Characteristics of People Who Do Not Complete a Public Health Interview: An Assessment of Colorado Enteric Disease Surveillance Data
Findings can guide efforts to improve response rates in groups least likely to be interviewed, resulting in reduced biases in surveillance data, better disease mitigation, and increased efficiency in case investigations. Timeliness of case interviews and additional funding to conduct case investigations were factors in increasing response rates.
