Using linked survey paradata to improve sampling strategies in the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey.
The main objective of this article is to examine how paradata from a prior survey can be used in developing a sampling scheme in a subsequent survey. A framework for optimal allocation of the sample in substrata formed for this purpose is presented and evaluated for the relative effectiveness of alternative substratification schemes.

Building wave response rates in a longitudinal survey:Essential for nonsampling error reduction or last in–first out?
This study examined the implications of a reduction in targeted first-round response rates in the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), a national health care survey designed to produce estimates of health care utilization, expenditures, and insurance coverage. Study findings revealed nonuniform results when evaluating the capacity of alternative design strategies to achieve precision targets while simultaneously satisfying data collection budget constraints for a variety of medical care expenditure estimates.
