scale interview, none of the items in the education section had item 

nonresponse at 10 percent or higher. In the employment section, only the item that asked if the 

respondent was looking for work while he/she was not working in February had 12 percent 

nonresponse. Web respondents were less likely to provide an indeterminate response (7 percent) 

than were CATI/CAPI respondents (20 percent, χ

2

 = 15.0; p < 0.0001). 

In the teaching section, teachers were asked about the dates they began and ended 

teaching jobs held since 1997 and about the schools in which they taught during the 6 years 

elapsed between 1997 and 2003. Up to 16 percent of teachers asked could not provide 

information on the school that employed them prior to their current school. However, since the 

questions required recall of dates and other details, the observed nonresponse was likely the 

result of not knowing an answer rather than refusing to provide an answer. Twelve percent of 

teachers did not provide a response for the item asking for the primary reason they left teaching. 

No differences were observed in the rates of indeterminacy by mode for the items in the teacher 

section.

Because nearly 25 percent of the field test finance questions resulted in rates of 

indeterminacy of 10 percent or more, many of the items were revised prior to the full-scale data 

collection to be less sensitive. As a result, only three items in the finance section for the fullscale interview had an indeterminacy rate of 10 percent or more. These items asked about 

education loan repayment, including the year the respondent’s education loans were repaid, the 

amount of education loans owed by the spouse, and the year in which the spouse’s loans were 

repaid. Spouse’s total loan amount had an indeterminacy rate of 12 percent. Web respondents 

(15 percent) were more likely than CATI respondents to provide an indeterminate response for 

this item (9 percent, χ

2

 = 42.5; p < 0.001). Items related to the year of loan repayment for both 

the respondent and spouse had high rates of missing data at 10 percent and 16 percent, 

respectively. Web respondents were more likely to provide an indeterminate response (21 

percent) for the year of spouse’s loan repayment than CATI/CAPI respondents (8 percent, χ

2

 = 

36.6; p < 0.0001). 
Chapter 4: Evaluation of Data Quality 

 47 

As shown in table 20, only one item in the background section, which asked respondents 

who had previously indicated having a disability to report their disabling condition, had an 

indeterminacy rate of at least 10 percent. In fact, the rate of nonresponse (31 percent) was quite 

high, perhaps due to the sensitivity of the question. No mode differences were observed in the 

rates of indeterminacy for this item. 

Table 21 presents the results of offering conversion text for 20 key items in the full-scale 

interview. For each item targeted, the number reaching the text is shown, together with the 

number and percentage providing a definitive response (i.e., either selecting a response option or 

choosing “don’t know”). Also shown is the number and percentage who continued through the 

item without providing a response, effectively refusing to respond. The conversion text 

successfully converted responses from missing for 18 of the 20 items targeted. The item with the 

lowest conversion rate at 33 percent—currently looking for work—had only three 

nonrespondents. After reading the conversion text, 52 percent of respondents who initially did 

not provide a response to the monthly rent or mortgage payment item ended up providing a 

response (either definitive or don’t know).

Responses could have been converted to one of the provided response options or to a 

“don’t know” response. As shown in table 22, the percentage of respondents providing an 

explicit response (i.e., a response other than “don’t know” for an item) ranged from 0 percent to 

100 percent. Even for those income items considered most sensitive, response conversion was 

high.

4.2.2 Break-offs 

Of the 8,970 interviews conducted during the full-scale B&B:93/03, only 1 percent were 

partial interviews (i.e., broken off before the end of the interview). To be considered a partial 

interview rather than a nonresponse, a respondent had to answer questions at least through the 

end of the first section, education. Slightly more than half of the break-offs (53 percent) 

occurred at some point in the employment section. There was not a particular point within a 

section at which the majority of break-offs occurred. In the teaching section, about one-third 

(30 percent) of the break-offs occurred at the first question. No other pattern of interview breakoff was observed.

4.2.3 Reliability of Responses 

As they completed the main B&B:93/03 interview, a subsample of 500 respondents was 

selected at random to complete a reinterview designed to assess the temporal stability of selected 

interview items. The reinterview sample was evenly divided by mode of response with 250 selfadministered respondents and 250 telephone interview respondents chosen. Preloaded 

information and gate questions from the initial interview were preloaded for the reinterview to 

ensure that questions were asked in the same way and with the same wording across the two 

interviews. Reinterviews were conducted in the same mode as the initial interview, about 3 

weeks following its completion. By the end of data collection, 36 percent of the selfadministered respondents and 75 percent of the telephone interview respondents completed the 

interview. 

Responses in the initial interview and the reinterview were compared to determine the 

percentage of reinterview responses that matched the original responses from the main interview. 

For categorical data, agreement required an exact match of interview and reinterview responses. 

For continuous data, responses were considered to agree when reinterview values were within 

one standard deviation of the main interview values. The results of the reliability reinterview 

analysis are presented in table 23 by interview section. Overall, percent agreement rates for the 

full-scale interview, which ranged from 71 to 97 percent, showed marked improvement over 

agreement rates achieved during the field test reinterview, which ranged from 55 to 91 percent. 

Twelve items from the education section were included in the reinterview. Reliability for 

these items was good, with percent agreement rates ranging from 73 to 93 percent. The first set 

of questions asked about aspects of the respondent’s undergraduate education that he/she 

considers very important to his/her life now. Generally, these questions had moderate percent 

agreement rates (between 73 and 79 percent). One item, selected if none of the listed aspects 

were important, had a high percent agreement rate (90 percent). 

A second set of education items asked respondents to select those aspects of their life 

now for which they believe their undergraduate education was very important preparation. The 

pattern of reliability results was consistent with those of the previous set of education items, with 

percent agreement rates ranging from 74 to 93 percent. Again, the “none of the above” item had 

a high percentage of agreement (93 percent). The other two items in this section, both related to 

professional certification, provided reliability results with percent agreement of 77 and 

83 percent. 

Like education, percent agreement rates calculated for the employment section were 

fairly strong overall. Five questions asking respondents to rate which factors were very 

important to their current/most recent employment, like similar items in the education section, 

showed the greatest range in agreement rates (71 percent to 97 percent). The question asking 

respondents to confirm employment in February of 2003 had high agreement from initial 

interview to reinterview (95 percent). Of the mismatches in response between interviews, 

4.4 percent resulted from respondents changing a “no” response to “no-for a specific reason” 

response, or the converse. 
Chapter 4: Evaluation of Data Quality 

 50 

Eight questions from the finance section were included in the reinterview. As discussed 

above in the section on indeterminate responses, these items were redesigned after the field test 

data collection to be less sensitive with the goal of improving item-level response rates. 

Agreement for these items ranged from 77 to 92 percent.

As part of the reinterview analysis, percent agreement rates for self-administered and 

telephone interview respondents were compared to determine the extent of difference in rates 

due to mode of interview completion. Two items in the reinterview—value of undergraduate 

internship and other work experience and importance of undergraduate education to current 

employment—showed statistically significant differences by mode. The first item, on 

internships and other work, had a statistically significant difference in the rate of agreement by 

mode (χ

2

 = 4.25; p < 0.05) such that self-administered responses showed higher percent 

agreement over time (81 percent) than did those who completed a telephone interview 

(71 percent). For the item rating the importance of undergraduate education, percent agreement 

was higher for those completing the telephone interview (80 percent) than for those who 

completed the self-administered interview (70 percent; χ

2

 = 4.33; p < 0.05). No other differences 

by mode were observed. 

In summary, percent agreement for items included in the reinterview was good overall, 

suggesting that responses were reliable over time. The somewhat mixed rates for reinterview 

items requiring respondents to indicate if something was “very important” were not surprising 

for two reasons. First, while reinterviews generally occurred as early as 3 weeks after the initial 

interview, many were actually conducted much later than that—up to 3 months later—due to 

delays locating respondents and gaining their continued cooperation. Respondents’ value ratings 

could have changed naturally in the time between the first and second interviews. In addition, 

since these items required respondents to define “very important” for themselves, this 

subjectivity may have introduced additional response variance between the initial interview and 

reinterview. 

4.3 Effectiveness of the Data Collection Design 

Effectiveness of the data collection design for the B&B:93/03 field test, the final measure 

of data quality, was measured through quality assurance monitoring and quality circle meetings. 

Results for both evaluations are presented below, along with a summary of quality circle 

meetings held throughout data collection. 

4.3.1 Quality assurance CATI monitoring 

Regular monitoring of telephone interviews leads to better interviewing and data quality 

as well as improvements in data collection costs and in the efficiency of the telephone facilities. 

To ensure that sufficient monitoring occurred for the full-scale B&B:93/03, monitoring sessions 

were conducted during day, evening, and weekend shifts. Monitors listened to and 

simultaneously viewed the progress of interviews using remote monitoring telephone and 

computer equipment. Monitors listened to up to 20 questions during an ongoing interview and, 

for each question, evaluated two aspects of interviewer performance: (1) correct delivery of 

questions (error in delivery) and (2) accurate keying of the response (error in data entry). 

