Sample View help for Sample
The American National Election (ANES) 2020 Time Series Study [ICPSR 38034] used a contactless, mixed-mode design that was created in response to challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic made face-to-face interviewing unfeasible in 2020, and no in-person interviewing was done. Instead, a sequential mixed-mode design was implemented that included self-administered online surveys, live video interviews conducted online, and telephone interviews. Further sampling information can be found in the user guide in study 38034.
