SUMMARY:New Frontiers in Preventing, Detecting, and Remediating Fabrication in Survey  
 Research
DESCRIPTION:-------- DATE:  -------------------------------------------------------------    8:00am to 12:00pm    -------- LOCATION:  ---------------------------------------------------------    1730 Cambridge St., Belfer Case Study Room, S020  New Frontiers in Preventing, Detecting, and Remediating Fabrication in Survey   Research  Presented by:  The New England Chapter, American Association for Public Opinion Research  The American Statistical Association  The Harvard Program on Survey Research    *Event Overview:* This half day mini-conference will explore new ideas in   preventing, detecting, and remediating fabrication in survey research.   Presentations, discussion, and Q&A will focus on both practical and   theoretical considerations in addressing fabrication in today's challenging   survey environment. Two of the three presentations will focus specifically on   international survey research, where anecdotal evidence suggests the problem   is often the greatest, and where prevention and detection are the most   difficult.    Speakers for this event include:     * Gina Faranda - Director, Office of Opinion Research, U.S. Department of   State   * Michael Robbins - Project Director, Arab Barometer   * Rita Thissen - Sr. Research Programmer/Analyst, RTI International    *Discussants:*     * Fritz Scheuren, NORC   * Alan Zaslavsky, Harvard Medical School    *The event is free and open to the public.*  This is part of a 2014-15 series of events and articles exploring new   frontiers in preventing, detecting, and remediating fabrication in survey   research. The first event, held in December, 2014, focused on   interviewer-level fabrication and also touched on evidence of apparent   machine assisted fabrication, where a computer is used to generate data, as   opposed to more traditional \'curbstoning\'. This event is currently being   written up by the panelists for submission to the Statistical Journal of the   International Association of Official Statistics (IAOS). The IAOS recently   published an article by Peter Winker exploring a new method of detecting   fabrication using synthetic data.    Another event is planned for June with the Washington Statistical Society,   and is in the planning stages. And a session on fabrication was accepted for   the Total Survey Error conference in Baltimore, MD, to be held in September   2015.    Partial support for this event is provided to the Institute for Quantitative   Social Sciences at Harvard University through the Eric C. Mindich fund for   conferences in experimental social sciences.
