Abstract

Background: Postal (mail) QUESTIONNAIRES are a common way of gathering data in most surveys. One major limitation to mail survey is NON-RESPONSE BIAS. No response to questionnaire can causes low validity. Ideally response rate should be 100% in order to ensure a representative sample of the population. Since 1950 a large number of procedures to improve responses rates of mailed QUESTIONNAIRES survey are described in the survey literature such as: questionnaire"s layout, length, color, cover letter, incentives, introductory telephone call, prepaid return envelop arid.... Looking to the research findings of such studies shows some discrepancy and uncertainty about inducements strategies. Materials and Methods: The present study attempts to determine .the most effective the inducements strategies for minimizing non-responses mail QUESTIONNAIRES by looking at 75 original research and META ANALYSIS. Results: The results of study among the major area that examined indicates that: incentives (mean=16.50 &SD= 7.58), follow up letter postage and envelop (mean=9.75 &SD=4.63), questionnaire characteristics (mean= 7.15 &SD.=7.56), had most influences on response rates (p= 0.001 for all area). Other factors (color of questionnaire, quality of paper, introductory letter) however effects on increasing response rate, but no statistical significance were found.Conclusion: The result of this study has implication for researcher to minimize non response bias.
