Abstract: The Multi-level Integrated Database Approach (MIDA) is an innovative procedure to improve survey research in general and to assess and adjust for nonresponse bias in particular. Its utility for data collection, nonresponse measurement, estimate adjustment, interviewer validation, and analysis are considered. Also discussed is how MIDA extends survey methodology beyond existing practices. A demonstration of a MIDA-enhanced sample frame for U.S. households is carried out. Finally, further steps for the use and testing of MIDA are covered.
