AmeriSpeak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AmeriSpeak is a nationally-representative panel of survey respondents from households across the United States. Created in 2014 by NORC at the University of Chicago,[1] AmeriSpeak members take surveys on various topics such as new ideas for products and policies, current events and trends in society, business and finance, health care, and personal technology .[2]

Membership[edit]

AmeriSpeak membership is by invite only by mail or by phone.[2] To represent a cross-section of U.S. households, AmeriSpeak scientifically and randomly selects members by address, inviting any adult living at that address to participate.[3] Members may register and participate in online surveys (or by phone if they have no internet access),[3] and receive "AmeriPoints" that can be redeemed for awards in the form of gift cards.[4]

Methodology[edit]

AmeriSpeak is a probability-based panel, meaning that respondents have a non-zero chance of selection. AmeriSpeak households are drawn from NORC National Frame, an area probability sample funded and managed by NORC and used for several NORC studies including the General Social Survey and the Survey of Consumer Finances. NORC’s National Frame is designed to provide over 99% sample coverage by supplementing the USPS Delivery Sequence File.[22]