Measures of question delivery and data entry were developed and daily, weekly, and 

cumulative reports produced. Monitoring took place throughout data collection, with a total of 

10,640 items monitored. During the final weeks of data collection, monitoring efforts were 

scaled back due to lighter caseloads. Among the 10,640 items observed, only 115 delivery errors 

and 66 data entry errors were observed. Error rates in delivery and data entry, by week of data 
Chapter 4: Evaluation of Data Quality 

 52 

collection are shown in figures 7 and 8, respectively. The relatively high error rates in the early 

weeks and in Week 11 of data collection can be attributed to the assignment of newly trained 

interviewers to the study. The spikes in the upper control limit are due to the low number of 

monitoring observations during that period.

4.3.2 Quality circle meetings 

Quality circle meetings provided an opportunity for B&B:93/03 interviewers to discuss 

data collection issues with project staff. Topics discussed during these meetings covered all 

aspects of data collection, including Help Desk, tracing and locating, and interviewing. 

Meetings were scheduled weekly during the day and evening shifts to ensure that all telephone 

interviewers had an opportunity to attend. Summaries of the discussions and decisions addressed 

during these meetings were compiled and distributed to all interviewers in the form of a 

newsletter. Issues covered in quality circle meetings included problem sheets, coding strategies, 

achieving gatekeeper cooperation, interview logic, and clarification of the intent of questions and 

help text.

Variable Construction and File Development 

As the fourth and final interview with the B&B:93 cohort, the data files for the 1993/03 

Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03) contain a number of component 

data files from a variety of sources in addition to those files created from the interview itself. 

These files are available as a set of restricted research files, fully documented by an electronic 

codebook (ECB), and as a public release Data Analysis System (DAS), which also contains full 

documentation.9 This chapter describes each data file and details the data editing and 

documentation process. 

5.1 Overview of the B&B:93/03 Data Files 

The B&B:93/03 data files contain student-level and institution-level data collected from 

student interviews and government financial aid databases. The primary analysis file, from 

which the study DASs were constructed, contains data for approximately 11,100 study 

respondents. The primary analysis file contains over 2,900 variables, developed from 

B&B:93/03 interview data and data from previous interviews with the B&B:93 cohort. 

Throughout the data collection period, data were processed and examined for quality control 

purposes. Editing of student data began shortly after the start of self-administered web data 

collection, when procedures and programs for this purpose were first developed. Anomalous 

values were investigated and resolved, where appropriate, through the use of data corrections and 

logical imputations. 

Complete data for B&B:93/03 are located on the restricted access files and are 

documented by the ECB. The restricted files and the ECB are available to researchers who have 

applied for and received authorization from NCES to access restricted research files. 

Authorization may be obtained by contacting the NCES Data Security Office. 

The restricted use B&B:93/03 ECB contains information about the following files: 

• 2003 Derived Variables File—Contains the composite (derived) variables developed 

for use on the B&B:93/03 public release DAS. [B03DAS.DAT] 

• 2003 Student Interview Data File—Provides student-level raw data collected from the 

9,000 sample members who responded to the B&B:93/03 interview. The file 

excludes any “verbatim” variables, which are on the Verbatim Data File described 

below. [B03STUD.DAT] 

• 2003 Postsecondary Institution Data File—Provides data obtained from the student 

interview on postsecondary institutions attended since the 1997 interview 

(B&B:93/97). Although this is a student-level file, a sample member may have more 

than one record in the file since there is a separate record for each postsecondary 

institution attended by the sample member. [B03SCH.DAT]

5.2 Data Coding and Editing 

The B&B:93/03 data were coded and edited using procedures developed and 

implemented for previous National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)-sponsored studies. 

The coding and editing procedures fell into two categories: online coding and editing performed 

during data collection, and post-data-collection data editing. 

5.2.1 Online Coding and Editing 

The B&B:93/03 follow-up study used one major system—a web instrument—for all data 

collection. The web instrument included online coding systems which categorized user-provided 

input into specific codes for major field of study, occupation, and industry. In addition, online 

coding systems were used to collect Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) 

information for all postsecondary institutions attended since the B&B:93/97 interview and 

elementary/secondary school information for all respondents who taught at the elementary and/or 

secondary level since the last interview. 

The web-based data collection system also included edit checks to ensure that the data 

collected were within valid ranges. To the extent feasible, this system incorporated across-item 

consistency edits. Whereas more extensive consistency checks would have been technically 

possible, use of such edits was limited to prevent excessive respondent burden. Below is a 

description of the online range and consistency checks incorporated into the B&B:93/03 web 

instrument. 

General Verifications 

• Range checks were applied to all numerical entries, such that only valid numeric 

responses could be entered. 

• If, in response to a “check all that apply” question, a valid answer and the “none of 

the above” option were both checked, respondents and interviewers were advised to 

uncheck other options before checking the “none of the above” option. 

• Pop-up messages confirmed responses which fell outside prespecified ranges for 

selected numeric values such as income and hours worked per week. 

• Consistency checks identified conflicting responses (e.g., if the beginning date for a 

job was later than the end date provided, or if the highest grade taught was lower than 

the lowest grade taught) and allowed respondents the opportunity to change answers 

as appropriate. 

5.2.2 Post-Data-Collection Editing 

Both during and upon completion of data collection, edit checks were performed on the 

B&B:93/03 data file to confirm that the intended skip patterns were implemented during the 
Chapter 5: Variable Construction and File Development 

 58 

interview. At the conclusion of data collection, special codes were added as needed to indicate 

the reason for missing data. Missing data within individual data elements can occur for a variety 

of reasons. Table 24 lists each missing value code and its associated meaning in the B&B:93/03 

interview. 

Table 24. Description of missing data codes: 2003 

Missing data code Description 

–1 Don’t know

–3 Not applicable

–6 Bad data, out of range

–7 Item was not reached (partial interviews)

–8 Item was not reached due to an error

–9 Data missing, reason unknown

SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 1993/03 Baccalaureate and 

Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03). 

Skip-pattern relationships in the database were examined by methodically running crosstabulations between gate items and their associated nested items. In many instances, gate-nest 

relationships had multiple levels within the instrument. That is, items nested within a gate 

question may themselves have been gate items for additional items (e.g., citizenship serves as a 

date for voter registration which serves as a gate for voting behavior items). Therefore, 

validating the gate-nest relationships often required much iteration and many multiway crosstabulations. 

The data editing process for the B&B:93/03 data involved a multistage process that 

consisted of the following steps: 

Step 1. Blank or missing data were replaced with -9 for all variables in the instrument 

database. A one-way frequency distribution of every variable was reviewed to 

confirm that no missing or blank values remained. These same one-way 

frequencies revealed any out-of-range or outlier values, which were 

investigated and checked for reasonableness against other data values. 

Example: hourly wages of $0.10, rather than $10.00. Creating SAS formats 

from expected values and the associated value labels also revealed any 

categorical outliers. 

Descriptive statistics were produced for all continuous variables. All values 

less than zero were temporarily recoded to missing. Minimum, median, 

maximum, and mean values were examined to assess reasonableness of 

responses and anomalous data patterns were investigated and corrected as 

necessary. 

Step 2. Legitimate skips were identified using the interview source code. Gate-nest 

relationships were defined to replace -9’s (missing for unknown reason) with 

-3’s (not applicable) as appropriate. Two-way cross-tabulations between each 

gate-nest combination were evaluated, and high numbers of nonreplaced -9 

codes were investigated to ensure skip-pattern integrity. 
Chapter 5: Variable Construction and File Development 

 59 

Nested values were further quality checked to reveal instances in which the 

legitimate skip code over-wrote valid data which typically occurred if a 

respondent answered a gate question and the appropriate nested item(s), but 

then backed up and changed the value of the gate, following an alternate path 

of nested item(s). Responses to the first nested item(s) remained in the 

database and, therefore, required editing. 

In cases where it could not be determined whether nested items had been 

legitimately skipped because the response to the gate item was indeterminate 

(either blank, -9, or don’t know, -1), the edit code replaced -9’s in nested items 

with the same value as the gate item. In this way, the value of the gate item 

was carried through to the nested items. 

Step 3. Variable formatting (e.g., formatting dates as YYYYMM) and standardization 

of time units, for items which collected amount of time in multiple units, were 

performed during this step. In addition, any new codes assigned by expert 

coders reviewing major field of study, occupation, industry, IPEDS, and 

elementary/secondary school codes first selected through the online coding 

systems were merged back with the interview data files. 

Also at this step, logical imputations were performed when the value of 

missing items could be determined from answers to previous questions or 

preloaded values. For example, if the respondent indicated that he/she had not 

worked since 1997, then the number of different jobs and the number of 

employers since 1997 were logically imputed to "0" rather than -3 or -9 even 

though the questions were skipped in the interview. 

