The effect of different sampling and recall periods in the CAHPS Clinician & Group (CG-CAHPS) survey.
Researchers examined the effect of changing the sampling and reference periods for the CAHPS((R)) Clinician & Group Survey from 12 to 6 months. They found that shortening the reference reduced the proportion of respondents reporting a blood test, X-ray, or other tests, and the most positive response was selected more often on the 6-month survey for 12 out of 13 questions. They concluded that surveys using a 6-month recall period may yield slightly higher scores than surveys with a 12-month recall period.
