Non-Response Bias

Research project: Non-Response Bias - Recruitment and Retainment of Longitudinal Survey Samples for Clinical Researchers


Welcome

Here you can read about the research project: 

“Non-Response Bias: Recruitment and Retainment of Longitudinal Survey Samples for Clinical Researchers” investigate and explore potential non-response bias of a longitudinal survey of recently bereaved individuals. Specifically, clarify whether non-response bias exists, where it emerges in the process of research, and how it can be gauged using register linkage. 

Project Purpose

The main aim is to provide evidence that non-response bias is a valid concern of clinical survey research and should be addressed within the overall literature as such. A secondary aim is to provide readers with knowledge and guidance for examining non-response bias within their own studies.

Methods and Ethics

The research lies at the intersection of psychology and epidemiology, with a focus on bereavement and mental health outcomes. Madeline has a special interest in prolonged grief disorder, health inequality, and methodological challenges such as nonresponse- and selection-bias in bereavement research. Madeline's work combines subjective self-report data with Danish register data to examine the psychological, social, and health consequences of grief.