Items skipped because preload data already contained a valid value were also 

imputed. For example, if undergraduate loan amount was available as a 

preload, that question was skipped. Undergraduate loan amount was imputed 

from prior interviews for these cases. 

Step 4. During the interview, postsecondary institutions were coded for all respondents 

who enrolled in a formal degree program since the last interview using the 

IPEDS database. For respondents who were teachers at the K-12 level, the 

elementary/secondary schools in which they taught were also coded using the 

CCD database on public elementary and secondary education and the PSS 

database. Following data collection, these files were merged by the school 

code to obtain additional information including level, control, district, county, 

etc. for delivery with the B&B:93/03 data. 

Step 5. At this step, special codes of -3 and -9 were replaced with -7 (item not 

administered) based on the section completion indicators. The -7 code allows 

analysts to easily distinguish items not administered from items that were 

either skipped or simply left blank. 
Chapter 5: Variable Construction and File Development 

 60 

Step 6. One-way frequency distributions for all categorical variables and descriptive 

statistics for all continuous variables were examined. Out-of-range or outlier 

values were either replaced with the value of -6 (bad data, out of range) or 

recoded to a more reasonable value. For example, if a respondent reported 

income of more than $500,000, that income value was set to $500,000, the 

maximum amount allowed for the item. 

Step 7. One-way frequencies on all categorical variables were regenerated and 

examined. Variables with high counts of -9 values were investigated. Because 

self-administered web respondents could skip over most items without 

providing an answer, -9’s did remain a valid value, especially for sensitive 

items, such as those asking for financial information. 

Concurrent with the data editing process, detailed documentation was developed to 

describe question text, response options, logical imputations, recoding, and the “applies to” text 

for each delivered variable. 

5.3 Composite and Derived Variable Construction 

Analytic variables were created by examining the data available for each student from the 

various sections of the survey instrument. In some cases, raw interview items were recoded or 

otherwise summarized to create derived variables. In other cases, information from two or more 

survey items was combined to create a third, composite variable. A listing of the set of analysis 

variables derived for B&B:93/03 appears in appendix F. Specific details regarding the creation 

of each variable appear in the variable descriptions contained in the ECB and DAS.

Weighting, Variance Estimation, and Imputation 

Methodology 

Development of statistical analysis weights for the 1993/03 Baccalaureate and Beyond 

Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03) sample is discussed in section 6.1 below. Cross-sectional 

weights were constructed for analyzing the 8,970 respondents to B&B:93/03. In addition, a 

panel (longitudinal) weight was constructed for analyzing the 8,090 students who responded to 

all four surveys: B&B:93/03, B&B:93/97, B&B:93/94, and 1992–93 National Postsecondary 

Student Aid Study (NPSAS:93). 

Analysis procedures that can be used to produce design-unbiased estimates of sampling 

variances are discussed in section 6.2, including variances computed using Taylor series and 

balanced repeated replications (BRR) techniques. Section 6.2 also describes how the Taylor 

series strata and primary sampling unit (PSU) variables were constructed, and how the BRR 

weights were constructed. 

Section 6.3 discusses the accuracy of B&B:93/03 estimates in terms of both precision and 

the potential for nonresponse bias. Survey design effect tables that illustrate the level of 

precision achieved by the B&B:93/03 survey for key analytic outcomes for several important 

analysis domains are included in appendix G. 

Finally, section 6.4 gives the weighted response rates and an analysis of item 

nonresponse bias.

6.1 Analysis Weights 

The initial file used for the B&B:93/03 sample frame contained 11,200 students. Of 

these, 

• 10,090 were B&B:93/97 respondents; 

• 1,070 were B&B:93/97 nonrespondents; and 

• 10 were identified as deceased during the B&B:93/03 advance tracing death search. 

With deceased cases excluded, a total of 11,150 students were determined to be eligible 

for B&B:93/03. As noted in chapter 2, the final B&B:93/03 sample consisted of the 10,090 

eligible respondents to B&B:93/97 and a subsample of 360 of the nonrespondents to B&B:93/97, 

for a total of 10,440 sample members. During data collection for B&B:93/03, about 40 sample 

members were determined to be ineligible either because they were deceased or because they 

were determined to have not earned a baccalaureate degree during the NPSAS year (July 1, 1992 

through June 30,1993), leaving 10,400 eligible sample members. Of these 10,400, a total of 

8,970 responded to B&B:93/03. 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation 

 62 

A statistical analysis weight was computed to use for analyzing data from the 8,970 

eligible respondents11 to the B&B:93/03 survey. In addition, a panel weight was computed for 

analyzing the 8,390 respondents who participated in all four studies: B&B:93/03, B&B:93/97, 

B&B:93/94, and NPSAS:93. 

The weights for the B&B:93/03 respondents were constructed by applying a series of 

adjustments for subsampling and nonresponse to the B&B:93/94 base weight (BNBWT0). 

Specifically, four adjustments were made to account for 

• subsampling of the B&B:93/97 nonrespondents; 

• those not located; 

• refusals among those who were located; and 

• types of nonresponse other than refusals among those who were located and did not 

refuse.12

These last three adjustments are consistent with the procedures used to adjust weights for 

other longitudinal postsecondary studies (e.g., 1996/01 Beginning Postsecondary Student 

Longitudinal Study [BPS:96/01] and B&B:2000/01). 

Construction of the panel (or longitudinal) weight to be used for analyzing those who 

responded to all three surveys consisted of an additional adjustment for nonresponse for the 

B&B:93/03 respondents who did not respond to all three of the previous surveys. 

6.1.1 Base Weight for B&B:93/03—Adjustment for Subsampling of B&B:93/97 

As discussed in chapter 2, a subsample of 360 B&B:93/97 nonrespondents was included 

in B&B:93/03, rather than all nonrespondents, to reduce data collection costs. The subsample 

was selected using probability proportionate to size (PPS) sampling, with the size measure being 

the B&B:93/94 base weight (BNBWT0), after stratifying the B&B:93/97 nonrespondents by the 

B&B:93/03 advance tracing status, the control of the base-year school, and the B&B:93/94 

response status. The base weight was adjusted for those students, j, in the subsample by 

multiplying by the inverse of their selection probabilities. These probabilities take into account 

the stratification and PPS sampling that was used in selecting the subsample. The adjustment 

was 

ADJ1j = 1/πj, where πj is the selection probability. 

The weight was calculated as 

BB03_W1U = BNBWT0 * ADJ1, for students in the B&B:93/97 nonrespondent 

subsample 

 

11 As discussed, sample members ineligible for the B&B cohort were those determined to have not earned a 

baccalaureate degree during the NPSAS year (July 1, 1992 through June 30, 1993). 

12 Sample members determined to be ineligible during data collection were not included in the weight adjustments for 

those who were not located, refused, or did not participate for some other reason. However, ineligibles were included 

in the weight adjustment for subsampling. 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation 

 63 

 = BNBWT0 for all other students. 

The weights BB03_W1U for the students in the subsample were also adjusted so that 

they summed to the weight sum of B&B:93/97 for the B&B:93/97 nonrespondents within 

categories of the control of the base-year school. This adjustment resulted in the initial sampling 

weight for the B&B:93/03 sample, which is denoted BB03_W1. BB03_W1 was further adjusted 

to produce the B&B:93/03 analysis weights, as described below.

6.1.2 B&B:93/03 Cross-Sectional Weights 

Analysis weights were constructed for the 8,970 respondents to B&B:93/03. The weights 

were constructed by applying adjustments to the base weight BB03_W1. This section describes 

each of the adjustment steps and the variables used in making the adjustments. 

The adjustment for nonresponse was performed in three steps because the predictors of 

response propensity are potentially different for each of the following outcomes: 

• inability to locate the student; 

• refusal to be interviewed; and 

• other noninterview. 

Using these three steps of nonresponse adjustment can achieve greater reduction in 

nonresponse bias to the extent that different variables are significant predictors of nonresponse 

propensity at each step. Also, as noted earlier, this is consistent with the steps used in the 

construction of weights for other longitudinal postsecondary studies (e.g., BPS:96/01 and 

B&B:2000/01). 

All nonresponse adjustments were fitted using RTI’s proprietary generalized exponential 

modeling procedure (GEM) (Folsom and Singh 2000), which is similar to logistic modeling 

using bounds for adjustment factors. A key feature and advantage of the GEM software is that 

the nonresponse adjustment and weight trimming and smoothing are all accomplished in one 

step. Lower and upper bounds are set on the weight adjustment factors. The bounds can be 

varied, depending on whether the weight falls inside or outside a range, such as one defined by 

the bounds (median – 3 times the interquartile range, median + 3 times the interquartile range). 

This allows different bounds to be set for adjustments for weights that are considered high 

extreme, low extreme, or nonextreme. In this way, the extreme weights can be controlled and 

the design effect due to unequal weighting reduced. 

