Is it possible to conduct fewer follow-up surveys and dedicate more of the evaluation resources to ensure a high response rate?
We suggest that you try to get at least 800 follow-up surveys completed during a given year. This number of completes will depend on both the number of follow-up surveys you conduct and the response rates for those surveys that you achieve. The higher the response rate the lower the number of individuals you will need to contact to achieve the target of 800 completed follow-up surveys.