Candidate predictor variables were those thought to be predictive of nonresponse and 

nonmissing for most of the sample (nonrespondents as well as respondents). Candidate predictor 

variables for the B&B:93/03 weight adjustment included 

• age (categorical); 

• race/ethnicity; 

• gender; 

• citizenship status in the base year; 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation 

 64 

• attendance status in the base year; 

• control of institution attended in the base year; 

• region of institution attended in the base year; 

• size of institution attended in the base year (categorical); 

• 16-level B&B base-year institutional strata; 

• student type in base year (business major, nonbusiness major, other); 

• applied for financial aid in the base year (yes or no); 

• receipt of federal aid in the base year (yes or no); 

• receipt of Pell Grant in the base year (yes or no); 

• receipt of Stafford Loan in the base year (yes or no); 

• receipt of state aid in the base year (yes or no); 

• receipt of institutional aid in the base year (yes or no); 

• receipt of any aid in the base year (yes or no); 

• previous response status (whether the student was a respondent to either B&B:93/94 

and B&B:93/97 versus a nonrespondent to both B&B:93/94 and B&B:93/97); 

• income of independent students and parents of dependent students (collapsed); 

• number of telephone numbers available; 

• number of times an answering machine was encountered (for located students); and 

• whether the student was located in a field cluster. 

To detect important interactions for the logistic models, a Chi-squared automatic 

interaction detection analysis (CHAID) was performed on the predictor variables. The CHAID 

analysis divided the data into segments that differed with respect to the response variable 

(located, did not refuse, or respondent, depending on the model). The segmentation process first 

divided the sample into groups based on categories of the most significant predictor of response. 

It then split each of these groups into smaller subgroups based on other predictor variables. It 

also merged categories of a variable that are found to be nonsignificant. This splitting and 

merging process continued until no more statistically significant predictors were found (or until 

some other stopping rule was met). The interactions from the final CHAID segments were then 

defined. 

The nonresponse bias for these same variables was estimated, and then a statistical test of 

whether or not the bias was significant was performed. Tests were performed to identify 

significant differences between refusal conversions and other respondents; significant differences 

suggest a potential for nonresponse bias because of the refusal population being different from 

the other respondents. Additional tests were performed to detect significant differences between 

late respondents and other respondents; significant differences suggested a potential for 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation 

 65 

nonresponse bias because of the noncontacts/late-contact population being different from the 

other respondents. Details of the nonresponse bias analyses are given in section 6.3. 

The interaction segments and all the main effects were subjected to variable screening in 

the GEM logistic procedure. Variables with significant bias were included in each nonresponse 

model. The initial models for each adjustment step included all of the potentially important 

variables. The interaction segments identified by CHAID were also retained in all of the models. 

The most insignificant variables were deleted sequentially until the deletion of additional 

variables did not appreciably improve the unequal weighting effect (UWE). Different bounds on 

the weight adjustments, depending on whether the weight is classified as high extreme, 

nonextreme, or low extreme, were used to accomplish nonresponse adjustment, truncation, and 

smoothing in one step. The UWEs did not change very much when insignificant variables were 

dropped, and, as a result, a large number of predictor variables were retained in each of the 

nonresponse model adjustments. This allows the estimates to be calibrated based on the 

respondents to as many totals as possible that are known for both respondents and 

nonrespondents. 

6.1.2.1 Weight adjustment for nonrespondents who were not located 

Of the 10,400 individuals determined to be eligible, 9,730 were located. An adjustment 

was first performed to the weight BB03_W1 to adjust for the 670 eligible sample members who 

did not respond because they were not located. A CHAID analysis was performed on all of the 

predictor variables to detect important interactions. All potentially important variables were 

included in the model. There was very little change in the UWE when highly insignificant 

variables were deleted from the model, and, as a result, all variables were retained in the model. 

Table 25 presents the predictor variables used in the logistic model that adjusted the 

weights for those who were not located and gives the weighted location rate and the average 

weight adjustment factors resulting from these variables. The table includes all levels of the 

variables used in the model although, due to dependencies and small sample sizes, not all of the 

levels were used as predictors. For example, the private, not-for-profit and private, for-profit 

categories for institution control were included in the model, but the school enrollment category 

for private, for-profit institutions was not due to small cell sizes. Similarly, the public category 

for institution control was not included since it is a linear combination of the school enrollment 

categories for public institutions. 

The weighting adjustment factor for student j is the reciprocal of the predicted response 

probability, or 

ADJ2j = 1/ pL,j. 

The weight, adjusted for those who were not located, was computed as 

LOCWT = BB03_W1 * AJD2 for the 9,730 who were located 

 = 0 otherwise.

6.1.2.2 Weight adjustment for nonrespondents who refused 

Of the 9,730 who were eligible and located for the B&B:93/03 sample, 590 refused. An 

adjustment was performed to the weight, LOCWT, which had already been adjusted for those not 

located, to adjust for the 590 who refused. As in the case of the adjustment for the not located, a 

CHAID analysis was performed on all of the predictor variables to detect important interactions. 

All potentially important variables were included in the initial model. There was very little 

change in the UWE when highly nonsignificant variables were deleted from the model, and, as a 

result, all variables were retained in the model. 

Table 26 presents the predictor variables used in the logistic model that adjusted the 

weights for those who refused, and gives the weighted nonrefusal rate for those who were 

located and the average weight adjustment factors resulting from these variables. The weighting 

adjustment factor for student j is the reciprocal of the predicted response probability, or 

 ADJ3j = 1/pNref,j. 

The weight adjusted for those who refused was computed as 

 NREFWT = LOCWT * ADJ3 for the 9,140 who did not refuse 

 = 0 otherwise.

Due to small cell sizes, private, not-for-profit and private, for-profit institutions were combined. 

NOTE: Predictor variables are from base-year data (NPSAS:93) with the exceptions of citizenship (B&B:93/97), 

phone numbers available, times answering machine encountered, and whether in field cluster (B&B:93/03). Due to 

model dependencies and small sample sizes, not all levels of the variables were included in the model. The weight 

used is LOCWT. The denominator used for the rate is the weighted count of eligible, located sample members. 

SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 1993/03 Baccalaureate and 

Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/03). 

6.1.2.3 Weight adjustments for located nonrespondents who were not refusals 

Of the 9,140 who were eligible, located, and did not refuse, 8,970 completed the 

B&B:93/03 interview. The remaining 170 did not respond for a reason other than a refusal (e.g., 

sample members who were located but who screened out calls from interviewers and, therefore, 

could not be reached). An adjustment was made to NREFWT to adjust for these remaining 170 

students who did not respond for reasons other than refusal. As in the case of the other 

adjustments, a CHAID analysis was performed on all of the predictor variables to detect 

important interactions. All potentially important variables were included in the model. There 

was very little change in the unequal weighting effect when highly nonsignificant variables were 

deleted from the model, and as a result, all variables were retained in the model. 

Table 27 presents the final predictor variables used in the logistic model that adjusted the 

weights for those who were interviewed and gives the weighted interview rate for those who 

were located and did not refuse and the average weight adjustment factors resulting from these 

variables. The weighting adjustment factor for student, j, was the reciprocal of the predicted 

response probability, or 

ADJ4j = 1/pR,j 

and the weight was computed as 

BNBWT3U = NREFWT * ADJ4 for the 8,970 who responded, and 

= 0 otherwise. 

This final weight was rounded to the nearest integer and is denoted by BNBWT3. This weight is 

to be used for analyzing data collected during B&B:93/03.

6.1.3 Panel Weight 

A panel (or longitudinal) weight, BNBPANL3, was also constructed for analyzing the 

8,090 students who responded to all four studies:B&B:93/03, B&B93/97, B&B:93/94, and 

NPSAS:93. This weight was constructed by applying an additional nonresponse adjustment to 

the final B&B:93/03 cross-sectional weight (i.e., BNBWT3). 

As for the other models, CHAID was to be used to determine the interaction segments, 

and the GEM modeling procedure was used to determine the adjustment factor. Table 28 

presents the final predictor variables used in the logistic model that adjusted the weights for 

those who were not also interviewed in all three of NPSAS:93, B&B:93/94, and B&B:93/97, and 

gives the weighted interview rate for those who were interviewed in B&B:93/03 and the average 

weight adjustment factors resulting from these variables. The final weight was rounded to 

integer values.

6.2 Variance Estimation 

For probability-based sample surveys, most estimates are nonlinear statistics. For 

example, a mean or proportion is calculated as Εwy/Εw, which is nonlinear because the 

denominator is a survey estimate of the unknown population total. In this situation, the variances 

of the estimates cannot be expressed in closed form. Two common procedures for estimating the 

variances of nonlinear survey statistics are Taylor series linearization procedures and replication 

methods. The replication method used in B&B:93/03 is balanced repeated replication (BRR). 

BRR is used because of its superiority for the estimation of the variances of quantiles, such as 

medians. The subsections below discuss the Taylor series and BRR methods of variance 

estimation for B&B:93/03. 

6.2.1 Taylor Series 

The Taylor series variance estimation procedure is a well-known technique for estimating 

variances of nonlinear statistics. The procedure substitutes the first-order Taylor series 

approximation of the nonlinear statistic into the variance formula based on the sampling design. 

Woodruff (1971) presents the mathematical formulation of this procedure. For stratified, 

multistage sampling designs, the Taylor series procedure requires analysis strata and analysis 

replicates based on the first stage sampling design. Since the B&B:93/03 sample is a subsample 

of the B&B:93/97 eligibles, the B&B:93/03 Taylor series strata and PSUs were derived from the 

Taylor series strata and PSUs for the B&B:93/97 sample. 

The B&B:93/97 variance estimation strata and PSUs were defined as follows. Using the 

NPSAS:93 Taylor series strata and PSUs (where available), Taylor series strata (TAYSTRBB) 

and PSUs (TAYREPBB) were defined for the 11,160 B&B:93/97 eligible sample students. 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation 

 84 

Missing values were resolved using prior knowledge of how the variables were assigned for 

NPSAS:93 and other variables on the file. Once each sample student had non-missing Taylor 

series strata and PSUs, strata and PSUs were collapsed in order to get at least four respondents 

per PSU. This process resulted in variance estimation strata and PSUs for analyzing the 

B&B:93/97 data; these variables are named TAYSTR97 and TAYREP97. 

To define variance estimation strata and PSUs for B&B:93/03, these B&B:93/97 Taylor 

series and PSUs were collapsed in order to get at least four respondents per PSU. The same 

collapsing rules that were used to obtain the Taylor series strata and PSUs for the B&B:93/97 

respondents were used. 

The following summarizes the variable names for the weights, analysis strata, and 

analysis replicates on the B&B:93/03 data file for use with Taylor series variance estimation.

6.2.2 Balanced Repeated Replication 

BRR is one of two replication techniques commonly used to estimate the variances of 

survey statistics computed from complex sample surveys. (The other commonly used replication 

technique is the jackknife replication technique.) Wölter (1985) reviews both the Taylor series 

and replication techniques. 

The BRR method is designed for a survey with L primary sampling strata and two PSUs 

selected per stratum. A half-sample replicate is formed by selecting one PSU from each stratum. 

For any given sample, there are 2L

 such half-samples. If yst,α represents the estimate of the 

population mean calculated from the α-th replicate and yst represents the stratified mean from 

the full sample, then the mean of ( y - y )

2

st,α st over all 2L

 half samples is identical to the textbook 

stratified variance estimator. BRR is essentially a method for selecting a set of k “balanced” 

replicates where k is much smaller than 2L

 so that this same property holds for the set of k

replicates (see chapter 3 of Wölter 1985). The BRR variance estimate is then computed as

∑

BRR weights were computed for B&B:93/03 because of concern that the variances for 

medians and other quartiles may not be appropriate when computed using either Taylor series or 

jackknife methods. The Taylor series approach estimates the cumulative distribution function at 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation 

 85 

several points and then estimates variances for quartiles through inverse interpolation (see 

Francisco and Fuller 1991). Because these results depend on the points at which the cumulative 

distribution function and its variances are evaluated, they are subjective and require considerable 

care by the user. Likewise, jackknife methods are inconsistent for estimating the variances of 

nonsmooth functions, such as quartiles (see chapter 3 of Efron 1982); as the sample size 

increases, the estimates do not converge to the true value. Moreover, the resulting jackknife 

variance estimator has only two degrees of freedom, irrespective of the sample size. 

As mentioned above, the BRR method is designed for surveys with two PSUs per 

stratum. Because the NPSAS:93 was not a two-PSU-per-stratum design, the first task was to 

approximate the design for variance estimation purposes as one with two analysis PSUs per 

stratum. Fortunately, that problem was solved when the NPSAS:93 jackknife weights were 

computed. As explained in section 7.4.2 of the NPSAS:93 Methodology Report, when 

computing the jackknife weights, a set of 42 pseudo-strata were developed. Instead of 

continuing with jackknife weights, BRR weights were computed for B&B:93/03 because of the 

superiority of BRR variance estimation for medians and other quantiles. 

The L = 42 pseudo-strata defined for NPSAS:93 were used to compute BRR weights 

based on the initial weights for the B&B:93/03 follow-up, namely BB03_W1. Wölter (1985) 

explains that to achieve “full orthogonal balance,” k half-sample replicates should be used where 

k > L and k is a multiple of 4. Since 11*4 = 44, k = 44 will be used. As Wölter further explains, 

any 44x44 Hadamard matrix can be used to define the 44 balanced half-samples. In particular, 

the 44 rows can be used to represent the 44 BRR replicates and any 42 columns can be used to 

represent the 42 NPSAS:93 pseudo-strata. A 44x44 Hadamard matrix was used to compute the 

BRR weights for B&B:93/03. Two columns were randomly selected to be deleted in order to 

identify 44 BRR replicate samples, as discussed below. 

Using Wölter's notation (with rows and columns reversed), let δh

(α)

 denote the element of 

the 44x44 Hadamard matrix in row h and column α. The “+1” and “-1” elements of the matrix 

will be used to define 44 initial balanced replicate weights from B03_01 and the NPSAS:93 

jackknife replicate and stratum variables, JACKREP and JACKSTR, as follows: 

+1 Æ the α-th BRR replicate contains the observations in the first pseudoreplicate from pseudo-stratum h (BRRWTα = 2 times B03_01 if JACKREP = 1; 

BRRWTα = 0 if JACKREP = 2); and 

–1 Æ the α-th BRR replicate contains the observations in the second pseudoreplicate from pseudo-stratum h (BRRWTα = 2 times B03_01 if JACKREP = 2; 

BRRWTα = 0 if JACKREP = 1). 

From each of the 44 BRR initial replicate weights defined in this manner, the final BRR replicate 

weights were computed using exactly the same weight adjustment procedures that had been 

implemented for the full B&B:93/03 sample. 

Two sets of BRR weights were computed, one corresponding to the cross-sectional 

weight, and the other corresponding to the panel weight. The final BRR weights, rounded to 

integer values, are named as follows. 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation 

 86 

 B03BRR01 – B03BRR44 BRR weights for the 2003 respondents, to be used for 

 cross-sectional analyses; and 

 B3PBRR01 – B3PBRR44 BRR weights for respondents to the 1993, 1994, 1997, and 

 2003 surveys, to be used for longitudinal analyses. 

In addition, BRR weights corresponding to the initial B&B weight, BNBWTO, were constructed 

for analyzing the full B&B cohort. These weights are 

 B00BRR01 – B00BRR44 BRR weights corresponding to BNBWTO, for the 11,190 

 students in the B&B cohort.

6.3 Accuracy of Estimates 

The accuracy of survey statistics is affected by both random and nonrandom errors. 

Random errors reduce the precision of survey statistics, while nonrandom errors result in bias 

(i.e., estimates that do not converge to the true population parameter as the sample size increases 

without limit). 

The sources of error in a survey are often dichotomized as sampling and nonsampling 

errors. Sampling error refers to the error that occurs simply because the survey is based on a 

sample of population members, rather than the entire population. All other types of errors are 

nonsampling errors, including survey nonresponse (due to the inability to contact sampling 

members, their refusal to participate in the study, etc.) and measurement errors, such as the errors 

that occur because the intent of survey questions was not clear to the respondent, because the 

respondent had insufficient knowledge to answer correctly, or because the data were not captured 

correctly (e.g., because of recording, editing, or data entry errors). 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation 

 88 

Sampling errors are primarily random errors for well-designed surveys, like B&B:93/03. 

However, nonrandom errors may occur if the sampling frame does not provide complete 

coverage of the target population. The B&B:93/03 survey instrument and data collection 

procedures were subjected to thorough development and testing to minimize nonsampling errors 

because these errors are difficult to quantify and are likely to be nonrandom errors. 

In section 6.3.1, design effect calculations are described, and sampling errors and design 

effects for some B&B:93/03 estimates are computed and presented for a variety of domains. 

Section 6.3.2 presents an analysis which compares the B&B:93/03 nonrespondents and 

respondents using characteristics known for both nonrespondents and respondents to look for 

characteristics that may be related to bias due to unit nonresponse and for variables that might be 

used in the weighting to adjust for this potential bias. An analysis examining the effect that the 

nonresponse adjustment had on this potential bias is also presented. 

6.3.1 Measures of Precision: Standard Errors and Design Effects 

The cumulative effect of random errors on the precision of a survey statistic is measured 

by the standard error of that statistic. The standard error of a statistic is the estimated standard 

deviation of the sampling distribution of the statistic over repeated samples of the same size 

using the same sampling design. Hence, the standard error of a survey statistic depends not only 

on the natural variability of the observations in the population and on the sample size, but also on 

the characteristics of the sampling design. Features of the sampling design that affect the 

sampling variance of a survey statistic (the square of the standard error) include stratification, 

multistage or cluster sampling, and unequal sampling rates. Stratification can increase precision 

if outcomes are more homogeneous within strata than between strata, but the other survey design 

features usually decrease precision. Moreover, statistical adjustment of the analysis weights to 

reduce the potential for bias due to nonresponse often decreases precision since these 

adjustments often cause an increase in the variability of the analysis weights. 

The cumulative effect of the various factors affecting the precision of a survey statistic is 

often modeled as the survey design effect. The design effect, designated as DEFF, is defined as 

the ratio of the sampling variance of the statistic under the actual sampling design divided by the 

variance that would be expected for a simple random sample of the same size. The square root 

of the design effect (also called the root design effect, and designated as DEFT) is also useful. 

The following formulas define the design effects and root design effects: 

Var ( )

θ θ =

In these formulas, ^

θ represents the survey statistic of interest. Hence, the design effect is unity 

(1.00), by definition, for simple random samples. For most practical sampling designs, the 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation 

 89 

survey design effect is greater than unity, reflecting that the precision is less than could be 

achieved with a simple random sampling of the same size (if such a design were practical). The 

size of the survey design effect depends largely on the sample size and intracluster correlation 

within the primary sampling units (e.g., number of students per institution and within-institution 

correlations). Hence, statistics that are based on observations that are highly correlated within 

institutions will have higher design effects for B&B:93/03. 

The simple random sample variance used in this report is computed conditional on the 

sample size of the analysis domain. Specifically, if nd is the respondent sample size in the 

domain and d

θ is the weighted estimate of the proportion for the domain, then the simple 

random sample variance is computed as

To provide an approximate characterization of the precision with which B&B:93/03 

survey statistics can be estimated, a series of tables has been prepared to provide estimates of key 

statistics, their standard errors, and the estimated survey design effects. These are presented in 

appendix H for a variety of survey estimates for domains defined by 

• all respondents;

• race/ethnicity; 

• gender, and

• control of the base year school (public or private)

Tables in this appendix give the percentage estimates, the design based standard errors (produced 

using BRR and SUDAAN [2001]), the denominator sample size, and DEFF and DEFT. The 

tables also give the mean, minimum, and maximum values of DEFF and DEFT for each domain. 

The tables present design effect results using both the cross-sectional and panel weights. 

6.3.2 Measures of Bias 

6.3.2.1 Nonresponse bias analysis 

Unit nonresponse causes bias in survey estimates when the outcomes of respondents and 

nonrespondents are different. A bias analysis was conducted to determine if any variables are 

significantly biased due to nonresponse. Three types of nonresponse bias analyses were 

considered: 

• nonrespondents versus respondents; 

• early refusals who were later converted to respondents versus other respondents; and 

• late respondents (those who responded August 1, 2003 or later) versus earlier 

respondents. 

Persons who initially refused and those who responded later in the interview period, may have 

nonresponse-like behavior. 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation

For the first of these, respondents and nonrespondents were characterized by comparing 

the weighted13 percentage of respondents with the weighted percentage of nonrespondents for 

each category of important characteristics known for both respondents and nonrespondents. 

Characteristics used in the analysis included those used in the weight adjustments. As noted 

earlier, not all levels of all variables were included in the response adjustments due to model 

dependencies and small sample sizes. Statistical tests (t tests) were performed to determine 

whether the difference between respondents and nonrespondents is significant at the 5 percent 

level. Table 32 compares the demographic characteristics of respondents and nonrespondents. 

This table shows that the distributions of demographic characteristics such as race/ethnicity, 

citizenship, control of base-year institution, region of the base-year institution, whether the 

student applied for aid in the base year, receipt of federal, state, and/or institution aid, whether 

the student responded to prior rounds of data collection, and locator information (telephone 

numbers available, number of times an answering machine was encountered, and whether the 

student lives in a field cluster) are significantly different for respondents and nonrespondents. 

Table 33 performs a similar analysis, but compares demographic characteristics of those 

respondents who initially refused but were later converted to respondents with other respondents. 

This comparison was made because the refusals who were converted are likely similar to the 

refusal nonrespondents who were not converted. This analysis shows few differences in the 

distributions of demographic variables for refusals who were later converted and other 

respondents. Distributions are significantly different, however, for the following characteristics: 

receipt of institution aid in the base year, whether the student responded to prior rounds of data 

collection, and the number of times an answering machine was encountered. 

 

13 The unrounded base weight, BB03_W1U, was used. Missing values were excluded for the demographic variables.

Table 34 compares the demographic distributions of those who responded early (July 31, 

2003, or earlier) with those who responded later (August 1, 2003, or later). This analysis was 

performed because it is likely that those who responded later in the interview period may be 

similar to those who did not respond. This analysis shows that the distributions of early and late 

responders are similar for many of the demographic characteristics. However, the distributions 

of race/ethnicity, gender, citizenship status, student stratum, whether the student applied for aid 

in the base year, receipt of any aid in the base year, whether the student responded to prior 

rounds of data collection, and locator information (number of telephone numbers available, 

number of times an answering machine was encountered, and whether the student lived in a field 

cluster) are significantly different for early versus late respondents. 

The nonresponse bias was estimated for variables known for both respondents and 

nonrespondents. The bias in an estimated mean based on respondents, R y , will be estimated as 

the difference between this mean and the target parameter, Β, being estimated (i.e., the mean that 

would be estimated if a complete census of the target population were conducted). This bias can 

be expressed as follows: 

By y ( ) R r = −π . 

The estimated mean based on nonrespondents, NR y , can be computed using data for the 

particular variable for which the data for most of the nonrespondents were available. π can be 

estimated as follows: 

ˆ ( ) 1 R NR π ηη =− + y y

where η is the weighted unit nonresponse rate. Therefore, the bias can be estimated as 

follows: 

( ) ˆ ˆ By y R R = −π

or equivalently 

( ) ( ) ˆ

B R R NR y yy = − η . 

This formula shows that the estimate of the nonresponse bias is the difference between the mean 

for respondents and nonrespondents multiplied by the weighted nonresponse rate. 

The variance of the bias is then computed as follows: 

( ) 2 ˆ var( ) var B R NR = − η y y

where R y and NR y are the estimates using the original weights and var( ) R NR y y − was 

estimated using Taylor series linearization (taking into account the covariance between R y and 

NR y ). A t test was used to determine which variables have significant nonresponse bias at the 5 

percent level.

The first set of columns in table 35 shows the estimated bias before weighting for 

characteristics available for most responding and nonresponding students. The bias of several 

variables is statistically significant, such as race/ethnicity, citizenship, control and region of the 

base-year institution, whether the student applied for aid in the base year, whether aid was 

received, and whether the student responded to one of the prior rounds of the survey. However, 

the bias is small for some of these variables. 

The second set of columns in table 36 shows the estimated bias after the nonresponse 

weight adjustments for variables available for most responding and nonresponding students. 

Some variables have zero bias after the nonresponse adjustments, and the bias is not significantly 

different from zero for the remaining variables. 

Weight adjustments are typically used to reduce bias due to unit nonresponse, and the 

results in tables 32–35 show that these adjustments are definitely important for reducing the 

potential for nonresponse bias due to the differences between respondents and nonrespondents. 

The nonresponse models incorporated the survey stratification variables, variables identified 

during the CHAID analysis, and other variables that were thought to be predictive of 

nonresponse (i.e., the variables in the rows of tables 32–35). The three steps of nonresponse 

adjustment: 

• inability to locate the student; 

• refusal to be interviewed; and 

• other noninterview 

were used to adjust for the potential bias resulting from the three different types of nonresponse. 

Section 6.1 of this chapter gives details of the weighting.

6.3.2.2 ROC curve 

As described in section 6.1, three nonresponse adjustment models were used for 

computing the final cross-sectional analysis weights for B&B:93/03. To assess the overall 

predictive ability of the combined models, a Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve 

was used. A point on an ROC curve is constructed by considering a given predicted probability 

as a cutoff point for deciding whether a person is a respondent or a nonrespondent. For a given 

cutoff, a point on the ROC curve is obtained by plotting the proportion of respondents with a 

predicted probability greater than the cutoff (i.e., true positives) versus the proportion of 

nonrespondents with a predicted probability greater than the cutoff (i.e., false positives). The 

points on the ROC curve are then obtained by computing the proportion of true and false 

positives for the entire range of possible cutoffs. 

The area under an ROC curve measures the probability that the fitted model will correctly 

classify two randomly chosen individuals—one of which is a true respondent and the other a true 

nonrespondent—where the individual with the higher predicted probability of response is 

classified as a respondent. An area of 0.5 under an ROC curve indicates that a correct 

classification is a 50:50 proposition, with the model providing no predictive benefit. An area of 

1 indicates that the true respondent always has the higher predicted probability of response and, 

thus, that the model always classifies the two individuals correctly. The area under the ROC 

curve in figure 9 is 0.69, so 69 percent of the time the predicted probabilities give the correct 

classification. 

All of the students in the B&B:93/03 sample were used for constructing this ROC curve. 

The student’s predicted probability of response was calculated as the product of the predicted 

probabilities obtained from the three GEM models described in section 6.1: P(located), 

P(nonrefusal for located students), and P(response for located students who did not refuse). 

These probabilities are the inverse of the adjustment factors from the GEM models. Since only 

located students were included in the nonrefusal model and only nonrefusals were included in the 

final response model, the predicted probabilities will not be directly available for students who 

were not located or for students who refused. The mean of the predicted probabilities was used 

for students who were in the models for the probabilities that were not directly available.

6.4 Response Rates 

6.4.1 Overall Response Rates 

The overall B&B:93/03 study response rate is an estimate of the proportion of the study 

population directly represented by the study respondents. Because the B&B:93/03 study 

includes a subsample of nonrespondents to NPSAS:93, B&B:93/94, and B&B:93/97, the overall 

study response rate is the product of the NPSAS:93 institution-level response rate times the 

B&B:93/03 student-level response rate. Therefore, the overall B&B:93/03 study response rates 

can be estimated directly only for domains defined by institutional characteristics. 

Both weighted and unweighted overall study response rates are shown in table 36, along 

with their institution and student response rate components. The institution-level response rates 

shown in this table are the percentage of institutions that provided sufficient data to select the 

NPSAS student-level sample; these rates were obtained from the NPSAS:93 Methodology 

Report (Loft et al. 1995, table 2.7). Only the weighted response rates can be interpreted as 

estimates of the proportion of the B&B study population that are directly represented by the 

study respondents. Table 36 shows that the student response rate is 83 percent and that 

approximately 74 percent of the B&B study population is represented by the respondents. The 

rate of population coverage varies by type of institution: the rate is higher for public institutions 

than for private institutions, and is higher for institutions offering a master’s or doctoral degree 

than for those offering bachelor’s or less, or first-professional degree. 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation 

 108 

Each weighted student response rate was calculated as the weighted number of 

respondents divided by the weighted number of eligible students. The weight used in these 

calculations was the B&B:93/94 base weight that has been adjusted for subsampling the 

B&B:93/97 nonrespondents; this is the weight variable BB03_W1. Each overall study response 

rate was calculated as the product of the NPSAS:93 institutional response rate times the student 

response rate. 

The overall response rates for B&B:93/03 are presented in table 37 by prior response 

status. The weighted response rates are highest for those students who were interviewed in 

B&B:93/97. Among those interviewed in all three of the previous surveys, the weighted 

response rate was 77 percent. Among those interviewed in only B&B:93/97 and B&B:93/94 or 

in only B&B:93/97 and NPSAS:93, the weighted response rates were 75 percent and 69 percent. 

The rates were much lower for those who were not interviewed in B&B:93/97 (53 percent or 

less). 

6.4.2 Bias Due to Item Nonresponse 

This section looks at the bias associated with item nonresponse for those questionnaire 

items with 15 percent or more item nonresponse. Table 38 presents those items that have 15 

percent or more item nonresponse and also had at least 50 potential respondents, along with the 

nonresponse rates. Potential respondents include those who responded to the item, those who 

should have responded to the item but did not, and those who did not respond to the gate 

question for an item. The nonresponse rates presented in table 38 include both of the latter two 

groups. For each of these items, tables in appendix I compare the demographic characteristics 

of respondents and nonrespondents with respect to 

• age; 

• race/ethnicity; 

• gender; 

• control of NPSAS:93 institution; and 

• region. 

The bias and the statistical significance of the bias were also estimated, using the 

formulas and methodology described in section 6.3.2. The final cross-sectional weight, 

BNBWT3, was used for the calculations. While some variables do show statistically significant 

biases, the actual bias is generally very small.

6.5 Imputation Methodology for the Baccalaureate and Beyond: 2003 

Study 

Consistent with the statistical standards adopted by the National Center for Education 

Statistics (NCES) in September 2002, key B&B:93/03 variables to be used in cross-sectional 

estimates were imputed. The variables identified for imputation were those which appear in the 

rows and columns of tables presented in the two B&B:93/03 descriptive reports (Bradburn, 

Nevill, and Forrest Cataldi forthcoming; Henke and Bugarin forthcoming). The imputations 

were performed in three steps. In the first step, the interview variables were imputed using the 

procedures described in the next section. Then, using the interview variables, including the 

newly imputed variable values, the set of derived variables was constructed. In the final step, the 

derived variables were imputed again, using the procedures described below. Table 39 lists the 

26 categorical CATI variables that were imputed. Only one continuous variable was imputed. 

Income from work in 2002 (B3INC02) had a weighted mean of $50,846 (n = 8,540) prior to 

imputation and a weighted mean of $50,961 (n = 8,810) after imputation. Similarly, table 40 

lists the 16 categorical derived variables that were imputed and table 41 lists the four continuous 

derived variables that were imputed. 

Sequential hot deck imputation, a common procedure for managing item nonresponse, 

uses respondent data as donors to provide surrogate values for records with missing data. In 

sequential hot deck imputation, imputation classes are defined, generally consisting of a crossclassification of covariates, and then missing values are replaced sequentially from a single pass 

through the data within the imputation classes. A related procedure, weighted sequential hot 

deck imputation, takes into account the unequal probabilities of selection into the original sample 

by using the sampling weights to specify the expected number of times a particular respondent’s 

answer will be used to replace a missing item. The expected selection frequencies are specified 

such that, over repeated applications of the algorithm, the expected value of the weighted 

distribution of the imputed values will equal in expectation, within imputation class, the 

weighted distribution of the reported answers. 

Weighted sequential hot deck imputation was selected for B&B:93/03 in part because it 

has the advantage of controlling the number of times a respondent record can be used for 

imputation and gives each respondent record the chance to be selected for use as a hot deck 

donor. To implement the procedure, imputation classes and sorting variables relevant to each 

item being imputed were defined. If more than one sorting variable was used, a serpentine sort 

was performed in which the direction of the sort (ascending or descending) changed each time 

the value of the previous sorting variable changed. The serpentine sort minimized the change in 

student characteristics every time one of the sorting variables changed its value. 

Imputation classes for the B&B:93/03 interview variables, and some of the derived 

variables, were developed using a CHAID analysis where only respondent data were modeled. 

The CHAID segmentation process first divided the data into groups based on categories of the 

most significant predictor of the item being imputed, and then split each of the groups into 

smaller subgroups based on the other predictor variables. The CHAID process also merged 

categories for variables found not to be significantly different. This splitting and merging 

process continued until no additional statistically significant predictors were found. Imputation 

classes for B&B:93/03 were then defined from the final CHAID segments.

6.5.1 Imputation of Interview Variables 

The B&B:93/03 interview variables were separated into two groups depending on the 

respondent base (or variable conditions). The first, unconditional group consisted of variables 

that applied to all respondents. The second, conditional group consisted of variables that applied 

to only a subset of respondents. Within the unconditional group, variables were sorted by 

percent missing and then imputed in order, from lowest percent missing to highest. Within the 

conditional group, the variables were first sorted by conditionality and percent missing, then 

imputed in the appropriate sequence. Since all computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) 

variables had less than 10 percent missing, a constant set of predictor variables was used in a 

CHAID analysis to determine imputation classes for each imputation variable. The analysis used 

the following set of predictor variables: age, gender, race/ethnicity, U.S. citizenship, dependency 

status, prior respondent, receipt of federal aid, and institutional region, institutional type, 

institutional level. Table 42 lists the imputation classes for each of the 27 CATI variables. Some 

of these predictor variables were missing for a small percentage of cases and were imputed first 

with a weighted sequential hot deck imputation. 

6.5.2 Derived Variable Imputation 

Derived variables for B&B:93/03 were imputed sequentially in four batches, using a 

specific order determined by the variable conditions resulting from the longitudinal nature of this 

study. Imputing sequentially allowed these derived variables (or further derived variables 

resulting from them) to be used as class variables for imputing variables in subsequent batches. 

The process helped to ensure consistency across derived variables. 

Most of the derived variables had several constraints defined by different combinations of 

data collected in prior rounds of the study. Therefore, a procedure for finding appropriate donor 

cases was developed before the imputation was performed. The procedure involved defining 

mutually exclusive groups or classes of respondents that met the constraints. The groups were 

used as the imputation classes for the weighted sequential hot deck imputation procedure. For 

the derived variables that did not have any constraints, a CHAID analysis was performed. The 

predictor variables included any prior imputed variables, including interview variables. Table 43 

provides a list of the derived variables, in the order in which they were imputed, along with a list 

of the other variables that were used to define imputation classes. Due to the complex nature of 

the constraints, a table of the imputation classes of derived variables is not provided.

6.5.3 Definition of Missing for Item Imputation 

For B&B:93/03, several codes were used to distinguish between legitimate and 

nonlegitimate missing items for the purpose of imputation. These codes were the following: 

• Refusal/terminated early: For all questions where the respondent refused to answer, 

the value of missing was assigned initially, and then imputed. Likewise, if the 

interview was terminated early, leaving some questions not asked, the value of 

missing was initially assigned and then imputed. 

• Legitimate skip: Many respondents could legitimately skip questions that did not 

apply to them. In these cases, the missing responses were coded as legitimate skips 

and were not imputed. 

• Not applicable: For B&B:93/03 nonrespondents, questions were not imputed. 

6.5.4 Evaluation of Imputations 

Comparing imputation distributions within imputation classes is a key measure for 

determining whether or not the weighted sequential hot deck imputation procedure produced 

acceptable results. The more similar the distributions, the more successful the imputation 
Chapter 6: Weighting and Variance Estimation 

 133 

process. For evaluation of the B&B:93/03 imputation results, distributions were considered to be 

similar when absolute differences were less than 5 percent. Absolute difference was calculated 

by subtracting the before imputation weighted percent from the after imputation weighted 

percent. If absolute differences greater than 5 percent were found, then the unweighted 

distributions would be examined to see if the large differences were due to small sample sizes. 

Any large differences would be evaluated and corrected (by using different imputation classes) 

and documented when no resolution was possible. 

Tables 39 lists the before and after imputation distributions of the CATI categorical 

variables that were imputed and Tables 40 and 41 list the before and after imputation 

distributions of derived variables that were imputed. No absolute differences greater than 5 

percent were found for any comparison.

What else has happened in the decade beyond your bachelor's degree? 

What is B&B? 

The Baccalaureate & Beyond Longitudinal Study – Third Follow-up (B&B) is collecting data on the activities and experiences of 1992-93 bachelor's degree recipients who were first interviewed in 1993 as part of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS). Study participants were interviewed one year later, in 1994, then again, four years later, in 1997. Now, ten years after earning their bachelor's degree, study participants will be interviewed one last time, in 2003. Educators, researchers, and policymakers at the local, state, and national levels will combine data from the 2003 interview with data from the prior interviews to produce national statistics. Major areas of interest include changes in employment and career decisions since the last interview, enrollment in graduate and other postbaccalaureate education, family formation, finances, and civic participation. From past interviews with B&B participants, we learned that: ♦ One year after earning the bachelor's 

degree, 87 percent of graduates were employed. Four years later, 89 percent were employed with 56 percent working in an area closely related to their degree. 

♦ At the time of graduation, 87 percent 

of bachelor's degree recipients expected to earn a graduate degree. About 17 percent of bachelor’s degree recipients enrolled in graduate or professional programs within one year of earning their degree. Four years later, 87 percent 

of those who applied to a graduate or 

professional school were accepted into at least one program, and 29 percent had enrolled. 

♦ About 30 percent of students were 

married before earning the bachelor's degree. Among those who had not married before graduating, 30 percent married during the first four years after college. 

♦ About 39 percent of bachelor's degree 

recipients still owed money for undergraduate and graduate student loans after four years. 

Who is conducting the study? 

♦ B&B is being conducted under contract 

for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), U.S. Department of Education by Research Triangle Institute (RTI), a not-for-profit research 

organization in North Carolina. B&B is authorized by the National Education Statistics Act of 1994 (PL 103-382). 

Why should I participate? 

Your continued participation will help provide researchers and policymakers with a better understanding of the educational, career, and life choices that bachelor's degree recipients make in the ten years following degree completion. It will also help them clarify the long-term benefits of a postsecondary education for the individual and for society. 

Participation in this study is voluntary. However, your participation is also essential to making this study a success. 

When will the study be conducted? 

This last B&B interview will be conducted in the spring and summer of 2003. The 

study will involve approximately 12,000 bachelor's degree recipients selected from almost 700 colleges and universities. 

How can I participate? 

To find out more about B&B, visit the study’s Web site at: http://surveys.nces.ed.gov/b&b Beginning in February 2003, you will be 

able to complete the interview yourself on the Web, or you can wait until one of our interviewers calls.

¿Qué más ha ocurrido durante los 

diez años desde que usted recibió su título universitario? 

¿Qué es el B&B? 

La cuarta serie del estudio Más Allá de los Estudios Universitarios se está realizando para recopilar datos acerca de las actividades y experiencias de estudiantes que recibieron el título universitario en el año académico 1992-1993 y que fueron entrevistado en 1993 como parte del Estudio Nacional sobre Asistencia Económica para Estudiantes en Escuelas Post-secundarias. En 1994 se volvieron a entrevistar a estos participantes, y también cuatro años después, en 1997. Ahora que han pasado diez años desde que recibieron sus bachilleratos universitarios, estamos entrevistando a estos participantes una vez más, en el 2003. Educadores, investigadores científicos, y las personas que formulan la política a nivel municipal, estatal y federal combinarán la información de las entrevistas en el 2003 con la de las entrevistas anteriores para generar estadísticas nacionales. Los temas de más interés incluyen los cambios de empleo y las decisiones relacionadas a su carrera profesional desde la última entrevista, la matriculación en programas graduados u otros programas educativos avanzados, la formación de familias, asuntos financieros y participación comunitaria. En estudios B&B pasados, aprendimos que: ♦ Un año después de recibir su título 

universitario, 87 por ciento de los estudiantes estaban trabajando. Cuatro años después, 89 por ciento estaban trabajando y 56 por ciento trabajan en un oficio relacionado a su profesión. 

♦ Al recibir el bachillerato universitario, 

87 por ciento de los estudiantes esperaban recibir un título de graduado. Aproximadamente 17 por ciento de los estudiantes se matricularon en un programa de estudios avanzados al siguiente año después de haberse graduado. Cuatro años después, 87 por ciento de los estudiantes que solicitaron admisión en un programa avanzado fueron aceptados, y 29 por ciento se matricularon. 

♦ Aproximadamente 30 por ciento de los 

estudiantes se casaron antes de recibir su título universitario. De los estudiantes que no se casaron antes de graduarse, 30 por ciento se casaron en los siguientes cuatro años. 

♦ Aproximadamente 39 por ciento de los 

estudiantes todavía tenía préstamos relacionados a sus estudios subgraduados y graduados cuatro años después de graduarse. 

¿Quién está llevando a cabo el 

estudio? 

Research Triangle Institute (RTI, por sus siglas en inglés) está realizando el estudio B&B bajo contrato con el Centro Nacional de Estadísticas sobre la Educación (NCES, por sus siglas en inglés) del Departamento de Educación de los Estados Unidos. RTI es una organización no lucrativa, ubicada en Carolina del Norte. B&B está autorizado por la Ley Nacional de Estadísticas Educativas de 1994 (PL 103-382). ¿Por qué debo participar? La continuación de su participación ayudará a proporcionar a los investigadores científicos y a las personas que formulan la política un mejor entendimiento de las decisiones que toman los estudiantes relacionadas con la educación, la carrera, y otros aspectos de la vida diez años después de haber 

recibido el bachillerato. Además su participación los ayudará a clarificar los beneficios de la educación post-secundaria a largo plazo para el individuo y la sociedad. Su participación en este estudio es voluntaria. Sin embargo, su participación es imprescindible al éxito del estudio. 

¿Cuándo se realizará el estudio? 

La última entrevista del estudio B&B se llevará a cabo durante la primavera y el verano de 2003. El estudio involucrará aproximadamente 12,000 personas seleccionadas de casi 700 universidades. ¿Cuánto tiempo dura la entrevista? La entrevista durará aproximadamente 20 minutos. La duración de la entrevista por el Internet varía según el tipo de enlace entre la computadora y el Internet. Si no tiene acceso a una computadora con una conexión rápida, es posible que usted prefiera llamar a la línea telefónica de ayuda para realizar la entrevista por teléfono. 

¿Cómo puedo participar? 

Para obtener más información sobre el estudio B&B, visite el sitio web del estudio en http://surveys.nces.ed.gov/b&b.Puede completar la entrevista por sí mismo en el Internet empezando en 

febrero de 2003, o puede esperar la 

llamada de un entrevistador. 

¿Cómo puedo realizar la entrevista 

en el Internet? 

Una vez que llegue al sitio web del estudio, seleccione Complete the 

Interview en el menú principal y siga las 

instrucciones. Se le proporcionará un número de identificación y una contraseña por separado antes del comienzo de la recopilación de datos. Si necesita ayuda para obtener acceso a la entrevista en el sitio web, por favor llame a la línea
